You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.
A Fractional CMO is a senior marketing executive who works with your business part-time or on a contract basis — providing C-level strategic leadership and hands-on execution without the full-time salary and equity cost.
Consultants advise. A Fractional CMO leads. They’re embedded in your team, own the marketing function, manage your team, and are accountable for results — not just recommendations.
Typically 8–20 hours per week depending on your needs and growth stage. We structure the engagement around your specific requirements, not a rigid template.
When you have marketing budget to deploy but lack the senior leadership to deploy it strategically. Common triggers: $1M+ revenue, raising a funding round, entering a new market, or a marketing team without clear direction.
Typically 1–2 weeks from engagement to active leadership. The first 30 days are an intensive discovery and strategy build phase.
