Marketing leadership

Add direction without a full-time role

A fractional CMO provides senior marketing leadership on an agreed part-time or fractional basis. The role can help connect business objectives, marketing priorities, channel decisions and performance measurement.

Fractional CMO services can suit established businesses that have outgrown informal marketing decisions but do not need, or are not ready to define, a full-time executive position. If you have worked with agencies or managed campaigns yourself, this support can help bring your marketing activity under a clearer direction.

  • Established businesses seeking senior marketing direction
  • Owners coordinating several marketing activities or suppliers
  • Teams that need clearer priorities and performance oversight

Connect decisions to execution

The scope of a fractional CMO engagement should reflect your business needs and the decisions you want support with. Potential areas of work include:

  • Review business objectives and current marketing activity
  • Set marketing priorities and recommend where to focus
  • Guide marketing strategy and planning
  • Coordinate channel priorities across SEO, paid media and website activity
  • Help define objectives and conversion measures
  • Review calls, forms and quote requests alongside campaign activity
  • Provide direction to internal staff and external suppliers

Keep marketing tied to outcomes

Marketing leadership should connect priorities to the customer actions your business wants. Every plan includes conversion tracking and a client portal with a live dashboard. Managed and higher plans also include a monthly business-results report.

  • Calls tracked through your conversion setup
  • Form submissions recorded and visible in the dashboard
  • Quote requests reviewed alongside marketing activity in the monthly report

Fractional CMO, explained

Understand the role, engagement and how marketing performance is reviewed.

What is a fractional CMO?

A fractional CMO provides marketing leadership on a part-time or fractional basis rather than as a full-time executive role. The responsibilities and time commitment depend on the agreed engagement.

What does a fractional CMO do?

The role can include setting marketing priorities, guiding strategy, coordinating channel activity and reviewing performance. The specific responsibilities must be defined for your business.

Is a fractional CMO the same as an outsourced CMO?

Both terms can describe marketing leadership provided from outside your organization rather than through a full-time internal hire. The actual scope, authority and working arrangement depend on the engagement.

Who would act as our fractional CMO?

Fractional CMO leadership is provided by Taher Dawoodi and Taha Toprawalla. The engagement should make clear who leads the work and how they work with your team.

How are fractional CMO services priced and structured?

The engagement model, time commitment, term and fees are agreed for each client before the engagement begins. Request a quote to discuss what you need.
