Senior marketing leadership.
Without the $250K salary.
A fractional CMO embedded in your business. Weekly cadence, quarterly roadmaps, board-ready reporting. The strategic marketing leadership your SaaS company needs to scale — without the full-time overhead.
Book a strategy callEverything a full-time CMO does. None of the overhead.
Most fractional CMO companies hand you a strategy deck and disappear. We stay. Weekly calls, daily Slack, quarterly planning. The difference between a consultant and a marketing leader is accountability — and we are accountable to your pipeline numbers.
Go-to-Market Strategy
Positioning, messaging, competitive differentiation. We build the strategic foundation before spending a dollar on campaigns. ICP definition, value proposition testing, channel prioritization.
90-Day Sprint Planning
Quarterly OKRs, campaign calendars, resource allocation. Every 90 days we reassess what is working, cut what is not, and double down on the channels driving pipeline.
Team Management
Hire, manage, and mentor your marketing team. We run standups, set goals, review output, and handle performance. Your junior marketers get senior direction without the senior salary.
Budget & Vendor Management
Allocate spend, evaluate tools, manage agency relationships. We know which MarTech actually moves the needle and which is shelfware. Your budget works harder because we have seen what fails.
Board & Investor Reporting
Marketing-attributed pipeline, CAC/LTV, cohort analysis, channel efficiency. Board decks that show marketing as a revenue engine, not a cost center. Numbers your CFO will actually trust.
Competitive Intelligence
Market mapping, win/loss analysis, positioning evolution. We track your competitors' messaging, pricing changes, and content strategy so you are always one move ahead.

How fractional CMO engagement works.
No six-month ramp. No discovery phase that costs $50K. We diagnose fast, build a roadmap in week one, and start shipping in week two.
Strategy Call Day 1
30-minute diagnostic. We learn your product, market, current pipeline, and what has been tried. You learn whether we are the right SaaS marketing consultant for your stage. No pitch deck — just a direct conversation about what is broken and what to prioritize.
Marketing Audit Week 1
Full-stack audit: website, CRM, analytics, content, paid, email, competitive landscape. We identify the three highest-leverage moves and build a 90-day roadmap with clear KPIs. You get a written strategy document, not a verbal summary.
Execution Begins Week 2
First deliverables ship. Depending on priorities, this could be landing pages, email sequences, ad creative, or content. We do not spend months in "strategy mode." Strategy and execution happen in parallel.
Weekly Cadence Ongoing
Weekly strategy sync, shared performance dashboard, monthly executive review. You always know what is running, what is working, and what we are changing. No black boxes. Full transparency into spend, pipeline impact, and next moves.
Fractional CMO vs. full-time CMO vs. marketing agency.
The real question is not "should we hire a CMO?" It is "what kind of marketing leadership fits our stage?" Here is how the options compare for most B2B SaaS companies between $1M-$30M ARR.
| Fractional CMO | Full-Time CMO | Traditional Agency | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | $5-15K/mo | $200-350K/yr + equity | $10-30K/mo |
| Ramp Time | 1-2 weeks | 3-6 months | 4-8 weeks |
| Strategic Depth | Deep — embedded in your business | Deep | Shallow — account manager layer |
| Execution | Yes — with our team | Depends on team | Yes — but siloed |
| Flexibility | Scale up/down monthly | Fixed cost | Contract terms |
| Industry Expertise | 40+ SaaS companies | 1-2 companies | Varies |
