Hire Expert Fractional CMO Services | Review Metrics & Drive Sales

If you’re at a critical point in your business where you need to grow, hiring a fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) provides you with the insights and security that an experienced executive can bring while reducing your financial burden.

Drawing on years of expertise in your industry, your CMO can identify the right marketing strategy for your organization, develop your marketing systems and plan, ensure the right team members are onboard to achieve your desired outcomes, and review your metrics to be sure the team and tactics are driving sales.

Why Hire a Fractional CMO Over an Internal Team Member?

Especially for technology innovators, that need to focus resources on engineering, research, and product development, a CMO may be out of the budget but also necessary to take your company to the next level.

The team that got you to where you are now may or may not be the team you need to get to the next level. Even if you have a top-notch marketing team now, in order to grow from here, you need someone who understands what it takes and can give you insights and strategy for getting there. A fractional CMO can assume a seat at the table without the expenses that go along with bringing on a new executive team member.

With a fractional CMO, you can devote the rest of that budget to ensuring your in-house team has the tactical skills to deliver on the strategy. Alternately, your CMO may have a team of individuals with different skill sets who can execute as a virtual marketing organization (VMO) for a lower investment than hiring a full internal marketing team, let alone vetting them.
