Fractional Chief Marketing Officer
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
