Frequently asked questions

Common questions.

How much runway do I need to hire a fractional CMO?

There is no sensible universal runway figure. You need enough runway to act on the decisions the engagement produces, not just pay for advice. If the business cannot fund any meaningful GTM activity afterwards, senior marketing leadership alone will not solve the constraint. We will say that before recommending an engagement.

Should I hire a full-time head of marketing instead?

Hire full-time when the role is clear, the workload is persistent and the business can support the right level of person. A fractional CMO makes more sense when you need senior judgement now, the model is still evolving, or an existing team needs leadership before you know what permanent structure to build.

Start with the GTM problem.
