A Full Marketing Department and a CMO from £3,000 a Month. Sigulp Says the Old Model Is Broken.

Hiring a CMO in the UK costs between £80,000 and £200,000 a year. Build the team around them - covering digital, SEO, social, PR, content, events and production - and you're looking at another £300,000 to £500,000 in salaries before a single campaign goes live. For most growing businesses, that's not a marketing budget. That's a barrier to marketing for smaller businesses.

London-based consultancy Sigulp has built a model that removes it. From £3,000 a month, clients get a full marketing department and a fractional CMO - not as an optional upgrade, but as standard. No junior account managers. No offshore teams. The CEO of Sigulp, Elvijs Plugis, as a CMO expert, works directly with the client's business as if it's his own.

"Most businesses hand their marketing to an agency and end up dealing with someone three levels below the person they thought they were hiring," says Elvijs Plugis, Founder and CEO of Sigulp. "We work differently. You deal with me. My team becomes your team, and I manage them for you. We sit inside your business and we're accountable for results - not just activity."

Sigulp's delivery covers the full marketing function: AI marketing, strategy, digital marketing, SEO, social media, paid advertising, content, PR, media production, events, partnerships, and market entry. The fractional CMO role - typically charged separately by other firms at £5,000 to £15,000 a month - is included within every engagement as complimentary.

Plugis is an MCIM-accredited marketing professional, G20 Golden 100 honouree, and has delivered over 500 international projects across 15 years in senior marketing roles. Sigulp's current client portfolio spans the UK, USA, France, India, Switzerland, and Malta, with active projects to mention a few, including in the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, the English Chamber Orchestra Gala, and a New York retail brand opening, and the Business Fashion Awards.

The firm is now opening a small number of new client partnerships for Q2 2026. Engagements start at £3,000 per month with no long-term lock-in required in the first instance.

"We're not a vendor. We're not a supplier. We become part of your business and ensure your marketing works," Elvijs adds. "That's a different conversation from what most agencies are having."
