Marketing and AI, led by one person who joins your team.

I'm Anže Frantar, a fractional CMO and Chief AI Officer. I join your leadership team to lead marketing, AI, or both. Your people keep doing the work, and I answer for the results.

Lead: leadership roles

Pick one role, or both on one contract.

A senior leader in your team, a few days a week.

Marketing and AI often start as two projects with two owners. Sooner or later they meet in marketing, where customers first see AI, so I often hold both roles.

Build: products

A clear scope and a timeframe. What they build stays with you.

Three products. Start with the audit.

Each one has a name, a timeframe and a result that stays in your company.

Where I suggest starting2 to 3 weeks

The roadmap, to run with me or without me

Need a wider look first? The marketing function review interviews people across the company and ends with a twelve-month roadmap.

Play: workshops

In both, everyone in the room does the work.

Workshops with your team in the room.

Two workshops for teams that need to decide or build something together.

Not sure which one fits?

Every role, product and workshop is on one page, with four questions that point to the right one.

How I work, and the name

The name comes from this way of working. In the logo the first line is a scribble and the second never changes.

Why my company is called Fail Again. Fail Better.

The budget follows what works.

We try an idea on real work with a small budget, measure it honestly and stop what does not work. What works is written down and handed to your team.

  1. Agree the goal.

    We agree what should change and how we will measure it.

  2. Test it small.

    We try it on real work. The budget stays small.

  3. Measure honestly.

    We compare the result with what we expected and drop what did not work.

  4. Hand it over.

    We write down what worked and train the team to run it without me.

What people ask first.

What does a fractional CMO do?

A fractional CMO is a senior marketing leader who works in your company part-time, usually one to three days a week. I own the strategy and the budget, and I lead the team and the agencies. The minimum is six months.

How is this different from an agency or a consultant?

An agency delivers the work you agreed in advance, and a consultant tells you what they would do and leaves the doing to you. I sit in your leadership team and decide with you what comes first, and I stay responsible for the result while your people and your agencies get the work done.

What does it cost?

I don't publish prices because the work depends on your situation, so after a 30-minute call you get a fixed quote in writing within two working days.

Can you be our CMO and our Chief AI Officer at the same time?

Yes. One person holds the marketing role and the AI role on one contract, and the split between the two is checked every quarter. How the two roles work together

Do you work outside Slovenia?

Yes. I am based in Ljubljana and work across Europe in English, Slovenian, Croatian and Serbian.

Why would I hire someone whose company name says fail?

Because that is how I spend your budget: small tests first, then keep what works. The line comes from Samuel Beckett, and the page about the name tells the story. Why my company is called Fail Again. Fail Better.

Start with two sentences.
