Mara Nieuwsma - Fractional CMO from Thirsk, UK

Location: Thirsk, UK.

Mara Nieuwsma Professional Overview:

For more than 20 years, I’ve led marketing and brand initiatives across a pretty wide spectrum, from global biotech and medtech companies to design-forward startups and e-commerce brands. No matter the industry, my work has always been about the same thing: blending strategic thinking with bold creativity to help teams connect with their audiences in ways that are clear, meaningful, and real.

I’ve built brands from scratch, reimagined ones that needed a fresh start, and guided companies through moments of big change—new leadership, new markets, new ambitions. Along the way, I’ve led teams, collaborated across continents, and gotten very good at turning complex ideas into smart, actionable marketing.

Now, I partner with businesses as a fractional CMO, strategic advisor, and creative problem-solver. Whether you need to rethink your brand, launch a product, or finally get that overdue marketing roadmap in place, I bring clarity, curiosity, and a hands-on approach to everything I do.
