Project Management Consulting
You built something beautiful. It shouldn't feel this chaotic.
When your project is over budget, your team isn't aligned, and your client is losing confidence — you don't need more hustle. You need a guide who's been here before.
THE PROBLEMYou're working hard and still not hitting the mark
Chaos without a map
Roles are unclear, priorities shift daily, and no one is sure who owns what — or what comes next.
Budget bleeding out
Budget bleeding out Deadlines weren't agreed on, expectations weren't set clearly, and costs keep climbing past the number you promised.
Your client feels it too
They're anxious, misunderstood, and losing trust — not because your work is bad, but because they can't see what's happening.
Left unaddressed, this doesn't just hurt the project. It leads to lost revenue, broken client relationships, a team that won't stay — and questions about whether the business can survive it.
Your guideI understand where you are — because I've guided teams through it at every scale
I'm Fred Kluth. For 10+ years I've led complex projects through agencies, enterprise organizations, and nonprofits — including an $18M program across 19 countries and a website launch that helped a client secure a $1 million follow-on contract.
What I've learned is that chaos isn't a team problem — it's a communication and structure problem. When expectations are clear, roles are defined, and there's a trusted plan in place, teams deliver. Clients relax. Work gets done.
I know how to have the difficult conversations, set healthy expectations, and build the kind of trust between a team and a client that turns a stressful project into a career-defining one.

The planThree steps to a project your client brags about
You don't need 15 meetings and a 60-page roadmap to get started. Here's how we go from chaos to clarity.
1. Book a free 30-min call — Tell me what's happening — no judgment, no pitch. I'll listen and tell you honestly whether and how I can help. This call costs you nothing except 30 minutes.
2. Get a clear roadmap — I assess your project, team, and client relationship — then give you a prioritized plan with timelines, roles, and the conversations that need to happen. No more guessing what comes next.
3. Deliver work your client loves — Together we execute with structure, trust, and the kind of communication that makes clients feel confident, not anxious. The goal isn't just delivery. It's a relationship that earns the next contract.
The resultWhat success actually looks like
Your client isn't just satisfied — they're sending rave reviews and talking about the next engagement. Your team has a rhythm. You have a process you can repeat.
Recent client win
“Fred & team helped us deliver a critical website update ahead of Investor Day. The quality of the launch — on time, on point — directly contributed to securing a <strong>$1 million follow-on development contract. The client walked away with complete confidence in our team.
Your project deserves to get delivered
Don't let another deadline slip or another client relationship fray. One conversation can change the trajectory of your project — and your team.

Who this is for
Is this for you?
I work with a range of organizations — but the ones I help most share a common thread: good work that isn't getting delivered the way it should be.
Enterprise teams needing fractional PM
You have the talent and the resources — but no dedicated PM to pull it all together. You need senior-level structure without a full-time hire.
- Cross-functional initiatives with no clear owner
- Programs too complex for a coordinator
- Budget to deliver, no bandwidth to manage
Startups & scale-ups
You moved fast to get here. Now the cracks are showing — in your process, your team, and your client relationships. Growth needs structure.
- Process hasn't kept pace with headcount
- Everyone's doing everything, nothing's owned
- First big client is watching closely
Small agencies & creative studios
You're great at the work. Managing delivery is a different skill set — and right now it's costing you time, money, and client confidence.
- Scope creep on every engagement
- Timelines slipping without warning
- Clients feel out of the loop
Marketing & creative directors
You're accountable for delivery but don't control all the pieces. You need someone who can herd the cats and keep your reputation intact.
- Vendors, developers, and creatives not syncing
- Leadership asking for status updates you don't have
- Campaign or launch has a hard deadline
