Is This You?

Signs Your SaaS Company Needs a Fractional CMO

CAC Is Climbing and Nobody Owns It

You are spending on acquisition with no leader tying spend to pipeline, payback, and LTV. A Fractional CMO owns the growth math.

You Need PLG or Demand Gen Built, Not Just Run

Founder-led marketing got you here. Scaling past it needs a leader who builds the motion, whether product-led or sales-led.

A Full-Time CMO Is Premature

You need senior strategy now, but a full-time CMO hire is hard to justify before the next round. A Fractional CMO gives you the thinking without the headcount.

What You Get

What a Fractional CMO Actually Does for a SaaS Company

A Fractional CMO is a senior marketing executive who works with your SaaS company part-time to own the growth strategy and lead execution. They sit on your leadership team and align marketing to ARR, without the full-time salary or equity.

  • Build the demand-gen or product-led growth motion and a 12-month roadmap
  • Own the funnel metrics: CAC, payback, conversion, pipeline, and ARR contribution
  • Sharpen positioning and messaging for a crowded category
  • Lead the marketing team, agencies, and freelancers
  • Build the reporting and systems so growth is measurable and repeatable
  • Align marketing to revenue and to the next fundraise
