What is a Fractional CMO?

What is a
Fractional CMO?

Fractionals are a growing category of executives, born out of the need of many organisations around the world who are crying out for more expertise to support their immediate business growth.

Different to a contractor, a Fractional is fully-integrated into your business and typically commits a certain amount of hours or days to your company each month. Just like you, we also want to be invested in your team and your business.

Availability and commitment is really between you and the Fractional you hire. You can tailor the relationship to your specific needs, whether short-term or long-term.

Start-ups and fast-scaling businesses love Fractionals. They can help them grow even faster, and bring with them all the learnings they have from previous engagements. They know what works and what doesn’t, and help your business avoid all of those same super expensive and time-consuming mistakes.

Perks:

  • Fractional cost. Get the deep and broad skills and talents of a highly experienced CMO to solve your immediate business needs and challenges without paying for a full-time hire.
  • Masters of everything. Fractionals are usually ‘swiss army knife’ -types, and there’s not much they haven’t seen or done at a mastery level.
  • Reduced onboarding time. Fractionals are very good at context-switching, which means they’re super quick and easy to start working with. An experienced Fractional will click into your teams and business super seamlessly.
  • Flexible commitment. Reduce your fixed costs with flexible commitments, only pay for what you need or use within your Fractional agreement.
