How do you grow your sales while keeping costs in check? Its a process, a continuous cycle of analysis, testing, learning, executing, reviewing—and then repeating all over again. It may sound tedious but if you want true sustainable results analytics is the answer. Every investment carries risk—whether you’re a global enterprise allocating significant funds or an SME with limited resources and tough choices. But one thing is certain: you should never invest without confidence in your returns. The key to building that confidence is a structured, data-driven approach. That’s exactly what we implemented for a recent professional services client. Like many businesses, they relied solely on PPC advertising, but our analysis showed that demand was maxed out and costs were climbing. Our recommendation? A multi-channel strategy integrating PPC, Meta (Facebook & Instagram), and TikTok. The results were transformative: ✔️ Within three weeks, the improved performance gave them the confidence to scale investment. ✔️ By month three, sales had increased 10.5x, while their cost per acquisition (CPA) dropped by 80%. ✔️ The biggest surprise? TikTok—a completely new channel—was their top performer. The formula is simple but powerful: ➡️ Compare strategies—email vs. PPC, events vs. webinars, messaging variations, and more. ➡️ Analyse, test, and learn—identify what works before scaling. ➡️ Set targets, execute, and review—ensuring every decision is data-backed. If you need to increase sales with confidence, let’s talk.

Who exactly are Mighty Atoms and what do we do? We do anything to help businesses grow. It could be transitioning to or building a new e-commerce solution, developing a new product, lead generation, or customer acquisition. Our network and skillset allow us to use traditional marketing techniques such as positioning and branding or digital and technology solutions from SEO to CRM and because we've worked in several different sectors we're industry agnostic. Our customers are startups and small and medium businesses ranging from £5 million to £100 million turnover. We use a sophisticated tool to identify exactly what the business needs to do to grow (or accelerate), create realistic but challenging business cases that provide the confidence to invest, and then execute that plan with a flexible network of trusted specialist freelancers. So, what’s different about Mighty Atoms? Each project is run by a commercial leader with at least 20 years of experience in blue-chip businesses. Such as Pepsi, Starbucks, Pizza Express, Virgin, and Disney. We’ve also of course worked in SMEs and Startups.

It’s International Women’s Day on Saturday 8th March and Mighty Atoms has couple of very good reasons to celebrate. 1. We are lucky to have several brilliant women who seem to effortlessly run their family, bring up their children and continually perform in sales and marketing. 2. Their natural multi-tasking, organisational skills and a need to make decisions quickly has made them particularly deft at working on several fast-moving projects and customers at the same time. We asked a few of our team about their experiences: "Being a working mum means constantly switching gears—one moment in a brand strategy session, the next negotiating with a toddler over pyjamas, then balancing client calls with playdates. It’s challenging, but it makes me better at what I do. Thinking fast, managing unpredictability, and staying calm under pressure are second nature. Parenting is the ultimate crash course in adaptability and problem-solving.” Suzanne L., Marketing Manager "One minute I’m developing a strategy, the next figuring out dinner with an empty fridge, then resolving a resource issue or drying tears over school dramas. These constant shifts make me a stronger strategist—thinking on my feet, multitasking, and applying lateral thinking to problem-solving.” Karen Trickett, Co-Founder and CEO "Being a working mum is the ultimate marketing training—setting boundaries, handling pressure, and making fast decisions (like getting kids out the door on time!). The flexibility of fractional work lets me create real impact across sectors. Motherhood has sharpened my agility, decision-making, and ability to adapt." Melanie Morris, Fractional CMO Some days I reflect on how much has happened and wonder how it all did. I’ve become a professional at moving from home to work life in an instant, producing last minute emergency costumes and drawing a good poster – who knew my art skills would improve since school! It’s challenging and I do feel guilty (that’s normal!) but I have learnt that being a working mum works for me. I like the variety, flexibility and opportunity fractional marketing provides to work across different sectors. I have realised this is where I am meant to be, working with new clients, spotting opportunities, moving at pace and helping clients solve challenges. Just in the same way I am at home (although I draw the line at Physics). Leanda Trethewey, Fractional CMO A huge thanks to all the talented women in Marketing, and in HR Tracey Ashworth-Davies and Risk Gail Glen and CRM Lorna Bell and PR Katherine Busby and Digital marketer par excellence Laura Moxham

We did it… 🎉 Today, we’re thrilled to announce that over £250 Million in capital has been raised for the UK’s female founders 🇬🇧 This marks a historic milestone in our mission to make the UK the best place in the world for female entrepreneurs to thrive. Major investors - including Barclays, M&G plc, British Business Bank, Morgan Stanley, Visa Foundation, BGF and Aviva - have pledged their commitment to investing in female-led businesses, either directly or through the ‘Women Backing Women’ fund. At over £250 million, the funding pool is among the largest globally for female-powered teams. Female decision-makers will be responsible for deploying the investment pool.

“Go Fractional or Go Home!” That is the tagline from Mighty Atoms, and they believe the future is fractional. But this shift isn’t just happening in finance. That’s why, to kick off Season 2 of The New F*Word podcast, I invited Karen Trickett from Mighty Atoms, a fractional recruitment firm, to share her insights on the rise of fractional positions and the impact they’re having across the UK. Karen mentioned that the best fractionals are strategic thinkers who bring hands-on expertise to accelerate growth. This is music to my ears! If you want to hear more of Karen’s take on: 🚀 Why fractional roles are gaining traction 🧠 The thinking behind choosing a fractional approach 🤝 How to find the perfect fractional match You can head over to our brand new substack community to listen to the full episode. That’s right! With Season 2, we’re also launching our community newsletter, where you’ll get exclusive insights and join discussions on the future of fractional in the start-up and scale-up world. It’s a great place to get insights, connect, and see what’s next for finance and beyond. I'll leave the link in the comments 👇 #FutureisFractional #FractionalCFO #Finance
