Boston Fractional CMO Services

Effective marketing leadership is needed to drive growth. Hiring a full time CMO, though, isn’t always the best fit for every organization. Fractional CMOs are agile C-suite professionals that enable organizations to access marketing experts on a part time basis. A Fractional CMO gives strategic oversight, aligns marketing with business objectives, keeps the team focused on measurable results, and helps the team manage industry changes, such as facilitating AI integration and navigating trends. Fractional CMOs provide high-level leadership exactly when and where it’s needed. This includes budget allocation and revenue-focused campaigns that improve go-to-marketing tactics. This allows you to improve your marketing without going over budget or compromising its effectiveness.

Consider hiring Brick Marketing Founder and B2B Fractional CMO Nick Stamoulis that will bring over 25 years of marketing experience to help your business or organization.

Fractional CMO Methodology

Our approach to our Fractional CMO service is to focus on strategy and collaboration.

We take a strategic, goal-oriented approach that ensures measurable outcomes and encourages long-term business growth.

Fractional CMO process:

Our fractional CMO solution operates under six-month contracts, which gives us more than enough time to go through the following steps. We set your company up for success, and this is usually more than enough time. After six months, we can evaluate if more time is needed, or not. Using our Fractional CMO services, we help you solve problems, but the intent is always to step away and allow your team to handle it after our work is completed.

Initial Analysis
We start by performing a detailed review of your business, current marketing efforts, and competitors. This step includes determining your strengths and weakness and identifies key areas and opportunities for improvement. We get to know your competitive landscape, your in-house team resources and existing strategies so that we can then create a strong foundation for developing an effective and tailored marketing approach.

Planning Phase
Once our comprehensive analysis is finished, we then develop a comprehensive marketing strategy that is aligned with your business goals. This involves getting clear on your target audience, setting clear objectives, and creating a blueprint for success. This planning phase ensures that your marketing efforts are driven by data, strategic, and are poised to achieve measurable results.

Implementation
During the implementation phase, we determine the best way to execute the marketing strategy. We evaluate in-house resources, identify areas that may require outsourcing, and assist with hiring new talent if necessary. Our focus is on ensuring the strategy is carried out effectively, using the right mix of resources to maximize impact.

Monitoring
During our time together, we monitor progress to ensure the marketing strategy is effective. This includes evaluating key performance metrics, making tactical adjustments as needed, and ensuring the process is optimized for the best results possible. Providing additional support in the forum of analyzing your budget, allocated resources, evaluating the buying cycle, and ensuring that your marketing efforts remain efficient, agile, and aligned with business objectives, is also done during this stage.

*Please note: Hiring us in a fractional CMO capacity, does not mean that your company has to hire Brick Marketing agency to implement. We are happy to work with your in-house or existing agency teams.
