Partnership
1. What does it mean to work with you as our Fractional CMO?
We step into your business as your executive-level marketing partner—not just to give direction, but to lead. Our role is to bring clarity, strategy, and structure to your brand so your marketing finally feels connected, intentional, and effective. You get the leadership of a CMO—without the full-time hire.
2. How is this different from working with an agency or consultant?
Most agencies focus on execution. Most consultants give advice.
We do both—but as part of your leadership team.
We build your marketing strategy, guide your team or partners, and make sure every campaign aligns with your growth goals. You’re not outsourcing tasks—you’re gaining a strategic partner who leads with you.
3. Who is this partnership designed for?
We work with founders, podcasters, and personal brands who’ve grown past DIY marketing and need a structured, scalable strategy. Most of our clients are generating $500K–$5M+ annually and are ready to step into full authority in their industry—without losing their authentic voice.
4. What do we actually do as your Fractional CMO?
We take ownership of your marketing direction and outcomes. That includes:
- Building a 90-day strategy and content roadmap
- Aligning your brand and messaging for consistency
- Leading your team or external vendors
- Setting performance metrics and tracking ROI
- Creating systems for visibility and authority that scale with you
You’ll have one clear plan, one clear leader, and one aligned message across everything you do.
5. How involved are we day-to-day?
We operate as your executive-level marketing lead, not a daily manager. You’ll see us in strategy meetings, team calls, and leadership discussions—keeping everyone focused on the goals. We stay high-level enough to lead, but close enough to ensure execution actually happens.
6. What if we don’t have a marketing team yet?
That’s okay. Many of our clients come to us before they’ve built their internal team. We’ll help you build or restructure your team, vet the right talent, and create repeatable workflows that save time and money. You’ll leave with a marketing department that runs like a system, not a guessing game.
7. How long do partnerships last?
Our Fractional CMO partnerships typically run 3–6 months at a time. That’s long enough to build strategy, systems, and momentum—but flexible enough to adjust as your business evolves. Some clients continue quarterly; others use this to establish structure and transition to internal leadership.
8. How does this differ from your Strategy Intensive?
Our Strategy Intensive is the foundation—an in-depth, one-day sprint where we build your marketing roadmap.
Our Fractional CMO partnership is the execution and leadership that follows. We don’t just build the plan—we lead your brand through it, refine as we go, and ensure it delivers results.
9. What kind of results can we expect?
You’ll see results in both data and direction. Our clients typically experience:
- Consistent, aligned brand presence
- Streamlined marketing operations
- More qualified leads and shorter sales cycles
- Stronger internal team performance
- Increased visibility, credibility, and inbound opportunities
10. How do we get started?
Start with a Fractional CMO Discovery Call. We’ll review your current marketing ecosystem, identify what’s working (and what’s not), and map out where strategic leadership can create immediate impact.
Your next level doesn’t need another marketing campaign. It needs leadership.
Book a Fractional CMO Strategy Call with our team to explore how strategic marketing leadership can amplify your brand and align your growth goals.
