FAQ
Leadership questions
What founders and boards weigh up before bringing in senior marketing leadership — full-time or fractional.
CMO, VP or Head of Marketing?
+
Titles signal scope, not seniority. A Head of Marketing usually owns execution; a CMO owns strategy, budget and a seat at the leadership table. Hire for the remit you actually need filled.
When do we need our first senior marketer?
+
Usually when founders can no longer own marketing themselves and spend outpaces strategy. The risk is hiring junior into a senior gap — you get activity without direction.
What does a fractional CMO actually do?
+
Sets strategy, builds the plan, hires the team and mentors juniors — one to three days a week. It's leadership and direction, not extra hands for execution.
Fractional or full-time CMO?
+
Fractional suits early and growth-stage companies that need senior thinking but can't justify a full-time salary near $200k+. Go full-time when marketing is core and needs daily ownership.
What's the cost of a wrong senior hire?
+
More than salary. A mis-hired marketing leader can cost six to twelve months of momentum, a demoralised team and a strategy reset — which is exactly why vetting matters here.
