Fractional CMO for hire
Hire a Fractional CMO
When you need a senior marketing leader but not a full-time hire: we take the CMO seat part-time, own the function and stay accountable for the number.
In short
Hiring a fractional CMO gives you a part-time chief marketing officer who owns marketing end to end without the cost of a full-time executive. Whether you call it an outsourced CMO, a part-time CMO or a fractional marketing director, the model is the same: senior firepower, deployed fast, accountable for revenue, with a clean handover built in.
What hiring a fractional CMO actually buys you
You are not buying campaigns or a slide deck. You are buying a leader who runs the function.
- Marketing strategy tied directly to revenue, not vanity metrics.
- A single owner who sets priorities, holds the team to them and reports straight to you.
- Budget and marketing-to-revenue discipline, the same that took spend from 40 to 30 percent at scale.
- Team structure, hiring and the operating rhythm that turns marketing into a repeatable engine.
- A handover plan from day one so the function stands on its own after the engagement.
Part-time CMO, outsourced CMO, fractional marketing director
These are the same engagement under different names. A part-time CMO works two or three days a week. An outsourced CMO sits outside your payroll, with no equity or long notice period. A fractional marketing director or fractional marketing executive is the same senior capacity, dosed to what the business actually needs. You pay for judgement and results, not headcount.
An operator, not an agency
An agency executes briefs. A consultant hands you advice. We make the decisions and own the outcome.
This is not advisory from someone who has only watched. As CMO of LeoVegas we ran a EUR 120M marketing budget, generated over EUR 50M of incremental revenue in under twelve months and lifted EBITA by 18 percent, work that helped drive the MGM acquisition and an exit above EUR 607M. Earlier, leading an Italian market, we took revenue from EUR 3M to EUR 18M in under a year.
How we start
We find the few constraints blocking growth: positioning, channels, data, team.
We concentrate budget and people on the two or three levers that move revenue.
We run the function: campaigns, process, reporting and cadence, against one plan.
We build people and systems so marketing keeps running after we leave.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to hire a fractional CMO?
Far less than a full-time CMO with salary, bonus and equity. You pay a monthly retainer scoped to the days and outcomes agreed up front.
What is the difference between a fractional and an outsourced CMO?
None in practice. Both describe a senior marketing leader engaged part-time, outside your payroll, accountable for results.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within days of the first call. For an urgent gap we can step in almost immediately.
Is a part-time CMO enough for a growing company?
For most early and scaling companies, yes. Two or three focused days a week from a senior operator beats a full-time junior hire without direction.
Do you only set strategy or also execute?
Both. We own the function, set the strategy and drive execution with your team.
