Fractional CMO for Medical Devices
A fractional CMO for medical device companies leads marketing through long, regulated, multi-stakeholder sales cycles, clinicians, procurement, and administrators. Part-time senior leadership runs $5,000 to $15,000 per month.
The medical devices marketing challenge
Medical device buying involves clinical evidence, FDA context, hospital procurement, and multiple decision-makers. Marketing must arm the sales team with clinical proof, KOL relationships, and stakeholder-specific messaging, not run generic campaigns.
The metrics that matter: Sales-qualified opportunities, clinical evidence engagement, KOL and reference activity, and influence on procurement cycles.
Who buys, and how they decide

If it's a fit, you'll pick a time to talk with Mark directly.A device sale clears clinicians who judge evidence, a value-analysis committee that judges cost, and administrators who judge risk, often over many months. Marketing does not close these deals; it arms the sales team with clinical proof, KOL validation, and stakeholder-specific messaging that moves each gate.

First 90 days: map the buying committee and its evidence bar, build clinical and economic proof assets for each stakeholder, and activate KOL and reference relationships, then enable sales with messaging tuned to clinicians, procurement, and administrators.
