Marketing shouldn’t feel chaotic, overwhelming, or like something you’re constantly behind on, yet for many eCommerce business owners, it does.

In this first episode of the Head of Marketing Series, Chontelle Fossey challenges a core belief that keeps brands stuck: the idea that marketing is something to outsource, react to, or “try to fit in” when there’s time.

Instead, this episode reframes marketing as a leadership role, one that every eCommerce founder already holds, whether they realise it or not.

This episode is not about tactics, trends, or doing more.
It’s about stepping into the role of Head of Marketing, gaining clarity, and replacing overwhelm with structure and confidence.

Listeners will walk away understanding why marketing feels hard, what the Head of Marketing role actually involves, and how to start leading marketing with intention, even if it’s previously felt confusing or intimidating.

Why marketing feels overwhelming when there’s no leadership lens

What a Head of Marketing actually does (and what they don’t)

The mindset shift required to stop reacting and start leading

How clarity, not more tactics, removes marketing stress

Why you don’t need to be an expert to run effective marketing

How to formally claim the role of Head of Marketing in your business

How to define what marketing is responsible for (and what it isn’t)

How to create a simple “marketing command centre” to centralise decisions, priorities, and plans

These actions are designed to be implemented immediately — no tools, no tech overwhelm, no complicated systems required.

eCommerce founders who feel overwhelmed by marketing

Business owners who want more predictable, calm growth

Brands relying on agencies or freelancers but lacking clarity

Anyone ready to stop guessing and start leading their marketing

In Part 2, Chontelle breaks down the numbers every Head of Marketing needs to understand, and how using data (not emotion) makes marketing simpler, clearer, and far more effective.

In this episode of the Six Figure Systems podcast, Chontelle delivers a much-needed end-of-year pep talk for ecommerce business owners feeling flat about their 2025 results.

If you're staring down the final weeks of the year and wondering why your sales aren’t where you’d hoped, then this one’s for you. With her signature blend of strategy and real talk, Chontelle walks listeners through the common trap of doing "all the things" but getting nowhere fast.

She unpacks:

Why taking an emotional approach to your results could be keeping you stuck

The three-part question every business owner must answer before stepping into 2026

The power of focusing on one aligned strategy and mastering it

The real reason sales might not be coming in (hint: it's not your product)

Her personal story of finally hitting health goals, and why business goals are no different

Listeners will walk away with a clear understanding of:

What to measure each week in your ecommerce business

How to identify the exact strategy that suits your energy, lifestyle and goals

Why “dabbling” is the enemy of results

How Chontelle’s email marketing strategy delivers consistent results, without the hustle

In this refreshingly honest episode of Six Figure Systems, Chontelle shares a personal health update that surprisingly mirrors the exact formula needed to grow a successful e-commerce business.

After realising that weight loss was easier when it became a numbers game, calories in versus calories out, she draws the same comparison to business growth. Turns out, growing an online store isn’t about doing all the things. It’s about understanding which metrics matter, knowing your starting point, and measuring what moves the needle.

This episode is packed with practical advice, relatable real-life examples, and a reminder that it doesn’t have to feel so hard. If you’ve been spinning your wheels and getting nowhere, this is your sign to pause, focus, and choose ONE metric to improve first.
