Fractional CMO, Answered

What is a fractional CMO?

A fractional CMO is a senior marketing leader who works on your business part time. They set the plan, the budget and the priorities, and keep every dollar of marketing tied to sales. At SET, your fractional CMO comes with the team that carries out the plan: your website, your Google ranking, your ads and your lead follow-up, all run by the same people.

How much does a fractional CMO cost?

Much less than a full-time CMO, which typically costs $250K+ all in. A fractional CMO is a monthly retainer sized to the hours and work you need. We size it with you on the free strategy call.

How is this different from an agency retainer?

An agency usually carries out tasks. A fractional CMO leads your whole marketing plan, including any outside vendors, and stays accountable to the numbers. At SET, your fractional CMO comes with the team that carries out the plan: your website, your Google ranking, your ads and your lead follow-up, all run by the same people.

How many hours per week is it?

It depends on your business. It is enough time to lead the plan, run regular check-ins and stay accountable to the numbers. We set the right amount together.
