Personal Leadership and Execution with AIM

As founder and managing director of AIM, Maike Brockmeier is responsible for the strategic direction of demanding performance marketing mandates.

Companies can engage her for a clearly defined consulting project or an ongoing leadership role. When operational capacity is also needed, AIM's international team complements the collaboration with specialized resources.

This gives companies the support their situation actually requires: strategic clarity, experienced leadership, or the combination of strategy and execution.

Ways of Working Together

Strategic Consulting

For companies looking to analyze a specific challenge, review an existing performance marketing system, or thoroughly prepare an important growth decision. Maike identifies structural barriers, assesses options, and develops a prioritized roadmap.

Fractional and Interim Leadership

For companies lacking experienced performance marketing leadership internally. Maike takes on strategic responsibility on an ongoing or time-limited basis and steers channels, budgets, teams, and vendors.

Strategy and Execution with AIM

If a mandate needs operational capacity alongside strategic leadership, AIM can bring in specialists for performance marketing, SEO, GEO, tracking, content, and technical execution. Maike owns the strategic direction, the AIM team supports execution.

Fractional Performance Marketing Leadership

Experienced leadership capacity without an additional full-time hire

Fractional leadership is aimed at companies whose performance marketing needs strategic leadership that isn't currently available internally, or not sufficiently so.

Maike works with a defined monthly capacity as part of the extended leadership team. She connects business goals with performance marketing strategy and ensures channels, budgets, teams, and vendors are aligned to shared priorities.

Depending on the mandate, she takes responsibility for:

  • Strategic priorities and growth decisions
  • Channel architecture and budget allocation
  • KPI systems and management reporting
  • Steering internal teams, agencies, and specialists
  • Processes, accountability, and governance
  • Sparring with leadership, CMOs, or marketing managers
  • International and cross-channel performance setups

Operational execution happens through the client team, existing agencies, or AIM specialists, depending on the existing structure. Maike's focus is on leadership, steering, and the decisions that matter to the business.

When does fractional leadership make sense?

The model fits companies that:

  • Regularly need experienced leadership capacity
  • Don't want to create an additional full-time position
  • Need to coordinate multiple channels or vendors better
  • Want to develop their performance marketing in a structured way
  • No longer want important decisions made purely at the operational level

Interim Leadership

When a leadership position needs to be fully bridged temporarily, or a critical change phase needs to be steered intensively, the collaboration can be structured as a time-limited interim mandate.

Typical situations include vacancies, restructurings, agency changes, international acquisitions, or building new performance marketing structures.

Strategic Consulting

Well-founded decisions for concrete growth questions

Strategic consulting fits when a clearly outlined challenge needs solving, an existing setup needs reviewing, or an important investment decision needs preparing.

Maike analyzes the starting situation, identifies structural barriers, and develops prioritized recommendations. The result isn't a long list of possible measures, but a clear basis for decisions with actionable next steps.

Performance Strategy Audit

Analysis of channels, budgets, tracking, processes, and scaling barriers. You get a structured assessment of the status quo, prioritized recommendations, and a roadmap for the next 60 to 90 days.

Channel and Budget Strategy

Development of a cross-channel strategy for Google Ads, Meta Ads, Microsoft Advertising, Native Ads, SEO, and GEO. The focus is on each channel's role, budget allocation, measurability, accountability, and governance.

Growth Strategy Sprint

A compact consulting format for one concrete growth decision, for example:

  • Prioritizing markets and channels
  • Preparing a scaling phase
  • Assessing an existing agency or team setup
  • Realigning budget allocation
  • Preparing an international market entry

GEO and AI Visibility Strategy

Analysis of visibility in classic search engines and AI-driven answer systems. This produces concrete priorities for content, technical foundations, structured data, and digital authority signals.

Typical scope: a clearly defined project with analysis, a management workshop, and a prioritized roadmap.

No. As a fractional lead, Maike represents the company's interests and takes on overarching strategic leadership. Operational execution can happen through internal resources, existing agencies, or the AIM team.
