FAQ

Questions about strategy

How much does a fractional CMO cost?

It depends on hours and scope, so we price it on a 15-minute call. You pay for senior leadership a few days a month, not a full-time salary.

Fractional CMO or agency: which do I need?

A fractional CMO sets the direction and owns the results; an agency runs channels. We do both, so you get one team from plan to execution.

Do I need a GTM strategy before I spend on ads?

Yes. Without a clear target buyer and message, ads buy clicks, not customers. The strategy decides where the ad money goes.

How long does a GTM strategy take?

First draft in 5–7 business days, final in 10–15, depending on scope.

What if I need someone to plan and execute?

That is how we work. We build the strategy, then our Digital Marketing and Automation teams can run it.
