OUR TYPICAL ENGAGEMENT

What Do Our Partnerships Look Like?

Clients come to us with unique challenges and goals. We tailor our marketing solutions to fit their specific needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach. We offer two main partnership structures to best serve you.

Our most typical engagement is on a retainer based contract. This is the most popular for our clients, as it offers multiple benefits:

While a retainer-based engagement is often preferred for our clients, some have specific projects in mind, which can simplify the partnership:

TAILOR-MADE DIGITAL MARKETING

Customized marketing strategy and execution

We are marketing and branding experts that have decades of experience building brands that scale. We have taken start-ups with no brand strategy into some of the most recognized names in their industries, thanks to our proven step-by-step approach.

1. Tell us your story

This is the most important step of the process. We want to understand the “why” behind the business and what the goals of the company may be. This sets the foundation for the brand.

2. Brand deep-dive

This is where we will look at the attributes that align with your brand. We use a series of fun exercises to find what really speaks to you, what traits you admire, and what you strive to become as a company.

3. Brand roadmap

After all of the exercises and deep dives are complete, the next step is for us to do a detailed review of the brand and begin to pull out the themes and characteristics that make your brand unique.

Why A Fractional CMO?

We have over a decade of executive marketing leadership

A CMO understands the current marketing landscape and can initiate marketing programs that drive more leads, increase conversions, and boost sales. They are responsible for creating a complete marketing strategy and marketing audit to deliver a better return on investment (ROI) for your marketing spend.

There’s one challenge, though. A full-time CMO may not be a good fit for many companies due to budget issues and other challenges. This is where a Fractional CMO comes in.

Unlike a full-time CMO, a Fractional CMO works on a part-time basis and works for different clients. In other words, a Fractional CMO provides services to your company at a fraction of the cost of what you would spend on a full-time marketing executive.

New Strategies

One of the tasks a CMO does best is taking a look at your current marketing efforts with fresh eyes and finding new strategies that will help you meet your goals. We will be able to translate your goals into tangible wins based on our knowledge, experience, and data.

Efficiency

Since a fractional CMO isn’t a full-time employee, we are aware that time is valuable. We’ll be able to completely focus on a specific project or marketing effort instead of needing to attend to other day-to-day, time-wasting tasks that full-time employees often contend with.

Less Risk

If you’ve hired full-time employees before, you know that the process is cumbersome. There’s also the risk that you hire someone and find that they don’t quite fit well with your company culture or brand.

Full Time Commitment  While many full-time CMOs offer a significant amount of experience, they bring one set of ideas and areas of expertise to the table. Additionally, there is often:
  • Expensive recruiting
  • Lengthy onboarding process
  • Costly benefits
  • Focus on ideas, not execution
In many cases, lean organizations are hesitant to invest in an executive-level marketing hire, so marketing strategy can often become overlooked. When considering a full-time CMO, ask whether the business is actually able and ready to support that investment. If not, a Fractional CMO may be the perfect solution.
