Why hire a fractional CMO?
What can a fractional CMO do for your startup?
Building on previous leadership experience, a fractional CMO will quickly diagnose your marketing landscape, develop a clear strategy and put an actionable plan in place to roll this out. They will show you where and how to allocate your resources in order to meet your marketing objectives.
What are the benefits of hiring a fractional CMO?
A fractional CMO will bring the knowledge and expertise needed to steer your startup to success. Gain a vital competitive advantage without the financial commitment of a full-time employee. Hire flexibly, see quick results and benefit from your fractional CMO’s experience.
When should you consider hiring a fractional CMO?
For many startups we work with, a fractional CMO is the foundational marketing hire. If your founding team has taken your marketing efforts as far as they can, it might be the right time to bring in a fractional expert to unlock growth and funding. They’ll help you to move beyond fragmented tactics towards a cohesive and actionable strategy.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between an interim and fractional CMO?
An interim CMO works full-time with companies on a short-term basis to bridge a gap between hires, or covering a period of leave. Whereas a fractional CMO is hired on a part-time contract, usually for an on-going period of time, offering strategic marketing direction.
Should we hire a fractional or full-time CMO?
It depends where you are as a business. Fractional CMOs are ideal for startups and scaleups because they offer senior experience without the long-term commitment or cost.
If you need strategic marketing support but aren’t ready (and can’t afford) to bring in a full-time CMO, we recommend looking for fractional support. On the other hand, if you’re more established and need a leader whose entire focus will be on your brand, you might want to consider looking for a full-time CMO.
