What a Fractional CMO Does for North Dakota Companies

North Dakota has one of the lowest unemployment rates and highest per-capita incomes in the US, driven primarily by energy production (Bakken oil formation), agriculture, and a growing technology sector centered in Fargo. Fargo has emerged as a legitimate Midwest tech hub - Microsoft, Amazon, and dozens of local startups and mid-market technology companies have established significant operations there. Grand Forks benefits from the University of North Dakota and a growing drone technology cluster. Bismarck serves as the energy, government, and financial services center for the western part of the state.

North Dakota companies between $1M and $20M in revenue increasingly compete in national markets for customers, talent, and investment. A fractional CMO provides the senior marketing direction needed to compete at that level without requiring a locally-based full-time executive.
