Meet Neil Carroll
The On Demand CMO was founded to fix a problem Neil saw over and over during 10+ years running and partnering in marketing agencies: small businesses paying for activity, not outcomes.
Agencies sell campaigns, social posts, and reports. But most SME owners don’t need more activity — they need someone who understands their business, sets a clear strategy, and builds the systems that actually generate leads and revenue.
That’s what The On Demand CMO delivers. Neil combines hands-on marketing leadership with AI-powered tools — speed-to-lead automation, database reactivation, review systems, voice AI — that run in the background while you focus on your business.
- 10+ years in marketing agencies
- Based in Wakefield, serving clients across the UK
- Strategy + execution, not just advice
- Month-to-month, no long contracts

- We build and run the systems — speed-to-lead, reviews, database reactivation, voice AI — all working in the background
- Month-to-month — no retainers, no lock-in. Stay because it’s working, not because you’re stuck

How the AI CMO became the foundation of everything we do
When I started The On Demand CMO, I had the same problem every fractional CMO faces: there’s only one of me. I could set strategy for clients all day, but the execution — the content, the publishing, the follow-up, the reporting — was a bottleneck.
So I built an AI-powered marketing system to run my own marketing. Not a chatbot. Not a template. A proper senior marketing operator — one that plans content calendars, writes LinkedIn posts and blog articles in my voice, publishes on schedule, tracks performance, and flags what needs attention.
It worked so well that it became the backbone of my entire practice. Every piece of content you see from The On Demand CMO — every LinkedIn post, every blog article, every email — is produced and managed by this system.
Then clients started asking: “Can I have one of those for my business?”
So we packaged it. The On Demand AI CMO is the exact same system, configured for your business, your voice, your channels. Available as a DIY playbook or fully managed by us.
