I'm Justin

Justin True – Fractional CMO & founder of JDT Advisors. 15 years helping small marketing teams operate like Fortune‑500 marketing departments.

I’m a Chicago-based Fractional CMO who’s helped businesses across 30+ industries clarify, prioritize, and activate their marketing. I love meeting people wherever they are on their growth journey—whether that’s building a smarter strategy, navigating team shifts, or finally figuring out what marketing should actually be doing. I live in Lincoln Park with my partner and our pup Nixon, and when we’re not on a strategy call, we’re probably bouncing between neighborhood cafés or headed to O’Hare.

FAQ

Common Questions

Nothing—zip, zero, zilch. The Summer 1 cohort is 100 % free. My only ask is that you show up, participate, and apply what you learn.

B2B marketing managers, directors, or specialists who run a team of three or fewer (often just you). If you juggle demand gen, content, social, analytics, and reporting on your own, you’re in the right place.

Three live 90‑minute sessions (Jun 11, Jul 9, Aug 13) plus optional Slack discussions in‑between. No homework—just an action‑plan worksheet you’ll complete during each call.

Yes, but recordings are shared only with registered cohort members so you can catch up if you miss a meeting or re‑watch key moments. They won’t be published publicly.

Neither. It’s an interactive mastermind: cameras‑on (if you can), open mics, real‑time problem‑solving, and peer feedback. Think round‑table, not lecture.

No hard sells. The focus is delivering value. If you ever want one‑on‑one coaching, you’ll ask—I won’t hijack the session with sales slides.

We cap Summer 1 at 25 marketers to keep the conversations tight and ensure everyone gets airtime.

Come with one pressing marketing challenge or goal, any metrics or context you can share, and a willingness to help others brainstorm. We’ll supply the templates and facilitation.
