Rent a CMO

Rent a CMO: Senior Marketing Leadership On Demand

Renting a CMO means engaging a senior Chief Marketing Officer part-time and month-to-month instead of hiring one full-time. It is the same idea as a fractional CMO: executive leadership at $5,000 to $15,000 a month, no long-term contract.

The appeal of renting a CMO is flexibility, you get the seat and the accountability without a salary, equity, or a long commitment, and you can scale the engagement up or down as the business changes.

MarkCMO is exactly this: a rentable, senior CMO in the seat, accountable to revenue, cancel any time.
