The fit/
In writing.
- You spend at least $25,000 a month on marketing
- You pay an agency or two and can't tell if it's working
- You don't have a senior marketer on staff, or yours needs backup
- You want the score in revenue, booked jobs, enrollments, or tickets sold
The fine print/
In large print.
90 days/Then monthly.
The first 90 days are committed. That's how long it takes to fix tracking, set targets, and give an agency a fair test. After that it's month to month, with 30 days' notice.
Flat/Not a percentage.
My fee doesn't go up when your ad spend does. I have no reason to tell you to spend more. I take no commissions, markups, or fees from any agency or media vendor. If a software tool I recommend pays a referral bonus, I tell you in writing first, and you can always sign up without my link.
Media/Paid direct.
You pay ad platforms and agencies directly. I never hold your money or mark up your media. Approved expenses, like travel, are billed at cost.
Pricing/
Answered.
How much does a fractional CMO cost?
Published fractional CMO prices run from about $3,700 to $25,000 a month. Mine starts at $5,000 a month, flat, for companies spending $25,000 to $60,000 a month on marketing. A full-time CMO usually costs far more once you add salary, bonus and benefits.
How does your fee compare to my ad spend?
Plans are priced in flat bands by monthly marketing spend, so the fee usually works out to about 6% to 20% of what you spend. Your fee changes only if your spend moves into a different band, and only when we agree to it.
Can I buy consulting without a monthly plan?
Yes. Buy a single consulting hour or the fixed-fee agency audit. Neither one commits you to anything else.
Why a flat fee instead of a percentage of ad spend?
A percentage rewards spending more. A flat fee means my advice on your budget has nothing to do with my income.
Do you replace my agency?
No. I manage your agency. If it can't hit agreed targets, I'll recommend replacing it and run the search and the handoff.
Can I pay online?
Yes. Every plan on this page can be bought by card. Monthly plans bill on the same date each month.
