How much time do you spend per week?

Typically 5-15 hours/week embedded — variable by size and growth phase.

Do you run the work or just strategize?

Both. We bring an execution team so we're accountable for results, not just plans.

When should we hire a full-time CMO?

Usually $25-50M+ revenue. Before that, fractional is more efficient and more flexible.

Market and operating detail

What creates demand

A fractional CMO exists to allocate demand-generation capital correctly, not to execute channels — the failure mode is hiring one to do agency work.

How buyers decide

Ninety days to establish measurement and reallocate budget; two to four quarters to show durable change in acquisition economics.

The unit economics that matter

Success is a lower blended cost per booked job and a marketing plan defensible to a board or a lender.

Where budget goes first

Channel decisions follow capacity and margin by service line rather than a fixed channel preference.

The operational constraint

Most of the early wins come from intake, follow-up and CRM discipline rather than from media changes.

The pricing and margin lever

Pricing strategy sits inside the CMO mandate, because pricing moves revenue faster than demand does.
