Why Choose a Fractional CMO?

Hiring a full-time CMO can be costly, with annual salaries often exceeding $200,000. For small to mid-sized industrial companies, a Fractional CMO provides the same level of expertise at a fraction of the cost. You get a customized, data-driven marketing strategy that aligns with your business goals and delivers high-quality leads—without the overhead.

Our Fractional CMO service is available in two phases: Phase 1 is for strategy development, and Phase 2 is for ongoing marketing support. They are related because a strategy alone won’t deliver results; it must be executed, measured and refined based on data.

If you already have a documented strategy, you could skip straight to phase 2. We will let you know after we review it.

Our 2-phase Approach to Fractional CMO for Manufacturers

Phase 1: Strategic Roadmap Development

The first phase of our Fractional CMO service is all about creating a custom industrial marketing strategy designed specifically for your business. We start with a thorough discovery process that includes:

  • In-depth marketing audits

  • Understanding your business goals and sales objectives

  • Identifying target industries and buyer personas

  • Pinpointing your current marketing challenges

From this, we develop a comprehensive marketing roadmap that outlines actionable steps to help you generate high-quality leads, increase brand visibility, and convert prospects into loyal customers.

What’s Included:

  • Marketing and competitive audits for SEO and online presence

  • Analysis of buyer personas and sales cycles

  • A documented and customized industrial marketing strategy

  • An actionable plan (PoA) for implementation

  • Deliverable: A PDF report with analysis and recommendations

  • Follow-up consulting call to discuss the strategy and answer any questions

Project-Based Fee: Starting at $12,500 (One-time fee)

Phase 2: Ongoing Fractional CMO Support

Once your strategic roadmap is in place, Phase 2 provides ongoing marketing leadership. As your Fractional CMO, we offer strategic oversight, manage campaign execution, and ensure your marketing efforts align with your evolving business needs.

Each month, you receive 20 hours of CMO-level support, offering flexibility and high-impact guidance.

NOTE: Implementation is not included at this price point. We can customize the retainer to include implementation, measuring and reporting to meet your needs and overcome any lack of in-house resources.

What’s Included:

  • Monthly campaign direction and optimization

  • Coordination with your internal teams

  • Adjustments to the marketing plan based on performance

  • Continuous refinement to meet sales and revenue targets

Retainer: Starting at $5,500/month

Value Beyond Price

As a mechanical engineer with an MBA in marketing, I bring specialized knowledge and experience to the table. Many Fractional CMO services do not have this expertise, which is particularly relevant for manufacturing, engineering, and industrial companies. I can reduce wasted marketing spend, align your industrial marketing with long sales cycles, and optimize ROI. I deliver value.

I read through the entire report and made notes. Overall, I thought the report was thorough and of high quality... but as you know, a plan is useless unless it is implemented properly.

I took quite a bit of time, probably a couple of hours reading your report. I was interested when I first glanced through it and didn’t know how detailed you would get. Wow, you’ve really understood our situation, and am impressed by your understanding of what we need to do.

Why Do I Need a Chief (C) Anyone?

If you are a family-owned and operated manufacturer (There are many such industrial companies), the leader is probably the founder and president. You don’t have C-level executives. So why hire a CMO?
