Fractional CMO

“Every business needs a marketing leader; not every business needs one in-house full-time.”

Our Fractional CMO Services place an executive-level marketer in your company to lead the strategy, implementation, and growth of your revenue pipeline.

Companies we’ve helped
Strategy, Coaching, Full Funnel Work

An instant marketing team for B2B SaaS companies.

We provide structure to existing teams working without a solid plan, we will perform every role expected of a Chief Marketing Officer on a part-time basis. This includes evolving your current company positioning, developing a full-funnel program built around the revenue KPIs that matter, hiring new resources, and building marketing systems that scale.

This is not a short-term solution. We can only be effective at driving growth when we deeply embed ourselves in an organization and learn what makes it tick, which is why our minimum engagement is 12 months. However, our end goal is to get you to a position where you see value in hiring a full-time CMO and assisting with the transition.

Who Is It For?

Founders of B2B companies or Investors

How Does It Work?

We run our Fractional CMO Services across three general stages:

We Run an Audit

First, we need to understand exactly what is going on so we can identify what needs to be done.

Every engagement starts with our 30-Day Marketing Audit, an in-depth process that examines the entire existing function – from GTM to infrastructure to people – and produces a set of actionable recommendations on how to move forward.

Craft a Plan

Next, we develop a detailed 12-month Marketing Plan against your company’s commercial targets, including direction on the infrastructure you need to be successful, how to evolve your positioning to resonate with target customers, and what channels to activate and how.

We also provide recommendations around the resources you need in place for successful delivery, how much it will cost, and manage the recruitment process.

The magic starts

No strategy should stay still – it evolves with insights captured in the field. We work against a sprint model based on experimentation, analysis, and iteration that ensures the project is delivering results and minimizes wasted spending.

Each month, we set targets with you before planning and executing a full-funnel campaign. You receive weekly summaries on progress and a monthly post-mortem on what we have learned.

Executive-level Oversight of Marketing Strategy

No marketing function should operate in a silo. We work holistically with every leader across your business from sales to product to engineering to align our strategy with the wider company.
