A fractional CMO is a part-time Chief Marketing Officer, responsible for leading the marketing strategy and brand storytelling.
Startup use fractional CMO services because they do not need a full-time CMO but still require expert strategy and leadership and often enjoy the flexibility a fractional CMO provides.
The CMO role has drastically changed in the last 25 years. D2C distribution, e-commerce, splintering media, and widening responsibilities like revenue, performance marketing, content, and customer experience have re-defined the skills required for the job.
Start/scale-ups today often overlook or undervalue a fundamental, critical role of an effective CMO: competitive strategy and brand storytelling. And the business suffers because of this.
Don’t rely on inexperienced marketers to dictate your business’s overall marketing strategy.
