IS THIS FOR YOU?
Four signs you need a Fractional CMO.
Most of our clients come to us with the same story, told slightly differently. They're running a profitable business, growth has stalled, and marketing is the biggest unsolved problem on the leadership team's whiteboard. If one of these sounds like your business, we should talk.
01
Your marketing has no strategy behind it
You're running campaigns, posting content, maybe paying for ads - but there's no single document that says why, what it's supposed to achieve, or how you'll measure it. Each tactic is a standalone bet. The wins are lucky, the losses are expensive.
02
Nobody actually owns the marketing function
It's being handled by a junior staff member stretched too thin, an external agency you can't get straight answers from, or worse - by you, between everything else on your plate. No senior decision-maker is accountable for the numbers.
03
You can't prove what's working
You're spending money on marketing every month. When someone asks what the ROI is, the honest answer is a shrug. You've had burns before - agencies that charged plenty and delivered little - and you're wary of repeating the pattern.
04
You need senior talent, not a senior salary
You know the business has outgrown junior marketing help. But a full-time CMO at $200K+ is either overkill or out of reach. You need the expertise without the overhead, headcount or equity conversation.
If you ticked any of these two, let's have a conversation.
WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO
Six capability areas. One embedded leader.
A Fractional CMO isn't a narrow specialty. It's the leadership seat that connects strategy, execution and measurement. Here's the remit we take on for you - all of it, every engagement.
Marketing Strategy
We write your marketing strategy - the actual document. Target customer, positioning, channels, budgets, priorities, success metrics. No templates, no guesswork.
Brand & Messaging
Clarity on who you are, who you're for, and why anyone should care. We'll refresh your positioning, messaging hierarchy and voice - then make sure they actually get used.
Team & Vendor Leadership
We hire, brief and manage the people actually doing the work - designers, developers, media buyers, junior marketers, content producers. One point of accountability, not six.
Lead Generation & Funnel
We design the system that turns strangers into enquiries into customers - the channels, the offers, the nurture sequences and the handoff to sales. Then we run it and improve it.
Content & Website
Your website is usually the weakest link. We audit it, rewrite it where needed, and put a content engine behind it so it keeps working after launch. Conversion-focused. SEO-grounded.
Measurement & Reporting
Analytics set up properly. KPIs that map to revenue. A monthly report you can actually read - with recommendations, not just charts. If we can't measure it, we won't spend on it.
Edupi always believed in marketing but lacked time to execute. Meeting MarketingHQ revealed a company that could handle the work, develop a meaningful strategy, and minimise disruption.

COMMON CONFUSION
We're not an agency. Here's the difference.
If you've worked with marketing agencies or consultants before and been burnt, this will make sense to you. A Fractional CMO sits in a different seat.
What we don't do
Pitch you a retainer to run ads for you
Produce creative in-house (we hire the right people for it)
Bill by the hour and keep you guessing on scope
Send weekly status reports that ignore the numbers that matter
Lock you into 12-24 month contracts
Pass you off to a junior account manager after week two
Show up, deliver a deck of recommendations and disappear
What we do
Sit inside your business as a senior marketing leader
Own the strategy and be accountable for revenue outcomes
Manage your agencies, freelancers and internal staff directly
Report monthly on the metrics your board actually cares about
Work on 6-month minimums, then month-to-month - no lock in
Stay with you long enough for the strategy to actually work.
