Why Choose Our Fractional CMO Services?

We Provide Senior Executive Marketing Expertise Without Full-Time Executive Costs

Full-time CMOs command $200,000-$400,000+ annually plus equity, benefits, and overhead. Our fractional CMO services provide the same caliber of strategic marketing leadership for a fraction of the cost, typically $8,000-$20,000 monthly. You get experienced executive guidance when you need it without paying for full-time overhead when you don’t. This makes world-class marketing leadership accessible to growing companies that can’t yet justify or afford a full-time CMO.

We Bring Immediate Expertise From Working Across Multiple Companies and Industries

Full-time CMOs bring experience from their previous companies. Fractional CMOs bring current, active experience from working with multiple clients simultaneously across industries, business models, and growth stages. We see what’s working now across different contexts, identify best practices that transfer between industries, avoid mistakes we’ve seen others make, and bring fresh perspectives unburdened by internal politics. This breadth of active experience means faster time to impact.

We Focus on Strategy and Execution, Not Just Advice and Consultation

We Integrate Seamlessly as Part of Your Executive Team

Targeted Market Positioning

We don’t function as external consultants. We operate as your marketing executive attending leadership meetings and providing strategic input, collaborating with sales, product, and other departments, reporting directly to CEO or board, making hiring, budget, and strategic decisions, representing marketing in planning and forecasting, and building marketing function for long-term success. We integrate fully as your marketing leader, just without the full-time commitment.

We Build Marketing Functions That Scale Beyond Our Engagement

Our goal isn’t creating dependency but building sustainable marketing capabilities. We hire and develop talented team members, establish processes and systems, implement scalable technology, document strategies and playbooks, train team to execute independently, and plan transitions as you scale. Many clients eventually hire full-time CMOs, and we help recruit and transition to ensure continuity. We measure success by building marketing capabilities that outlast our direct involvement.

We Bring Specialized Expertise in Growth Marketing for Startups and Scale-Ups

Many traditional CMOs focus on brand and awareness without deep growth marketing expertise. We specialize in growth marketing for startups and scale-ups including data-driven acquisition across paid and organic channels, conversion optimization throughout the funnel, customer lifecycle marketing and retention, analytics and measurement infrastructure, rapid experimentation and testing, and product-led growth strategies. This specialized expertise is particularly valuable for VC-backed companies focused on efficient growth.

We Adapt Our Level of Involvement Based on Your Needs and Stage

Fractional engagements aren’t one-size-fits-all. We adapt our involvement through strategic advisory only for companies with strong teams needing guidance, hands-on leadership for companies building or rebuilding marketing, intensive involvement during critical periods like fundraising or launches, and gradual reduction as your team matures and gains capability. Flexible engagement models ensure you get the right level of support as your needs evolve.

The Businesses That Trusted Our Expertise and Scaled

Our Process

Step 1

Initial Assessment and Current State Analysis

We begin every fractional CMO engagement by thoroughly understanding your business and marketing situation. We review your business model, growth goals, and competitive positioning, assess current marketing performance and challenges, evaluate marketing team capabilities and gaps, analyze marketing technology stack and data, review customer acquisition costs and unit economics, and benchmark against industry standards. This assessment reveals opportunities, priorities, and quick wins.

Step 2

Marketing Strategy Development

We develop comprehensive marketing strategies aligned with business goals. Strategy includes target market definition and ideal customer profiles, positioning and messaging framework, channel strategy and marketing mix, customer acquisition strategy and tactics, lifecycle marketing and retention strategy, budget allocation and resource planning, key performance indicators and goals, and 90-day execution roadmap. Strategic foundation ensures all marketing activity works toward clear business objectives.

Step 3

Marketing Team Building and Development

We build or optimize your marketing team for success. Team development includes assessing current team capabilities and gaps, recruiting key marketing roles, onboarding and training new team members, developing career paths and retention strategies, establishing team structure and roles, implementing performance management, and building culture of experimentation and data-driven decision making. Strong teams are critical for sustainable marketing success.

Step 4

Marketing Technology and Infrastructure Setup

We implement technology and systems that enable scalable marketing. Infrastructure includes selecting and implementing marketing automation platforms, establishing analytics and attribution systems, implementing CRM integration, setting up advertising and testing tools, creating reporting dashboards, establishing documentation systems, and implementing project management tools. Proper infrastructure enables efficient execution and measurement.

Step 5

Channel Strategy Development and Execution

We develop and execute strategies across appropriate marketing channels. Channel development includes paid advertising strategy and management, SEO and content marketing programs, email marketing and automation, social media marketing, partnership and affiliate strategies, event and webinar programs, and public relations and thought leadership. We prioritize channels based on your business model, audience, and stage.

Step 6

Conversion Optimization and Funnel Management

We optimize the complete customer journey for maximum conversion. Optimization includes analyzing and improving website conversion rates, optimizing landing pages for campaigns, streamlining signup and onboarding flows, reducing friction in purchase process, implementing lead scoring and qualification, coordinating marketing and sales handoffs, and measuring and improving conversion at each stage. Systematic optimization dramatically improves marketing efficiency.

Step 7

Analytics, Measurement, and Reporting

We establish rigorous measurement and reporting systems. Analytics includes defining and tracking key performance indicators, implementing proper attribution modeling, creating executive dashboards, developing regular reporting cadence, calculating customer acquisition costs and lifetime value, measuring marketing’s impact on pipeline and revenue, and analyzing cohort performance and trends. Data-driven decision making ensures resources flow to highest-ROI activities.

Step 8

Strategic Planning and Cross-Functional Alignment

We ensure marketing aligns with and supports broader business strategy. Strategic alignment includes participating in executive planning and decision making, aligning marketing with sales priorities and processes, coordinating with product on launches and positioning, collaborating with customer success on retention, providing input on pricing and packaging, supporting fundraising and investor relations, and ensuring marketing supports revenue and growth goals. Tight alignment ensures marketing drives business outcomes.

Step 9

Performance Monitoring and Strategy Refinement

We continuously monitor performance and refine strategy. Ongoing management includes weekly review of key metrics and performance, monthly deep dives into channel performance, quarterly strategic reviews and planning, rapid response to underperformance, testing new channels and tactics, scaling what works and cutting what doesn’t, and adapting to market changes and opportunities. Active management ensures continuous improvement and optimal resource allocation.

Step 10

Transition Planning and Knowledge Transfer

We plan for eventual transition to full-time leadership or increased internal capability. Transition includes documenting strategies, processes, and playbooks, training team members to execute independently, recruiting and onboarding full-time CMO when appropriate, transitioning responsibilities gradually, remaining available for consultation during transition, and ensuring continuity and continued success. Successful transition to sustainable internal capability is ultimate measure of success.
