What does an outsourced CMO do?

The role of a part-time marketing director

Many small and medium-sized business owners know their marketing deserves better. But a full-time senior marketing director is a lengthy recruitment process, a high salary, and a risk if the position is poorly suited to their role.

 

The part-time CMO, also called an outsourced or fractional CMO, addresses this need. A senior marketing director integrates into your company for one or more days a week. They define the strategy, set priorities, manage actions, and measure results.

 

You retain control over the decisions. We provide perspective, methodology, and execution.

The responsibilities of your part-time CMO

Audit, strategy & marketing priorities

Audit of your current situation, identification of priority levers, 90-day action plan. No theoretical strategy: everything is tailored to your objectives and budget.

Operational management of your marketing projects

Social media ads, email marketing, content creation, branding, SEO, branding. We activate the right channels at the right time and manage your marketing on a daily basis.

You don't have to follow every detail: we keep you informed of what matters.

We coordinate your tools, your teams, and your key moments

Which marketing solution should I choose?

Freelance, consultant or part-time CMO: which to choose?

Three profiles, three different needs. The freelance marketing professional focuses on specific short-term tasks, while the marketing consultant provides strategic solutions without getting involved in day-to-day execution. The part-time CMO combines the advantages of both, offering strategic and operational expertise over the medium to long term, with deep integration within the company. And all without the costs and constraints of a full-time position.

Who is the part-time CMO offer aimed at?

This is for you if...

✔︎ You have a business that's running smoothly, but your marketing lacks structure and consistency.

 

✔︎ You've tried to manage everything on your own and you know that's no longer enough.

 

✔︎ You want to accelerate your visibility and sales without recruiting immediately.

 

✔︎ You are looking for someone who understands both strategy and brand image.

 

✔︎ You need someone who is truly involved, not someone who sends you a report once a month.

This isn't for you if...

✘ You are only looking for someone to perform tasks without thinking about strategy.


✘ You want to validate everything in detail without leaving any room for expertise.


✘ You are not ready to dedicate 1 to 2 hours per month to reviewing things together.

One day a week dedicated to your brand. Flexible support tailored to your needs and priorities, which can evolve to several days a week.

Frequently Asked Questions about Part-Time CMOs

A consultant analyzes and makes recommendations on an ad-hoc basis. We do both and remain involved to implement the strategy, manage daily operations, and adjust everything over time.

Our outsourced CMO support starts at €1,500 excluding VAT per month for one day per week, including a free marketing audit. We begin with an initial 3-month cycle, including a 1-month trial period, to establish the strategy, activate the right levers, and measure the initial results. By comparison, a full-time marketing director represents a salary, social security contributions, and several months of recruitment costs.

Between 1 and 2 hours per month for follow-up points.

Yes. We can start with a 360° audit for €950 excluding VAT, with no obligation, to lay the groundwork before moving to monthly support. If we work together on a part-time CMO basis, the audit fee will be deducted from the first invoice.
