Fractional CMO for Service Businesses

Strategic marketing leadership without the six-figure salary.

FRACTIONAL CMO SERVICES

Hi, I'm Ashley

I work with B2B service companies doing between $10-$50M in revenue that want to grow but need help designing and executing marketing strategies. I help drive measurable pipeline growth without the overhead (and stress of hiring) a full-time CMO. I work hands-on, keep things simple and focus on what actually moves the needle. If you already have traction and want a clear growth plan, stronger conversion and tighter sales/marketing alignment - this is for you.

What is a Fractional CMO?

A fractional CMO is an executive-level marketing leader who provides strategy, guidance, and team development on a flexible, part-time basis. Instead of committing to a full-time role, businesses can access CMO-level guidance as needed. This works especially well for growth-focused companies that want marketing leadership but aren’t ready to invest in a permanent executive hire.

Think of it as having an experienced marketing leader who integrates with your team, sets the direction, and ensures execution without the overhead of a six-figure annual salary. With full-time CMOs averaging between $275,000 and $375,000 annually (not including bonuses and benefits), the fractional CMO model offers a lean, results-driven alternative. Whether your needs are 5, 10, or 20 hours per week, a part-time CMO brings executive-level vision and adaptability that scales with your business.

Your fractional CMO should act as more than just a consultant, they function as part of your executive team, shaping both your marketing execution and broader business direction. At CMO Exponential, our fractional CMOs integrate seamlessly with leadership, ensuring strategy and execution stay aligned.

Why Hire a Fractional CMO?

You don't always need a full-time CMO - you need the right level of leadership at the right time. Here's why a Fractional CMO often makes sense for growing companies:

Experienced Leadership: Gain access to senior-level guidance that keeps marketing aligned with business objectives.

Marketing Expertise Across Channels: Leverage deep knowledge in digital, traditional, and emerging marketing strategies.

Performance & Accountability: Implement KPI-driven reporting, weekly reviews, and ongoing performance optimization.

Fresh Perspective: A fractional CMO identifies missed opportunities and improves campaigns already in motion.

Efficiency & ROI: Ensure your team and budget are being used in the smartest way possible.

Go-to-Market Strategy: Launch new products and services with a structured, scalable plan and measurable outcomes.

Cost-Effectiveness: Secure executive-level marketing leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CMO.
