What is a Fractional Marketing Director?

A fractional marketing director is an experienced marketing professional who works with a company on a part-time or contract basis, providing high-level marketing leadership, focused on specific projects or strategic initiatives.

Part-time engagement
Partnership on a flexible schedule, usually dedicating a set number of hours per week or month, rather than full-time.
High-level expertise
Bring extensive marketing experience and knowledge to the table, offering strategic direction and decision-making.
Cost-effective solution
By working part-time, companies can access expert marketing leadership without the cost of a full-time marketing director.
Scalability
A fractional marketing director can adjust their workload based on the company's needs, scaling up during critical periods and scaling down when less intensive marketing support is required.
Strategy and execution
Primary focus on developing marketing strategies, overseeing campaign implementation, and monitoring performance metrics, often collaborating with existing marketing teams.
