What business problems does a fractional CMO solve?

Entrepreneurs and small business leaders are notorious for being good at building a business, but bad at marketing it for growth. Small business and start-up leaders typically find themselves focused on managing operations, business model development, and all the other priorities of running a business: marketing often ends up being de-prioritized and pushed to the side.


Additionally, the word marketing doesn’t always hold a positive connotation, and business owners are often afraid of associating with it because they find it egotistical or manipulative.


I’ve spoken with countless small business owners who’ve tried hiring a marketing agency or spending money on paid ads, like Google, and had a bad experience and no results. The standard comment is something like “My company spent $40k on Google ads a few years ago and I don’t think we got anything out of it.”


The root cause of this ineffective marketing is typically the acute lack of marketing leadership and no understanding of who your customer really is; a fractional CMO acts as the key to unlock how to attract your ideal customer and wisely allocate your marketing dollars. If you have a strong core business but challenges around getting leads and acquiring new customers, a fractional CMO can help you craft a growth engine to scale.
