AI Systems, Fractional Marketing Leadership & Campaign Execution built for challenger brands. We simplify, scale, and deliver — no PowerPoint theater required.
What We Do
Senior CMO-level guidance embedded in your business — without the full-time price tag. Strategy, accountability, team mentorship, and results.
We don't sell prompts. We install AI infrastructure — content automation, reporting intelligence, prospect research, and operational systems that run.
Paid search, paid social, SEO, content, and email — from strategy to execution. Every dollar tracked. Every campaign built to perform, not just to run.
About
I'm Francis, founder of Points South. I've spent 24+ years in the trenches — leading departments, managing seven-figure budgets, scaling agencies, and building brands that actually grow.
PSC was built on a simple premise: your marketing partner should be smarter, faster, and more direct than a big agency — without the bloat, the billings theater, or the account manager maze.
We work with challenger brands, founders who want partners (not babysitters), and agency teams who need senior horsepower without adding headcount.
Let's Have a Real ConversationBuilt for agencies and consultants who are done experimenting with AI and ready to actually deploy it. SFW:Unlocked is our parallel AI systems brand — tools, frameworks, and bespoke implementations built around the So F***ing What methodology.
What's Inside
Selected Work
Brand and condition-level SEO across a sprawling pharma .com property — paired with paid search across treatment, indication, and HCP-facing terms. Deep technical hygiene, content governance, and search ownership at scale.
Quantitative consumer research, competitive landscape analysis, and full media strategy build for a regional bank's deposit growth campaign. LinkedIn, Meta, and Google native lead gen audited and rebuilt; channel mix optimized against acquisition cost; creative testing framework deployed end-to-end.
Full-funnel launch for a value-tier stroller entering a category dominated by legacy players. Paid social and digital media, organic content engine, earned PR, and trade show activation — coordinated across every touchpoint from ABC Kids Expo to the shelf.
Consolidated media strategy across Healthcare, Mid-Market DM, and Commercial Print verticals for a national direct marketing agency.
Tier-1 disease research nonprofit. Always-on SEO, paid search, paid social, and lifecycle email feeding a single donor funnel — culminating in a Giving Tuesday and year-end push spanning match-gift windows, sustainer conversion, and peer-to-peer activation.
A competitor cloned the site. We ran the forensic trace, mapped the SEO and brand-equity damage, and drove the takedown — protecting organic search performance and brand integrity in the process.
