What is a Fractional CMO?
A Fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) is a marketing executive who is contracted by a company to provide strategic marketing guidance on a part-time or project basis. Fractional CMOs are typically experienced marketing professionals who have held senior marketing positions in a variety of industries. They are hired to provide the expertise of a full-time CMO at a fraction of the cost.
Companies that engaged Fractional CMOs experienced an average revenue growth rate of 29% compared to 19% for those without.
