Fractional leadership

Fractional CMO and fractional COO for growing companies

A senior leader joins your management team part-time and takes ownership of marketing or operations: the plan, the people, the numbers and the weekly rhythm. Behind them is our team, so decisions turn into work the same week.

Who it is for

For companies that need a senior owner and not yet a full-time executive

  • The founder still runs marketing or operations and has no time for either.
  • There are executors and contractors, and nobody sets priorities or checks results.
  • A full-time CMO or COO is too early or too expensive for the current stage.
  • You need someone to build the function and then hire and onboard a permanent lead.

Our approach

A leader with a team, and everything in writing

Ownership, not advice

The fractional leader answers for the plan and the result of the function, attends your meetings and manages your people and contractors.

A team behind the role

Analysts, channel specialists and operations people from our side do the work the plan needs, so the leader is not a lone consultant.

One report, every week

Goals, numbers and decisions are written down each week. The founder sees the same page the team works from.

Built to be handed over

From the first month we document the function so a permanent hire can take it without starting again.

Questions

Questions founders ask first

What is a fractional CMO?

A chief marketing officer who works for your company part-time, usually a few days a week, with the same responsibility as a full-time one: strategy, team, budget and results.

What does a fractional COO do?

Owns how the company operates: processes, roles, goals, reporting and the meeting rhythm, so the founder stops being the person every decision waits for.

How many hours a week is it?

It depends on the stage. We set the load after the audit and write it into the 90-day plan, with a review at the end of the quarter.

Fractional leader or an agency?

An agency executes a channel. A fractional leader owns the function and decides what the agency, the team and the budget should do. With us you get both in one engagement.

What does it cost?

We do not publish prices. Cost follows from the audit and from the load agreed in the plan.
