Luminizing Growth is a consultancy designed to help early-stage teams find focus, earn trust, and scale with intention. We partner with visionary founders to develop the right go-to-market motion and growth guidance, illuminating the path forward beyond cookie-cutter playbooks.

Luminizing Growth was founded by Jenny Kay Pollock after more than a decade leading growth and marketing at venture-backed startups. She recognized a pattern of teams with strong vision but scattered execution, brilliant ideas but unclear messaging, and fast builds but stalled adoption.

Our name reflects what we do: Illuminate + Optimize + Grow. We illuminate your growth journey by providing clarity and strategic direction.

A Fractional CMO is a marketing executive who helps with customer acquisition, sales development, and company growth without the full-time cost. They develop comprehensive marketing strategies, oversee brand management, analyze market trends, optimize budgets, and implement data-driven decision-making processes.

A Fractional CMO typically reports directly to the CEO, focusing on marketing plans and helping your business target its audience. They work on specific projects and high-impact tasks including conducting research, crafting strategies, developing your brand, tracking progress, and forming partnerships—all while bringing strategic insight and execution to your most important marketing objectives.

Building a great product isn't enough. Too many great products never succeed because they're missing the right go-to-market motions or growth guidance.

An effective marketing strategy helps startups analyze, define, and understand their environment to make more educated decisions. Early marketing focus can accelerate growth, optimize limited resources, mitigate risks, and give you a competitive edge in your market.
