Fractional analytics and storytelling

FATHOM (verb): to get to the bottom of something; to finally understand how deep it goes.

Fathom your numbers.

The fractional analytics and storytelling partner for founder-led CPG brands. Real data, real insights, at a fraction of what it costs to hire a full team.

Madison Marsh, founder of Fathom CPG
Hello, I'm Madison

I started my career in CPG and discovered
my passion for numbers by turning data into
stories that helped influence the business.

That experience led me to start Fathom—and it's what I bring to founder-led brands as part of your team.

Fathom is one person, not an agency. You get an experienced analyst who has sat in the buyer meetings, built promo plans, and pulled the data hundreds of times. I bring the depth. You stay the expert on your brand.

The founder

You stay the expert. I bring the depth.

The founder is always the expert on their own brand. My job is to bring the hard data and analytical depth that lets you walk into a room confident your ideas are backed by proof.

Syndicated data, trade planning, category management, retailer deck building. Hands-on, not advisory.
