How The Fractional CMO Model Gives Leaders An Edge

Leaders need an edge—a position giving them an advantage over their competitors differentiates their organization from others and helps them achieve greater success.

Greater success because they have an organization with strategies and tactics that differ from the competition and aren’t relying solely on in-house abilities, marketing tips of the day, or the same tactics used by everyone else.

And they want success. Not for bragging rights, although this can certainly be a driver, for the success that means—

  • Investing the efforts that get results
  • Validation of their strategy Goals are met 
  • 100% confidence in their team
  • Less time frustrated with lackluster results
  • Recognition and validation of their leadership are recognized.

Having a confident edge gives leaders the breathing room to think, plan, dream and build the future they envision for their organization.  

What is a Fractional CMO?

A Fractional CMO is an executive leader with decades of marketing experience consistently showing successful results. The term “fractional” doesn’t mean ‘part-time’. The term refers to the finite period they are focused on the client’s specific outcomes.

A Fractional CMO is positioned in a leadership role within an organization. They bring their skills and expertise and, like others on the leadership team, are responsible for the implementation and outcome.

Unlike consultants who are frequently hired to assess the situation and organization, develop plans, direct leaders on performance, and rely on the client’s team to “take it from there,” Fractional CMOs ensure that every one required for the success of the plan stays on track and on strategy.

As a result, teams are aligned, morale is high, the strategy supports accomplished goals, resources are allocated appropriately, and this is more confidence in the leadership. 

If company leaders are experiencing less-than-expected results, a consultant who gives them a report and leaves before implementation rarely produces the change needed.

Unlike consultants, Fractional CMOs bring the diverse skills and expertise required with a hyper-focus on finding, connecting, and speaking to audiences required for the success of the plan

Fractional CMOs are hands-on leaders who partner with CEOs to make the necessary strategic assessments and lead the teams within their client partners to implement the strategies and are focused on driving g the desired results.
