Fractional CMO

Your CMO, a few days a month.

Some companies are ready for a marketing leader before they are ready for a full-time one. As your fractional CMO I take that seat on a fixed number of days each month: I set the direction, run the plan with your team or agencies, and report the few numbers that show progress. When the brand or the website needs work, I build them too.

What a fractional CMO does

Senior judgment, a few days at a time.

A fractional CMO is a senior marketing leader who works for your company part time, on a fixed number of days each month. The role is the same as a full-time chief marketing officer: decide where to compete, set the plan, lead the people who carry it out and answer for the results.

Direction

Where to compete, for whom, and what to say so the right buyers recognize you.

A plan the team follows

Twelve months of priorities with owners, dates, budget and the few numbers that matter.

Leadership

Your team and your agencies working on the same plan, reviewed every month.

Who it is for

For companies ready for a marketing leader.

Founder-led companies

The founder still runs marketing between everything else and wants a senior partner to take it over.

Teams ready for a lead

A marketing assistant, an agency or two, and the need for one person to set the priorities.

Companies crossing markets

A new country or a new language, between Europe and Latin America in particular.

The first 90 days

Listen, decide, deliver. Then the monthly rhythm.

  1. 01Days 1 to 30

    Listen

    Conversations with you, your team and a few customers, and a close look at your numbers, channels and materials.

  2. 02Days 31 to 60

    Decide

    Positioning, audiences, messages and a twelve-month plan with owners, dates and budget.

  3. 03Days 61 to 90

    Deliver

    The first campaigns and the changes that matter most, on the brand, the website or both.

  4. 04Every month after

    Run and review

    One page of results and priorities each month, and adjustments as the market moves.

Questions the first 30 days answer

  • Which customers bring the most value, and how do they decide?
  • Where does the company win today, and where is it losing ground?
  • Which channels earn their budget, and which only look busy?
  • What should the brand and the website say that they do not say yet?

Each month

What the role includes.

  • A fixed number of days, agreed in writing before we start
  • Leadership of your marketing plan, your team and your agencies
  • A one-page review of results and priorities
  • Direct access, with no account layer
