Senior marketing talent at a fraction of the cost.

The Fractional CMO

Effective marketing leadership can be both hard to find and costly. As an SME you have to balance the desire for growth with ongoing costs. The kind of experience you need may just not be affordable. So how do you get that tricky science of marketing right?

A fractional CMO is a chief marketing officer who works part time – all the experience that you can tap into on a part time basis, at a fraction of the cost of a full time CMO. So, as is the very nature of marketing, we’re going to sell ourselves to you here. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. And we are, quite frankly, the queen of puddings.

Let’s face it I’m no spring chicken. I have acted as senior leader in businesses, bringing order to chaos and mentorship to teams.
