Fractional CMO

A Senior Marketing Partner. In the Seat. Monthly.

Fractional CMO is what happens when project work isn't enough. When your business needs ongoing marketing leadership — strategy, execution, judgment, ownership of the marketing function — embedded into how you operate.

You get a senior partner thinking about your marketing every month, the same way a full-time CMO would. Without the full-time salary, the benefits, or the management overhead.

What Fractional CMO MeansThe seat, filled

A fractional CMO is a senior marketing leader embedded in your business, part-time. You get the strategic thinking, the ownership of decisions, the senior judgment that comes with twenty-five years in marketing. Monthly retainer, ongoing relationship, the seat filled — at the right scale for your business.

What a Fractional CMO Retainer Actually Covers.

Every retainer is shaped to the business. Some clients need more strategy, some need more execution. Some need both, plus coaching woven in. Here's what most retainers include.

How it works

In Practice

01 — Ongoing, Not Once

Most retainers run for a year or more. The first month is often heavier — building the strategic foundation and getting aligned on priorities. After that, the rhythm settles into monthly strategy plus active execution.

02 — One Relationship, Full Context

You work with me directly. The same person on your strategy call is the same person reviewing your sales materials and sitting with you on the harder calls. The same brain, the same context, every time.

03 — Built for the Long Arc

Fractional CMO clients aren't projects. They're long-term partnerships. Over time, I get to know the business deeply — your team, your clients, your patterns. Year two is more valuable than year one, and year three more than year two.
