A Clear Guide for Founders & CEOs
If marketing feels busy but results are unclear, you’re likely missing senior marketing leadership—not more execution.
A Fractional CMO gives you C-level direction, structure, and accountability without hiring full-time.
The 5 Signals It’s Time
1) Activity without strategy
Channels are running, but there’s no single roadmap tying them to revenue.
2) Growth has plateaued
CAC is rising, decisions are reactive, and performance isn’t predictable.
3) The founder is the marketing manager
Your time is being drained by reviews, agencies, and tools.
4) Agencies execute—but don’t lead
You’re paying for activity, not outcomes.
5) A full-time CMO feels premature
You need leadership now, not long-term overhead.
What a Fractional CMO Actually Delivers
Clear positioning & go-to-market direction
Channel priorities, budgets, and KPIs

Measurable ROI and decision clarity
