What is a fractional CMO?

A Fractional CMO is an experienced marketing leader who works with your business on a part-time or project basis, providing the strategic direction and senior expertise you need without employing a full-time CMO.

It’s particularly useful when you have a marketing team but need more senior direction, when you’re growing quickly, going through change, or when marketing has become too important to leave without a clear plan.

We can step in to assess where you are, identify what needs to happen and build a practical marketing plan around your business.

Then we help you deliver it.

Our outsourced fractional marketing director service provides strategic leadership and hands-on delivery without the cost of a full-time employee.

FAQs

What is a fractional CMO?
A fractional CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) is a senior marketing executive who works with a business on a part-time or retained basis, rather than as a full-time employee. This gives you access to experienced marketing leadership, strategic guidance, and hands-on delivery at a lower cost and with greater flexibility.
How can a fractional CMO help my business?
Brand Brown provides senior-level marketing leadership that steps in when it’s needed most. We shape your marketing strategy, refine your messaging, oversee campaigns, and ensure every activity supports your business objectives.  We deliver real results without the cost of a full-time hire.
Who is a fractional CMO right for?
Our service suits growing businesses, time-pressed organisations, or companies with an existing marketing team that needs senior direction. It’s ideal if you want expert leadership without a full-time commitment, or support through periods of change such as rebrands, acquisitions, or rapid growth.
How much does a fractional CMO cost?
Brand Brown works on a flexible retained basis, tailored to your business needs. Support can range from a few days per month to more embedded involvement, giving you access to senior marketing expertise without the overhead of a full-time hire.
