5x Enterprise trial-to-paid conversion

Fractional CMO for Data Infrastructure Startups

Senior marketing leadership embedded in your startup — strategy, execution, and team-building at a fraction of a full-time CMO cost. For Data Infrastructure companies, this means navigating challenges unique to your category: Data engineer vs. data scientist vs. analyst buyer and Technical depth requirements.

Data pipelines, streaming platforms, data lakes, and modern data stack tooling for engineering teams. Generic marketing agencies don't understand the nuances of Data Infrastructure — the buyer personas, the sales cycles, the proof points that matter. Cactus Marketing has worked with 5x Enterprise trial-to-paid conversion and built a playbook specifically for this category.
