Our Clients Love Us, and They Tell the World About it

What Our B2B Clients Say About Us

“We highly recommend … Digital Authority Partners for your Fractional CMO and marketing needs. The professionalism and experience exhibited by Christal and the Digital Authority Partners team was excellent. Christal hit the ground running and kept running with all the marketing tasks. She acted as a great CMO – advised us and then executed when decisions were made, took the initiative to get the marketing projects completed, and laid out the entire marketing strategy for the company with minimal oversight. She really felt like part of the team, and she was. The DAP members also felt like part of the team as they contributed to the company through not just marketing services, but also introduced us to professional connections, contacts, and experience that benefited the company. … We further like that DAP’s CMOs were agnostic to service providers. She could and would recommend other service providers that she felt would provide the best solution to the company (vs pushing the company back to only use DAP). This gave us the warm and fuzzy feeling that she had the best interest in the company.”

Tyson Schroeder Vhanti

“Digital Authority has helped my company in a number of ways that will result in record profits. Being more "old school" in my thoughts, I did not understand the value of a digital partner until I met with Michael of Digital Authority. He explained the value, process, and expectations in a way that I could understand. Now I value the relationship and cannot imagine making marketing decisions without consulting with them. We lead with our digital footprint and outreach with all other mediums coming in a distant second. I give them the highest marks and hope they can help you as much as they have helped me.”

Mark Meyer CEO & Founder of E&M Strategic Real Estate

“Digital Authority Partners provided us with fractional CMO and analytics services. Great team and great work that added value to our marketing and analytics capabilities.”

Bijan Vafaei Head of Marketing at Wage

“What was most impressive about the team was their hands-on approach and accessibility — their president was always involved and ready to help throughout.”

Sivan Galinsky Chief Marketing Officer at Brinks, Gilson, and Lione

“Their knowledge in the space was very helpful in developing our marketing plan. Digital Authority Partners was very helpful in developing the our marketing plan. They were responsive, available, and seamless with both their communication and workflow. In the end, the team delivered their project on time with high-quality results.”

Zak Higson Executive Vice President of Signature Analytics

“We hired DAP to help us simplify our go-to-market messaging, launch a new website and provide a marketing operations framework we desperately needed. DAP was holistic in their treatment of our marketing operations, from the technology that supported our marketing engine to the messaging that was displayed on the website, to the ads we were serving, to SEO and our positioning in the market, DAP brought a wealth of expertise to the team that allowed us to put our best foot forward to our prospects and customers.”

Lizzie O'Rourke Vice President of Marketing at DecisionLink

“Digital Authority isn't the cheapest agency in Chicago. But it's the best, by far. After working with 3 other companies without any results, we tried them. We were a bit anxious to pay $10k/ month at the beginning - they were double the price of other companies. But, oh boy, they results were beyond our wildest expectations.”

B2B Fractional CMOs: Why Hire a B2B Fractional CMO for Your Company? Because Leadership Is Make-Or-Break.

A B2B fractional CMO is a seasoned marketing strategist with expertise in advanced sales and marketing strategies, specializing in guiding companies that market to other businesses. Our in-house experts have a proven record of assisting B2B organizations to expand and scale efficiently. Offering the strategic acumen of a full-time CMO without the associated six-figure cost, our CMOs are the perfect choice for growing B2B companies not ready for a full-time CMO commitment.

Strategy Planning: Great marketing doesn’t just appear out of thin air — it happens deliberately because of the excellent execution of a robust strategy. Your B2B fractional CMO can help you create that strategy, teach your team to execute it and give parameters for when to adjust it.

Market Research. Market Research Optimization: A B2B fractional CMO is instrumental in conducting targeted market research to evaluate and refine your offer’s market fit. This strategic process ensures alignment with market demands and identifies the most promising prospects, enhancing business outcomes.

Build Your Brand. Your brand is more than just your company name and logo. It’s your identity to the world — how people regard you when they come to know even a little bit about you. Brand-building is the process of influencing that process of recognition as quickly as possible, and your B2B fractional CMO can walk you through it.

Product Marketing. Relying solely on product quality can be a misstep, as superior products often lag due to weaker marketing. A B2B fractional CMO ensures that your high-quality offering is paired with equally robust marketing strategies, preventing it from being overshadowed in the competitive marketplace.

Digital First. There’s just no denying it — digital marketing is the most cost-effective way to get a message out and scale. While still versed in traditional marketing methodologies, your B2B fractional CMO can help you put digital marketing where it belongs — out in front.

B2B Fractional CMO
Frequently Asked Questions

What is a B2B fractional CMO?

“CMO” is an acronym for “Chief Marketing Officer.” A CMO is a top executive — part of the “C-suite” — that has final leadership responsibilities over all things marketing. A “fractional” CMO is a CMO that, instead of serving only one company, serves multiple companies on a part-time, contract basis, often at an hourly rate. “B2B” means the fractional CMO has specialized knowledge of B2B marketing practices. A B2B fractional CMO enables growing B2B companies to get experienced marketing leadership without paying for a full-time CMO.

Is a B2B Fractional CMO Right for My Company?

If your B2B company grows quickly, you may need more time to save. Your marketing team (if you even have one) may be in desperate need of leadership to make the most of the growth spurt. But many growing B2Bs don’t have the luxury of adding a C-level executive full-time, along with the six-figure compensation package. If this is the case for you, a B2B fractional CMO may be the perfect fit.

If you don’t plan to or are not ready to hire a full-time CMO but need the temporary or part-time services of a CMO, a Fractional CMO — basically a CMO who spends a fraction of their workweek helping multiple companies on temporary contracts — may be the way to go instead.

How Do B2B Fractional CMOs Work?

B2B fractional CMOs sign a contract with the client company for a certain number of hours per day or week over a set period of months. Schedules must be coordinated, including team meetings and accountability checkups with the marketing team and the rest of the C-level executives. The B2B fractional CMO may work on-site or remotely and will charge an hourly rate.

When Should I Bring in a B2B Fractional CMO for My Company?

It may be time to bring on a B2B fractional CMO if your company is growing rapidly, but you don’t have the budget to devote to a full-time CMO. CMOs can command compensation packages north of $260,000. You might not be there yet … but that doesn’t mean your marketing team doesn’t need leadership. Periods of fast growth are like “lightning in a bottle” — you don’t know when you’ll catch it again, and you want to make the most of your momentum while the getting is good.

A B2B fractional CMO is an affordable option to put a good head on the shoulders of your marketing team when it matters the most. The B2B fractional CMO may be able to put processes in place to keep the marketing team on track even after the CMO’s contract is over.

What Makes a Good B2B fractional CMO?

The best candidates for a B2B fractional CMO are marketing professionals with executive leadership experience and a specific track record of success leading B2B marketing efforts. The candidate should also be organized, decisive, able to think long-term and make big things happen quickly. After all, they won’t be there forever, so they need to make the most significant impact possible.
