Fractional Head of Growth · For founder-led brands

Find what is capping your growth. Then fix it.

I'm Sanjana Raju. I join founder-led brands as their senior growth lead: I find the constraint, set the plan, and stay accountable to revenue and profit.

Free discovery call. No pitch, no deck.

Sound familiar?

Most founders do not need more marketing. They need a clearer read on what is working.

01

Your agency says you have hit a ceiling

Efficiency drops every time spend goes up, and the explanation is that the market is tapped out. It usually is not.

02

You get reports, but no clear read

Every agency and platform reports its own win. Nobody is reconciling them against revenue and profit.

03

You need a growth leader, not another freelancer

The business has outgrown founder-led marketing, but a full-time senior hire is premature.

Ways to work together

The right level of help for where you are now.

Selected results

Not about adding more spend. About finding what is limiting growth.

“Our agency told us we'd hit the ceiling for a niche product. Sanjana didn't accept that. She found exactly where buyers were hesitating, fixed it, and built new demand beyond paid ads. Revenue is up 50% year over year, and still growing.”

“I worked with Sanjana for a few years and she is, without doubt, one of the best in the industry at what she does. She is incredibly smart, tactful, methodical, and is always one step ahead of where she needs to be.”

Cory DobbinCEO, Shoelace · Managed Sanjana directly

“Sanjana did great work at Shoelace helping the team navigate a really challenging pivot. She knows how to identify which problems need the most attention and has a good sense for how to solve them.”

How it starts

Every month ships something you can see and measure.

01 · First weeks

Find what is leaking

A written plan of what to fix, in order.

02 · From day one

Own the numbers

A baseline, targets, and reporting you can check.

03 · Every month

Ship, measure, repeat

One change, one test, one readout on what moved.

Work together

Growing, but not sure what is capping it?

Best fit: founder-led brands doing $1M or more in revenue, with product-market fit. I will tell you honestly on the first call whether I can help.

I work with three to four brands at a time.
