Lizzie O'Rourke
Vice President of Marketing at DecisionLink
★★★★★
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.

Executive Vice President of Signature Analytics
★★★★★
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a fractional CMO mean?
A fractional CMO, also known as a CMO-for-hire is a part-time executive consultant hired by mid-sized companies to set up a strong foundation for marketing success. This resource brings in the experience of a CMO without you having to pay the high cost of a full-time resource. Fractional CMOs have decades of experience, knowledge and skills leading marketing teams across the country. They help you lead and grow your marketing capabilities and initiatives on a part-time basis.
What does a fractional CMO do?
The first thing the fractional CMO will do is evaluate your current marketing strategies and initiatives as well as create your 12 month marketing roadmap. They will guide your team through execution of marketing tactics such as: marketing automation, email marketing, organic search, paid search, branding, PR, and content marketing. The fractional CMO will setup and monitor marketing KPIs in order to optimize campaigns.
Who should use a fractional CMO?
Without a marketing leader, it’s likely you are conducting random acts of marketing. If you wonder if your team is executing on the best tactics that generate the highest ROIs, there is likely a need for a fractional CMO. Companies of all sizes leverage fractional CMO experts in order to optimize their marketing spend, focus on the right marketing channels and tactics and create a proper process for measuring marketing ROI.
How much does a fractional CMO cost?
The overall hourly rates vary wildly depending on the industry you’re in, the agency you work with and the specialized nature of your product. In general though, most fractional CMO groups charge $250-$500 an hour. If you work in healthcare or fintech rates will be on the higher end.
What is a virtual CMO?
A Virtual CMO is the same as a Fractional CMO. Different industries adopted different terms for the same function over time. These terms then made it into the public domain. That’s why you’re now stuck with Googling “virtual CMO”, “CMO for Hire”, “Fractional CMO”, “Outsourced CMO” or even “Fractional Marketing Director.” All these terms refer to the same function: a marketing executive who comes in to assess your current company, marketing efforts and technology stack and then creates a plan of action on how to optimize your marketing spend.
What are fractional services?
Fractional services refers to the practice of hiring an expert consultant to fulfill a specific need you have within your organization without the overhead of a full time resource. This is an executive that works with multiple companies on a part-time basis, usually for a few hours up to 20 hours a week.
What is an interim CMO?
An interim CMO is slightly different than a fractional CMO – even if a fractional CMO can fullfil an interim CMO role as well. An interim CMO is an executive brought in, usually full-time, for a short period of time (less than six months) to manage a marketing department while a company is searching for a permanent replacement. Generally, companies will either temporarily promote an existing resource into this role or contract a fractional CMO company to fulfil this role so that a marketing department can continue delivering on specific tasks while the search for a permanent replacement is ongoing.
What should I expect from a marketing consultant?
A marketing consultant can help a company in a variety of ways over time. That includes go-to-market strategy, social media, SEO, PPC or content strategy. Marketing consultants will typically focus on a subject area, or division within a marketing department, and optimize their process, spend, and tactics in order to deliver a positive ROI for an organization.
