What is a Fractional CMO?

A fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) works with multiple organizations on a part-time basis to help them build and lead the marketing discipline.

This allows businesses to tap into the expertise of a seasoned marketing professional without the commitment and cost associated with a full-time executive.

YOU MIGHT BENEFIT FROM OUR FACTIONAL CMO SERVICE IF:

 

• You lack internal marketing expertise

•  Do not have clear marketing goals or strategies

• Your marketing campaigns have been inconsistent or ineffective

• You need a fresh perspective

•  Have limited budget for a full-time CMO
