What we’re really good at

Partnerships & Affiliate Marketing

Partnerships are one of the most overlooked but cost-effective ways to grow. With our deep expertise, we’ve helped businesses double their exposure without doubling their cost.

Marketing Strategy & Planning

We dig into what’s working, what’s not, and spot opportunities for your business to grow. It’s deep-cut, senior-level thinking—without the full-time cost. We believe in strategy first, organic growth over quick paid wins, so your business has staying power even if budgets tighten.

Campaigns

Planning your next campaign push? We shape strategy, develop creative concepts and assets, and support rollout—while working closely with your team and monitoring results as we go.

Marketing Mentorship

As marketing experts, we’ll coach your junior marketers on strategy, execution, and decision-making. We also offer hiring help, from reviewing resumes to conducting interviews.

B2B2C? DTC? We do both.

Got a launch coming up? Struggling to hit a growth target without a full marketing team? We act as your senior part-time marketing team for everything from research-driven strategy to results-driven execution.


Our sweet spot is growth-stage businesses, or teams within larger companies driving new launches and growth. Founders, heads of business, and marketing managers all hire us for the same reason: marketing needs to happen properly, but a full-time hire is too early, too narrow, or too soon.

We’ve done deep work across:
🎓 Education and training
🏢 Property and retail launches
🎉 Food Festivals, sports, real estate anniversaries
🛍️ DTC consumer and FMCG
💻 Tech, telco, fintech
🌱 Social impact

Our Story

OtterHalf was born after our founder, Cassandra (Cass), was retrenched at the height of the tech layoffs in 2023.

Alongside two trusted ex-colleagues (and our beloved mascot Ottie!), she created OtterHalf, a fractional marketing agency that provides businesses with an experienced part-time marketing team without the full-time cost.

The early days were tough. But within a year, OtterHalf became sustainable and revenue-generating, proving that small teams can do big things. To date, we’ve grown to a team of 14 across 5 countries and worked with 30+ clients across property, retail, education, food, tech, FMCG and social impact.

We’re united by the belief that businesses have the power to contribute to a better world. And it all starts with making great marketing accessible.

Now, we even teach marketing!

Nothing’s off limits for OtterHalf’s next chapter. As an agency, we always let our whiskers lead the way.

It all started with an experimental card game, which we designed to explain marketing to our founder’s kids. Thus, Ottie’s Fishy Business was born. Once launched, the card game sold across Singapore with minimal promotion — clocking 100+ copies in 3 months!

Energised by the success, we took a leap into childhood education by designing and launching a workshop for kids to learn all about marketing: Ottie’s Splash & Sell Marketing Workshop, a hands-on session where kids learn the fundamentals of marketing through play, creativity, and real-world thinking.

Next, we’re planning to launch a sales workshop and a virtual mall experience where kids can apply the marketing and sales tactics they’ve learnt in a fun, interactive and guided environment.

Our Otter Space

After two years of working together over Zoom calls, we got the keys to our first Pearl’s Hill Terrace office at 195 Pearl’s Hill Terrace, #03-49, in January 2026.

Finally, a home that’s otterly ours.

On weekdays, it’s OtterHalf HQ. On weekends, it’s where we host educational marketing workshops for kids aged 7-12.

What’s next? Over time, we hope to build a community space where marketers share ideas, children become mini marketers, and new partnerships begin

FAQs on our Fractional Marketing Services

  • Save money. The average monthly cost of hiring a full-time VP of Marketing is at least S$12,000, excluding benefits, and they may also not be utilised at 100% capacity. S$12,000 is 3X that of what you would pay if you engage a VP of Marketing on a fractional basis. The savings are way more significant if you engage our marketing team on a fractional basis, compared to hiring a full-time marketing team in-house.

    Move fast. Comparing the time required to hire and train a suitable VP of Marketing or marketing team, which can take up to a year, we can get things started 20 times faster than in-house hiring.

    Stay nimble. With the monthly plan, you can pause and resume our services as often as you need to ensure you’re only paying for marketers when you have work available for them.

  • We’ve got a warm group of retainer clients who come back to us, month after month, because of our good work. Our most recent retainer clients include Airalo (eSIM), Kopifellas (F&B), SIM Academy (private education), Good Shepherd Preschool, Spree (livecommerce platform), Better Things (community tech), and GoTechUp. We do work across launches, brands, partnerships, performance and content, tailored to your monthly priorities.

    Most retainer agreements run from 6 to 12 months before renewal.

  • We can tailor our support to your business needs, but these are the 3 most common ways that businesses engage us:

    (1) Strategy Sprint — a 3 to 4 week deep-dive when you need clarity before launching, expanding or pushing for growth. Billed per sprint.

    (2) Launch Campaign — a 2 to 3 month end-to-end campaign for products or brands being launched, relaunched or pushed regionally. Billed by project. 

    (3) Fractional Marketing Team — an ongoing retainer on a credit plan, which can be used for various marketing needs across social media, email marketing, branding, strategy, and more. Billed monthly with a minimum commitment of 6 months. Our most popular offer.

  • You’ll have our entire team’s support, but you will only need to speak to two people. Cassandra (our Founder/CEO with 14+ years marketing experience) leads strategy and senior calls, and you’ll be assigned an account manager as your day-to-day point of contact.

    Behind them sits our senior execution team: two designers, three content and social media strategists, one multimedia specialist, two performance marketers, a partnerships lead, an influencer specialist and a researcher. Most of the team has 5 to 12 years of experience.

  • We work on a credits-based model for each of the fractional marketing services, whether it’s "Hire a VP Marketing” or "Hire a marketing team”. There is a fixed credits system we have for each fractional service, and credits would be deducted based on output.

  • For fractional marketing services, we work on a credit system where you will know the number of credits you get, and how much credits would be deducted per deliverable during the engagement period. This would be made transparent to you during the quotation stage.

  • On average, for strategy work, we will get back in 5-10 working days. For execution work, requests are completed in 3-5 working days or less. However, more complex requests can take longer.

  • Credits not used for that month can be carried forward for one month.

  • We take pride in the high quality of our work. No refunds will be issued once work has commenced. However, we value your satisfaction, and if you have concerns about the service, please let us know, and we will work with you to address them.

  • Yes, but all visits are by appointment only. We’re at 195 Pearl’s Hill Terrace, #03-49, Singapore 168976 (Tue–Thu, 10am–6pm). Drop us a Whatsapp message at +65 96317654 to book a time.

  • We run Ottie’s Splash & Sell Workshop, a weekend marketing workshop designed for kids aged 7-12. Using our card game Ottie’s Fishy Business, we teach kids simple marketing ideas (word of mouth, social media, branding) and campaigns (events, promotions, livestreaming, and more). The workshop includes hands-on mini challenges, healthy interaction with other kids, and short pitches aimed at improving your child’s confidence. No prior experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to play. Find more information here.

  • Our 2-hour workshops run on selected weekends (Sat/Sun), with two possible time slots: 10am-12pm or 2pm-4pm. Sessions may be added or removed depending on take-up rate, so do indicate your interest early. Check the latest schedule here.
