Fractional CMO Services · B2B
Senior-level marketing,
without the full-time cost.
Senior-level marketing leadership to clarify strategy, guide execution, and build demand generation programs that support business growth. Momentum360 brings more than 15 years of marketing leadership experience across consulting, technology, and healthcare organizations.
What is a Fractional CMO
The CMO-level thinking your business needs: at a fraction of the cost
A full-time Chief Marketing Officer costs between $150,000 and $300,000 per year in salary alone — before benefits, bonuses, or overhead. For most growing businesses, that's not realistic. But going without senior marketing leadership means slower growth, inconsistent messaging, and wasted spend on tactics without strategy.
A Fractional CMO solves that gap. Momentum360 steps in as your embedded marketing leader — owning your strategy, aligning your team, managing your vendors, and driving execution — on a flexible monthly engagement that costs a fraction of a full-time hire.
You get the thinking, the experience, and the results of a seasoned CMO without the commitment or overhead of bringing one on full time.
Fractional CMO vs Hiring a Full-Time CMO
Benefits vs hiring a full-time CMO
Both approaches provide senior marketing leadership, but they differ in structure, cost, and flexibility. A fractional CMO gives companies access to experienced marketing leadership without the long-term commitment and overhead of a full-time executive hire.
