Fractional CMO in New York

A New York fractional CMO for consumer and healthcare brands.

I’m Monica Hacker. I’m based in New York and Miami, and I lead growth as a fractional CMO for CPG, ecommerce, beauty and wellness, and healthcare brands. One senior person accountable for the number, without the full time hire.

New York and Miami. Working with brands across the US.

Who I work with here

New York brands starting from scratch or ready to scale.

Most New York brands I talk to already have the pieces: an in house team, an agency, a strong product, sometimes retail distribution. What’s missing is a senior owner who connects paid, retention, the site and the offer, and answers for revenue.

I work with CPG and better for you brands, DTC and Shopify brands, beauty, skincare and wellness brands, and New York practices that sell to patients, like dermatology, med spas and aesthetic clinics.

What I run

What a New York engagement covers.

01

Growth strategy and the number

A plan tied to revenue and margin, a budget that follows what works, and monthly business reviews with clear next moves.

02

Paid, retention and conversion as one system

Google, Meta, LinkedIn and CTV, email and SMS, and the site and checkout behind them, run against one set of numbers.

03

Leadership for your team and agencies

Clear priorities, better briefs and one accountable lead, so the people you already pay get more done.

Local research

What New York patients hear from ChatGPT.

I track what ChatGPT recommends to New Yorkers. In my October 2026 test of 15 answers about med spas, Botox, lip filler and laser in New York, one med spa was named in 12 of 15 answers, and dermatologists took 13 of 27 Botox and lip filler picks. If your practice isn’t on that list, that’s fixable.
