Fractional CMO

Tech, Tools, and Team Augmentation You Need

Don’t waste a dime while still delivering the results your clients demand.

Time vs. Money vs. Client Demand

Companies usually bring in a Fractional CMO when they aren’t large enough for a full-time marketing executive, or they’ve had to make budget cuts that affected their marketing efforts. With money already stretched to their limits, the company still needs a marketing strategist who can deliver awareness, engagement, and revenue. Not to mention you have a hard deadline to work with and only so many hands to make it happen.

When you have to account for every penny, we provide cost-effective marketing tools, predictive calculators, and team augmentation. so you don’t waste a dime while still delivering the results your clients demand.

Avoid Fragmented Systems

If your client recently launched a new website and isn’t sure they want to spend more money on a redesign, ask if they’re seeing the traffic they hoped. Are they able to update the website with current information easily? Do their preferred third-party apps and platforms work with their current setup?

Fragmented systems or third-party marketing tools and apps that don’t integrate with their website can cause a loss in productivity, degraded functionality, and issues with data collection.

Don’t Take Our Word for It

Just ask The General Board of Higher Education and Ministry (GBHEM). They came to us after experiencing a decline in traffic and myriad performance and security issues. Their main Drupal site had been failing along with several sub- and micro-sites that needed to be included in the GBHEM’s primary domain. Doing so improved their content strategy and audience reach.

SEO Support

At the same time, SEO support for all website performance concerns, including on-page conversion rate optimization, accessibility best practices, and continuous on-and-offsite SEO implementation increased website traffic and visitor sessions.
