Ignite Your Marketing in Dartmouth
At Charcoal Marketing, we specialize in fractional marketing — or as we like to call it, having a full marketing team without adding another coffee machine to the office.
While we’re based just across the harbour, we work closely with businesses throughout Dartmouth and the greater Halifax area, bringing big ideas, smart strategy, and creative execution to companies that are ready to grow.
Whether you need paid ads, content creation, social media management, PR, or full-scale strategy, we’ve got you covered. Our job is to make marketing seamless and effective, without the complexity (or cost) of building an in-house team.
Why Charcoal?
Let’s be honest — marketing is one of those things that feels manageable… until it isn’t.
That’s where we come in. Think of us as your on-call marketing department — experienced, proactive, and focused on results (without ever asking about the birthday cake schedule).
Here’s why businesses in Dartmouth choose to work with us:
Your Full Team, Fractionally Speaking: With Charcoal, you get access to strategists, designers, writers, ad specialists, and content creators — without committing to full-time salaries and overhead.
We know Dartmouth: From Downtown Dartmouth to Burnside, Woodside, and beyond, we understand the local landscape (we’ve done plenty of work across the bridge!), and how to position you effectively within it.
End-to-End Execution: Strategy is only helpful if it’s executed well. We handle everything from planning to rollout so you’re not managing five different freelancers.
Our Fractional Marketing Services
When we say full-service, we mean it. Here’s what that looks like:
Photo & Video
High-quality visuals that reflect your brand and stop people mid-scroll.
Paid Advertising
Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn and more — strategically managed to make your budget work smarter.

PR & Communications Strategy
Launching something new? Building credibility? We’ll help shape the story.
Marketing Planning & Execution
From annual strategy to campaign-level planning, we connect the dots so your efforts build momentum over time.
Why Fractional Marketing?
Hiring in-house can make sense — but it often means hiring one person and expecting them to do the work of five. Fractional marketing gives you a full team, shared across businesses like yours. You get senior-level thinking, creative horsepower, and execution support — without the long-term overhead.
It’s flexible. It’s efficient. And it scales with you.
