What is a fractional CMO?
A Fractional CMO (also a Remote Fractional CMO, Part-time CMO, or CMO as a Service, as we use to call it) is a professional service where businesses can access the expertise of a seasoned CMO without the commitment of a full-time position. Fractional CMO works remotely and with several clients.
This model allows companies, especially small to medium-sized businesses, to leverage the strategic insights and experiences of a CMO on a part-time or temporary basis.

Why choose a fractional CMO?
Cost-effective solution
Hiring a full-time CMO can be a significant financial investment. A Fractional CMO, on the other hand, offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness, allowing businesses to manage their budgets more efficiently while still obtaining high-level marketing expertise.
Access to expertise
Fractional CMO brings a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective, having worked across various industries and markets. This diversity in experience can be invaluable in crafting unique and effective marketing strategies tailored to your business needs.
Scalability
As your business grows, your marketing needs will evolve. A Fractional CMO can scale their services to match the pace and size of your business, ensuring that your marketing strategies align with your current objectives and resources.
Focus on core business functions
With a Fractional CMO handling your marketing strategy and execution, you and your team can focus more on core business functions. This division of labor can lead to increased productivity and allows for more efficient use of internal resources.
