Fractional CMO for VC-backed startups.
You closed the round. Your board expects growth. The wrong CMO hire burns two quarters and six figures. We're in the seat by next week.
When your growth runs on zero ad spend, you don't want competitors knowing how.
The wrong CMO hire is the most expensive mistake you'll make this year.
Two ways this starts.
We don't have a CMO.
You raised capital, growth is on you, and nobody's running marketing. You need a senior operator in the seat, not a consultant with a slide deck.
We have a CMO problem.
Your CMO left, isn't working out, or your VP needs strategic leadership above them. You need someone who can step in without a 6-month search.
We don't advise. We run it.
Diagnostic
We audit everything, talk to your team, and hand you a 90-day roadmap your board can read.
Build
Infrastructure goes up. Content starts publishing. Your team has someone to report to.
Scale
Numbers are in. We optimize what's working and kill what's not. Board reporting is live.
PLG company? We layer organic on top of your product-led funnel. Works with DevRel, not instead of it.
Four models. Pick the one that fits.
Series A — Full Fractional CMO
No marketing leadership. We are your CMO, 2-4 days a week. Strategy, team, execution, board reporting.
$15K-$25K/monthCMO Vacancy Bridge
Your CMO left. We're in the seat within 5 days. Pipeline doesn't stop.
$35K-$50K/monthVP Development
Your VP is good but strategy and execution drifted apart. We close the gap.
$20K-$30K/monthStrategic Augmentation
Your VP needs the CMO-level thinking above them. 10-15 hours/week, board-integrated.
$25K-$35K/monthAll engagements include diagnostic phase and 90-day minimum.
Your name stays off our website. Your playbooks stay out of our pitch deck.
What happens when we lead marketing.
VC-Backed Gaming Marketplace
We took over marketing leadership. Built the organic engine, hired the team, set the board reporting. 50M views, 900% branded search, no ad spend.
Mailly.io
We ran marketing end to end. 42% of demos from organic. 8.7% visitor-to-trial. $0 paid.
Fractional CMO vs. full-time hire vs. agency.
Your next board meeting is in 90 days. What will you report?
The search for a full-time CMO takes 3 to 6 months. We're in the seat by next week.
CMO vacancy? We can begin within 5 business days.
This stays between us. Always does.
Questions founders ask about fractional CMOs.
We show up 2 to 4 days a week as your head of marketing. Set strategy, lead the team, build infrastructure, present to the board. We attend your standups and own the same numbers a full-time CMO would.
Fractional when you can't justify half a million dollars yet, need someone in the seat this month, or are between hires. Once your team passes 8-10 people with proven channels, go full-time. We'll help you make that switch.
Good. Most of ours do too. Your team has the hands, they're missing the strategic layer above them. We set the priorities and give them the structure to actually execute.
No. PLG is your advantage, we're not touching that. We add organic demand channels on top. Works alongside DevRel, not instead of it.
Series A: $15K-$25K/mo. Series B: $20K-$50K/mo. CMO Vacancy Bridge: $35K-$50K/mo. All include diagnostic phase and 90-day minimum.
Honestly, most seed companies need execution more than strategy. We typically start at Series A. That said, if you've closed above $3M and need the foundation built before your A, talk to us.
If you want an agency to run campaigns and send you a report, that's not us. If you want to hand off marketing and never think about it, also not us. This is senior leadership. You have to be in the room too.
