Quick Answer

A fractional CMO is a part-time chief marketing officer who provides C-suite marketing leadership, demand generation strategy, and revenue accountability for growth-stage B2B companies -- typically at 30-60% of the cost of a full-time hire. Fractional CMO engagements run $8,000-$20,000/month with no long-term commitment, enabling companies at $1M-$30M revenue to access executive-level marketing expertise without a permanent C-suite hire.
