Fractional CMO

Marketing leadership for positioning, brand and pipeline.

A fractional CMO gives you experienced marketing leadership part-time: someone who has built positioning, teams and demand generation before, and knows what to leave out.

Typical mandates: sharpening positioning and messaging, building a repeatable demand engine, aligning marketing with sales and coaching an existing team.

When it makes sense

  • Marketing is a collection of activities without a strategy holding it together.
  • You are entering a new market or launching a new product, and the story is not landing.
  • There is a marketing team, but nobody senior enough to lead and prioritise it.
  • Pipeline depends entirely on the founders' network and referrals.

Typical problems solved

  • Unclear positioning and messaging
  • No repeatable lead and demand generation
  • Marketing and sales pulling in different directions
  • A junior marketing team without senior leadership
  • Marketing budget without measurable outcomes

What a mandate looks like

Fractional CMO mandates typically combine strategy work with hands-on leadership of the existing team, often one to two days per week, with a clear focus for the first quarter.
