What I do

Consulting

From a first assessment to a full marketing strategy: audits, KPIs, AI opportunities and team training.

  • Marketing reviews and audits
  • SEO, GEO and AEO audits with clear recommendations
  • Marketing plans and KPIs
  • AI opportunity check: where AI saves time in marketing – and where it doesn't
  • Marketing strategy and team training
  • Rolling out AI in your team: tools, guidelines, training

Interim CMO

As a fractional or interim CMO, I bridge leadership gaps, lead teams and get your marketing ready for AI.

  • Fractional CMO
  • Leading and building teams
  • Developing your marketing strategy
  • Start-up marketing
  • Setting up or scaling marketing processes with AI
  • Rolling out AI in your team: tools, guidelines, training

HUMAN IN THE LOOP

AI where it speeds things up – experience where judgement counts.

I use AI for analysis, reporting and campaign variants, which saves you time and budget. Strategy, priorities and sign-off stay with me – and with you.

  • More efficient: less time on routine work, more on strategy
  • Safe: GDPR-compliant, using only tools you know and approve

About me

I'm Brinja Inserra, a freelance marketing consultant and interim CMO with more than 15 years' experience in e-commerce, performance marketing and brand strategy.

I've worked for brands including Etihad Airways, Honda, bofrost*, Hertz, Continental and Bang & Olufsen – both at international agencies and in-house. Along the way I've learnt what works and, just as importantly, what doesn't. That experience goes into every project.

I've been self-employed since 2023. As an interim CMO, I step in when the head of marketing role is vacant and use that time to bring clarity: setting priorities, getting things done and strengthening the team. So when the role is filled, your marketing is in better shape than before.

I think strategically but stay close to the day-to-day. I use AI where it saves time and adds value – decisions and accountability stay with me.

FAQs

What does an interim CMO do?

An interim CMO leads marketing for a set period – during a vacancy, a change of direction or a growth phase. I set priorities, get things moving and strengthen the team, so your marketing is in good shape when the role is filled.

What's the difference between an interim and a fractional CMO?

As an interim CMO, I work with you intensively for a fixed period, usually to cover a vacancy. As a fractional CMO, I lead your marketing on an ongoing part-time basis, for example a few days a month. That suits companies that need senior marketing leadership but not a full-time hire.

Who do you work with?

Mainly SMEs, start-ups and online shops in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. My experience comes from international agencies and in-house roles, with brands such as Etihad Airways, Honda and bofrost*.

Do you work remotely or on site?

I mainly work remotely, but I'm always happy to come to you for on-site meetings. Regular days at your office are also possible by arrangement.

How do you use AI in marketing?

I use AI for analysis, reporting and campaign variants. That saves time and budget. Strategy, priorities and sign-off stay with people – with me and with you. I work GDPR-compliantly and only with tools you know and approve.
