How It Works

Our Process

A proven approach that delivers results. Here's how we work together.

1

Role Scoping

We define exactly what leadership is needed - CMO, CTO, or both. We clarify authority, responsibility, time commitment, and success metrics before starting.

2

Quick Assessment

In the first 30 days, we assess current state - team capability, existing strategies, technology stack or marketing mix, and quick-win opportunities.

3

Strategic Direction

We set strategic direction for the function - where we're going, why, and how we'll get there. Clear priorities, resource allocation, and milestone planning.

4

Ongoing Leadership

We lead the function - team meetings, decision-making, execution oversight, stakeholder management. All the things a full-time exec does, concentrated into part-time hours.

Is This For You?

Who This Is For

Companies between £2M-£20M who need executive capability but not full-time

Businesses with marketing or tech teams that lack strategic direction

Founders who are strong in one area but need leadership in another

Organisations in transition - growth phase, pre-investment, or post-departure

Why This Matters

Marketing without strategic leadership wastes budget on tactics that don't ladder to business goals. Technology without strategic leadership accumulates debt and makes poor architectural decisions. But full-time CMOs and CTOs cost £150-250k+ and take months to hire. Fractional leadership gives you the strategic capability immediately, at a fraction of the cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this service.

What is the difference between fractional CMO and CTO?
Fractional CMO owns marketing strategy, brand, demand generation, and marketing team leadership. Fractional CTO owns technology strategy, architecture decisions, engineering team leadership, and technical debt management. Some businesses need one, some need both.
How much time does a fractional CMO or CTO typically spend?
Typically 1-2 days per week, though this varies based on business stage and complexity. During intensive periods (launches, major initiatives), we can increase temporarily. The model is flexible to your actual needs.
Can a fractional leader really make strategic decisions?
Absolutely. We're not consultants who advise from the sidelines. We have decision-making authority, own outcomes, and are accountable for results. The difference is concentrated time, not reduced responsibility.
What happens when we are ready for a full-time hire?
We help you hire our replacement. We'll write the job spec, screen candidates, and ensure a proper handover. Our goal is building sustainable capability, not creating dependency.
