Fractional marketing leadership
Senior marketing direction without creating a full-time role.
For businesses with people or vendors doing the work, but no clear owner connecting the strategy, priorities, and performance reviews.
Leadership is different from more production.
A fractional CMO provides part-time marketing leadership within an agreed scope. The role may cover planning, prioritization, vendor coordination, and performance reviews. It does not automatically include running every campaign or replacing an entire marketing department.
Skyfall’s approach starts with the decisions that lack an owner. We define responsibilities, availability, escalation paths, and the work that remains with your team.
Where fractional support can help
- The owner is still coordinating every marketing decision.
- Your SEO, website, and advertising providers are working toward different priorities.
- You have activity reports but no shared definition of a good lead.
- Your team needs a practical roadmap and regular review cadence.
- You are deciding whether a permanent marketing leader is the right next hire.
Agree on the operating rhythm.
An engagement can include a marketing review, a prioritized roadmap, scheduled leadership conversations, and coordination with named team members or vendors. Specific hours, meeting frequency, response expectations, and deliverables belong in the written scope.
Useful review questions include: What changed? What did we learn? Where is the constraint now? Which decisions require the owner’s approval? What should stop?
Choose the level of support you actually need.
If you need a single diagnosis, an audit may be enough. If you need a defined plan rather than ongoing oversight, consider a strategy sprint.
Compare fractional and full-time marketing leadership before creating a role. We discuss fees after agreeing on responsibilities; we do not promise executive availability beyond the contracted scope.
