What a Fractional CMO Actually Delivers

You don’t need more marketing activity.

You need senior direction that brings clarity, focus, and measurable results.

Najem Antonios

Founder & Fractional CMO

Need To Talk provides fractional CMO services in Dubai for founders and leadership teams who need experienced marketing leadership — without the cost or commitment of a full-time CMO.

We step in to define the right strategy, fix fragmented budgets, align channels, and establish clear KPIs that leadership can actually track and trust.

Instead of managing campaigns or execution teams, we focus on decision-making, priorities, and performance — acting as your embedded marketing advisor at a boardroom level.

“You get clarity on what to do, what to stop, and where growth will realistically come from.”
