The short answer
This is a practical question with a practical answer. A fractional CMO is a senior marketing leader who runs your marketing function part-time, owning strategy, budget and results at chief marketing officer level without a full-time salary. You need one when marketing spend has outgrown a junior team but a permanent CMO is not yet justified. The longer version below comes from running the work, not theorising about it.
