If it's a fit, you'll pick a time to talk with Mark directly.Most Kansas companies between $1M and $100M hit the same wall: they have outgrown founder-led marketing but cannot justify a $300K full-time CMO. A fractional CMO closes that gap - executive marketing leadership two to three days a week, accountable to revenue, across Wichita, Overl, and the wider Kansas market.
Engagements in Kansas run $5,000 to $15,000 a month against roughly $250,000 to $400,000 a year for a full-time CMO. Whether you are scaling a aerospace company in Wichita, opening a new Kansas segment, or repositioning against larger competitors, the work starts with the one or two moves that actually compound.
Marketing a aerospace company in Wichita is nothing like marketing a energy business elsewhere in Kansas - different buyers, different sales cycles, different competition. MarkCMO builds the positioning, demand engine, and channel mix around Kansas's real industries rather than a generic template.
Whether your team sits in Wichita, Overl, or Park, MarkCMO leads marketing as a single accountable executive - remote week to week, in the room for the moments that move the Kansas business.

How Marketing Works for Kansas's Key Industries
- Aerospace. Aerospace and defense contractors market under long procurement and compliance cycles, so the emphasis is thought-leadership, capability proof, and relationship marketing over volume tactics.
- Agriculture. Agriculture and agtech companies market to operators and cooperatives across a seasonal cycle, so timing, trust, and channel partnerships drive the calendar.
- Energy. Energy and oilfield-services companies sell to procurement teams and operators on long, relationship-driven cycles, so marketing is account-based and credibility-led, not lead-volume-led.

What Fractional CMO Actually Involves
When a Kansas company in aerospace, agriculture, and energy hires a fractional executive for the CMO role, they are not buying a deck - they are buying execution against a clear strategy built for Wichita, Overland Park, and Kansas City and the state's real buyers. Here is what every engagement covers:
- C-Suite Marketing Leadership - Operate as your Chief Marketing Officer on a part-time basis with full executive accountability for strategy, budget, and outcomes.
