How to choose the best Fractional CMO for your startup? Practical guide

Finding the Fractional CMO perfect for your startup is not just about seeking expertise. It's a strategic decision that can make or break your business. A good Fractional CMO not only leads your marketing, but also becomes an extension of your team, providing clarity, direction and results.

But how do you make sure you're choosing the right one? Here are the keys.

Define your business needs

Before you start looking, ask yourself this question: what does my company need right now?

  • Do you need a marketing strategy from scratch?
  • Looking to optimise existing campaigns?
  • Do you want to expand into new markets?

Having clarity will help you find a Fractional CMO with the right approach and skills to solve your real problems.

What skills should a Fractional CMO have?

  1. Born strategist: is not just someone who launches campaigns; he or she is someone who understands how all the pieces of the business fit together, from brand positioning to the sales funnel.
  2. Practical and agile approach: doesn't stop at ideas, it executes fast and measures, analyses and adjusts to make every euro count.
  3. Adaptability: has to move with you, adjusting to new challenges, budgets and opportunities.
  4. Multi-sectoral experience: Working with someone who has been in multiple industries is a plus. It brings fresh knowledge and a diverse perspective.
  5. Leadership and mentoring: is not just there to get the job done. He also guides your team, teaches them and ensures that everyone is aligned with the objectives.

Fractional CMO Skills


Individual consultant vs. specialised consultancy

Working with an individual Fractional CMO may be useful in the short term, but if you think about the future, a consultancy has much more to offer. Why?

  • Team behind the leader: It is not just one person; it is a team with diverse perspectives and experience.
  • Scalability: As your startup grows, a consultancy can adapt the services to your new needs.
  • Integral solutions: In addition to marketing, it can offer support in related areas such as sales or technology.
