Why marketing leaders choose Fractionus

Vetted leaders only. We shortlist experienced CMOs who’ve already scaled businesses like yours.

  1. Fast start. Typical kickoff in days, not months.

What is a Fractional CMO?

A fractional CMO is a senior marketing leader who partners with your exec team part‑time to own strategy, lead execution through your internal/partner resources, and be accountable for growth outcomes (not busywork). They bring the same leadership you’d expect from a full‑time CMO—roadmap, org design, metrics, budget stewardship—on a flexible, capital‑efficient basis

Where they go deep

  • Go‑to‑market & positioning

  • Demand gen & pipeline architecture (incl. sales/CS alignment)

  • Product marketing & pricing/packaging

  • Brand narrative & comms

  • Marketing ops, analytics, and hiring your first key marketers/agency mix

When to hire a fractional CMO

You’re at/near product‑market fit, but growth is lumpy and you need a real GTM plan.

  • You’re scaling and need senior leadership to design the engine (and mentor your team) before committing to a full‑time C‑suite hire.

  • You’re between CMOs and want continuity that’s more strategic than a short‑term “interim.” (Interim = hold the fort; Fractional = architect the system and lead it over time.)

Hire your Fractional CMO today. No recruiters. No bloated agencies. Just vetted, top-tier talent.

What does engagement look like?

Most companies start 1–2 days per week for the first 90 days to build the plan, then adjust as the engine hums. Common formats: retained days, sprint blocks, or outcome‑based scopes.

90‑Day deliverables typically include

  • Diagnostic & growth model

  • Messaging/positioning + sales narrative

  • Channel strategy & pipeline targets

  • Budget, resourcing & agency plan

  • KPI tree, dashboard, and operating cadence

Why the fractional model is surging?

“Fractional” leadership has exploded as companies optimise for speed, flexibility, and capex - think try‑before‑you‑buy senior talent, with outcome focus and cross‑industry pattern recognition. Industry reporting and platform data show sharp growth in fractional executive roles since 2022.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about working with a CMO through Fractionus

What’s the difference between an interim CMO and a fractional CMO?

Interim fills a full‑time seat temporarily to maintain continuity. Fractional is part‑time by design — focused on architecting the system, setting strategy, and leading execution over a longer horizon without adding a permanent FTE.

How quickly can we start?

Most clients meet shortlists within a week and kick off within days after selection (scope dependent).

Will they manage agencies and hire our team?

Yes—fractional CMOs typically own the org plan, agency mix, and first key marketing hires, and set the cadence that keeps everyone rowing in the same direction.

What if we outgrow the model?

Great. Your fractional CMO can help hire/transition a full‑time leader and leave a mature GTM engine behind. Or if they fit the role, can transition into that position themselves.
