What is a fractional CMO?
A fractional Chief Marketing Officer works as part-time marketing leader, heading all marketing initiatives & teams and providing strategic guidance and leadership for growth.
Catering to a company’s need for a chief marketing officer on a part-time basis, the fractional CMO brings years of experience and valuable strategic, operational and leadership expertise. A fractional hire allows companies to access top-tier skills & know-how with a high degree of flexibility and significant cost-savings.
Why hire a fractional CMO?
Fractional hiring is a game-changer for start-ups but the advantages of having a fractional CMO on board, ring well beyond the startup landscape for the obvious reason: it saves businesses money (administrative and HR related) while securing first-rate skills and expertise. All of it, bound in a flexible and mutually beneficial contractual framework.
Who needs a fractional CMO?
1) Start-ups and small businesses who could benefit from top-tier marketing expertise but cannot afford full-time staff.
2) Companies who are in a transitional stage of growth and lack experienced marketing leadership.
3) Marketing teams who struggle to create synergies across online and offline channels and need strategic marketing guidance.
4) Larger companies who need to improve the results of specific marketing projects without making an additional hire.
Advantages of having a fractional CMO on board
-
THE option to secure top-level marketing expertise without committing to a full-time person in this role, nor paying the C-level price tag. The high barrier of a FTE is by-passed without having to trade-off on the experience needed in the team.
-
As a difference to a freelance or a contractor, a fractional CMO is deep-seated in the team and drives the strategic decisions from within the company. At the same time, the part-time assignment leaves space for keeping a fresh perspective while avoiding “brand-wash” / “we always did it this way” trap.
-
A fractional CMO has an ongoing relationship with the company, being deeply integrated in the team and engaged for the long term. Such set-up allows for easy adjustment of the agreement based on the evolution of the business.
