A fractional CMO is a marketing executive who works for your company, but only a fraction of the time and salary of a traditional CMO. This gives your business the opportunity to level up with a lower investment. It's not a new concept - virtual CFOs have been around for decades, providing incredible value to companies where having a full-time chief financial officer would not make sense. At Chief Outsiders, we offer the same kind of value to your marketing department.
An ideal fractional CMO is an expert at working with the CEO and integrating himself into his leadership at the executive level, since he is trusted with the responsibility of working on high-level business objectives that are the basis of the company's objectives. One of the most effective ways a fractional CMO can help a company is if it lacks a strategic plan or visibility into marketing efforts. Forward-thinking companies that want to achieve sustainable, long-term growth can use a fractional CMO to guide them in their marketing transformation. A fractional CMO is perfect for short-term tasks, such as filling an unexpected CMO vacancy, quickly refocusing marketing efforts and accelerating growth, or hiring an executive advisor who can be your marketing eyes and ears.
Working with a fractional CMO may be the best solution for developing a marketing strategy that supports business growth. A company can benefit from a fractional CMO if it is faced with an unexpected CMO vacancy, if it needs to quickly refocus its marketing efforts and accelerate growth, or is simply looking for the right experience in a commitment of the right size. In addition, a fractional CMO can direct the organization and execution of a fractional marketing team to scale growth rapidly and increase the company's valuation in the exit horizon. By using a fractional CMO, you can benefit from the skills, experiences, and knowledge of a CMO right away, without the lengthy process of hiring a full-time CMO.
