Fractional CMO vs Agency vs Contractor: How Switching Between Roles Is Costing You

What you call yourself matters less than what you actually do. And when you code-switch with the same client — saying CMO, operating as contractor — you're losing authority and pricing power.

If you've ever found yourself executing work for a client while also calling yourself their Fractional CMO, this episode will help you understand why.

In this episode, I'm breaking down:

  • Exactly what to do in your first 90 days as a fractional CMO
  • What you should do (and not do) in months one, two, and three
  • How to integrate with the team and establish your rhythm as the leader
  • Why this progression determines whether you operate like a CMO or a contractor

This isn't about being rigid or distant. It's about clarity and boundaries. Because being a Fractional CMO isn't just about strategy — it's about the seat you're actually in.

Ready to take the next step?

If you’re ready to step into the Fractional CMO role but want support as you do it, Fractional CMO School is a 6-month coaching program + community to help you confidently land high-ticket clients and build a 6-figure (and beyond) business as a Fractional CMO.
