Three roles, matched to the need

Fractional CMO

Broad executive marketing leadership when the company needs direction across strategy, priorities, budget, team, and business alignment. The leader works with company leadership and sales to turn growth goals into an executable marketing plan.

Core outputs

  • A marketing roadmap
  • Investment priorities
  • An operating cadence
  • A performance scorecard
  • A transition plan

This role fits when the need spans the whole marketing function.

VP of Growth

Temporary leadership focused on pipeline, demand, performance, and growth. This is an embedded role with agreed decision rights and responsibility for directing the relevant team and partners.

Core outputs

  • A pipeline plan
  • Coordinated channel priorities
  • A testing program
  • A performance review cadence

Use this role when the company needs someone to run growth work with VP-level scope. Advice without leadership responsibility belongs in custom growth transformation.

Digital marketing lead

Focused leadership for the website, search engine optimization (SEO), answer engine optimization (AEO), generative engine optimization (GEO), content discoverability, and AI visibility. The leader coordinates your internal team and specialists, directs the digital roadmap, and connects the work to pipeline and customer experience.

Core outputs

  • A digital improvement backlog
  • A release and content cadence
  • A visibility scorecard
  • Documented ownership of channels and workflows

How every assignment is defined

Each assignment states the sponsor, the leader’s authority, the weekly capacity, the term, the measures, and the handoff. We agree on who takes over early and train that person during delivery. Before the term ends, we review whether an extension is needed. An extension has a specific purpose and an end point.

Questions about leadership support

What is the difference between a fractional CMO and a VP of Growth?

A fractional CMO leads the whole marketing function, including strategy, budget, team, and alignment with the business. A VP of Growth focuses on pipeline, demand, and performance, with agreed decision rights over the relevant team and partners.

Will you work alongside our existing head of marketing?

Yes. The goal is to get the new system running, train your team, and transition ownership back to your marketing lead.

How long does a leadership engagement last?

Each assignment has a defined term, set when we agree on the role. We review the need for an extension before the term ends, and any extension has a specific purpose and end point.

How is leadership support different from growth transformation?

Growth transformation builds and installs the systems. Leadership support adds temporary decision-making and team direction when you need someone to lead the work. Many companies use the two together.
