What is a Fractional CMO, anyways?

The term Fractional CMO is everywhere right now, but let’s be real—most people have no idea what it actually means. If you’ve been wondering, Is this just a fancy name for a marketing consultant? Do they run my ads? Why would I hire one instead of a full-time CMO?—this episode is for you.

I’m breaking down exactly what a Fractional CMO does, what they don’t do, and why so many businesses hire one for the wrong reasons. We’ll talk about when you actually need a Fractional CMO, how they fit into your business, and how to spot the difference between a true strategic leader and someone just slapping the title on their LinkedIn profile.

If you’re a business owner thinking about hiring one - or a marketer wondering if this could be your next career move - this episode is your roadmap.
