CMO at a Jr. Marketer price Tag
The difference between a CMO and a Junior Marketer is more than just experience, it is also their view of the marketing function. A Junior Marketer is a tactical implementer, often looking for guidance on what to implement next. He usually has strengths in one area of marketing (such as social media) and operates well in that space.
A Chief Marketing Officer takes a bird's eye view of the marketing organization, ensuring all marketing tactics tie together for greater results. She also insures that the marketing strategy supports overall business goals.
She ties disparate marketing functions together under an over-arching strategy, as to avoid brand confusion, duplication of marketing efforts and spend, and marketing efforts not within the intended goals.
Hire a Partner Not an Employee
The reason you may consider fractional marketing is either because your time is better dedicated to other areas of your business, you don't have a strong expertise in marketing, or both.
The marketing function has drastically changed in the past five years, and it is still in a state of constant change. There has been a shift from sellers driving the sales process to buyers controlling the process. Getting up to speed with all the different marketing channels, SEO, algorithm changes and ways to connect your messages can be daunting.
What most small businesses need is a partner who can inform you of the changes, how this affects you and your business, develop a plan that takes the current environment into account, and then put that plan into action. This is not the roll of a Junior Marketer and a most small businesses don't have the budget to support a full CMO and the necessary supporting Marketing infrascructure.
Enlisting Fraction Marketing is like hiring a CMO at a Junior Marketer price. You will get a...
- Marketing strategy that ties to the overall business strategy
- Marketing oversight to ensure branding and campaigns tie together with a goal in mind
- A single marketing partner to act as your marketing advisor
- A marketing eye overseeing multiple marketing functions
