What is a Fractional CMO?
A full-time CMO can cost up to $200,000/year, plus benefits.
This can be very expensive for a lot of SaaS startups and SMBs. That's where a Fractional CMO comes in! A Fractional CMO is a senior marketing leader who looks after your marketing at the fraction of the cost of a full-time CMO.
Unlike a full-time CMO, a Fractional CMO is available to you for a certain amount of hours every month, where they build your marketing strategy and lead your marketing team in the implementation of that strategy to help you achieve your marketing goals.
Who needs a Fractional CMO?
A Fractional CMO is ideal if you have a small marketing team executing tactics on a day-to-day basis, but you lack the marketing leadership to guide and manage them.
Managing this team takes up a lot of your time and you wish you could have somebody to take that burden off you. However, you don't have the budget for hiring a full-time CMO, or maybe you need the skills and experience of a CMO but you don't need them for 40 hours a week.
Either way, a fractional CMO will be a great investment as they can work with your leadership team and your in-house staff to help you drive better business results.
3 Signs that you need a Fractional CMO
You are executing marketing without a strategy/plan and you or your team doesn't have the expertise in building a strategy
You have a marketing team but not the time to manage it. You need a marketing leader but don't have the budget to hire a full-time CMO
You're struggling to get the results you want from your marketing. You feel you're wasting money but you don't know how to fix it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do we get started with this?
Just book a consultation call with us here. We'll discuss your needs and send you a customized proposal.
How many hours will we get from your fractional CMO every month?
We offer multiple packages - starting from 20 hours/month depending on your needs and budget.
What will be the scope of your engagement?
The exact scope of the fractional CMO engagement depends on the specific needs of your business and your budget. But our pricing packages mentioned above will give you a sense of what to expect.
Will the fractional CMO replace our marketing team?
No. The fractional CMO will work with your existing resources and lead your marketing team.
What if we work with an agency and do not have an in-house marketing team?
That's fine. The fractional CMO can work with the agency you've hired, as long as they agree to let us manage the resources they have assigned to you.
Do we need to train the fractional CMO?
The fractional CMO needs to understand your business and your products/services in order to be able to plan a custom strategy and lead its execution. So yes, there will be some degree of training you'll need to provide, as you would to any new hires. We will schedule sessions with you and relevant members of your team for this purpose.
How long can we hire the fractional CMO for?
For as long as you like! The fractional CMO is an ongoing engagement, and we are happy to work with you as long as we both see the value in the relationship. But given the fact that good marketing takes time to produce results, we recommend our clients to hire us for at least 6 months.
