FAQ
(01)What is a fractional CMO?
A senior marketing leader engaged part-time, usually a set number of days each month. You get strategy, channel planning and oversight of whoever executes, without the cost of a full-time executive hire.
(02)What does a fractional CMO actually do?
Sets the strategy, decides where budget goes, and holds whoever executes to account, whether that is your in house team or an agency. Senior direction without a senior salary.
(03)How is this different from your other services?
On the other services we do the work. Here we direct it. Some clients use consulting to get a plan and then run it themselves.
(04)How much of your time do we get?
Typically a fixed number of days a month, agreed up front, plus availability between sessions. We will tell you if the scope needs more than you are buying.
(05)Will you manage our existing agency?
Yes, and that is a common reason clients start. We audit what they are doing, set the targets, and review performance against them.
(06)What is the minimum commitment?
Three months. Less than that and you get a strategy with nobody left to make sure it happens.
