If it's a fit, you'll pick a time to talk with Mark directly.Growth companies in Seattle and Spokane are up against better-funded national competitors for every deal and every hire. Winning takes more than campaigns; it takes one owner for positioning, pipeline, and the numbers. For Washington businesses, a fractional CMO is that owner - at a fraction of a full-time hire.
Pricing is simple and month-to-month: $5,000 to $15,000 depending on how much of the marketing function you need led. For a agriculture or technology business in Seattle, that buys a CMO-level operator two to three days a week - strategy, demand, team leadership, and board reporting - not another agency retainer.
The Washington market rewards specificity. A go-to-market plan built for technology, aerospace, and agriculture - the sectors that actually drive this state - beats a national playbook every time. That is the difference between activity and pipeline, and it is what a fractional CMO is accountable for here.
MarkCMO serves Washington companies from Seattle to Tacoma, primarily remote with in-person availability for strategy sessions and board presentations. The result is one senior operator accountable for marketing across your whole Washington footprint.

How Marketing Works for Washington's Key Industries
- Technology. Technology and software companies live or die on category positioning and pipeline efficiency, so the CMO work is sharp messaging, product marketing, and a demand engine tied to CAC and payback.
- 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.

What Fractional CMO Actually Involves
A fractional CMO engagement for a Washington business is not advice on a slide; it is hands-on ownership of the marketing function - strategy, demand, team, and reporting - built for how Washington companies actually win. 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.
- Team and Agency Leadership - Manage your marketing team, agency partners, and freelancers with clear KPIs, accountability structures, and weekly operating cadences.
- Board-Level Reporting - Produce monthly pipeline and revenue attribution dashboards that give your board and investors a clear picture of marketing ROI.
- Strategic Planning - Own the annual marketing plan, budget cycle, OKRs, and the narrative that ties marketing investment to company revenue goals.
- Hiring and Org Design - Build the marketing org structure -- full-time hires, fractional specialists, and agency relationships -- scaled to your stage and budget.
- M&A and Fundraise Readiness - Build the marketing infrastructure and track record that supports higher valuations at fundraise or exit.
Who This Is Right For
Any Washington company from $1M to $100M where marketing has outgrown the founder but a $300K full-time CMO is premature: technology and agriculture teams that need strategy and accountability, and organizations already spending on agencies that are not tied to pipeline.
