Chief Product and Marketing Officer

Point Progress

A fractional CMO is someone who acts as the Chief Marketing Officer for your company but is hired as a contractor or consultant. Fractional CMO’s (or CPO’s for that matter) are working with several different companies at one time, much like freelancers or consultants do. They work for you a fraction of their time (hence fractional). 

But don’t let that scare you. 

A good fractional CMO is going to give your business as much attention as it needs.

-	Sunsetting one CRM platform … replacing it with a whole new CRM tool … if needed
-	Sourcing a new Prospecting tool … building outbound templates … if needed
-	Refreshing marketing lists or prospect information … if needed
-	Outsourcing the design of new sales & marketing collateral … if needed
-	Documenting the end-to-end sales process, encompassing all touchpoints … if needed
-	Eradicate ALL technical & content issues with the corporate website using the likes of MOZ … if needed
-	Kickstart your brand or Dynamic Search Ad campaigns say, with Google Ads …if needed
-	Drive double and triple digit growth across the Social Media channels … if needed
-	Shape the content for the restart of customer newsletters … if needed
-	Plug reporting gaps in management team or board level packs … if needed
-	Produce job descriptions for new sales & marketing hires … if needed
-	Chair meetings of the ‘Three Amigos’ when revamping the product development process … if needed
-	Train internal teams on how optimise their own LinkedIn profiles … if needed

Normally, a fractional CMO would not:

-	Write & send emails to customer lists
-	Draft & upload blog posts
-	Craft social media posts
-	Redesign the layouts of landing pages
-	Track detailed metrics across all digital channels

However, I worked differently on this assignment.

As a fractional CMO, I was there to care for the overall health of the business’s marketing.

As a Fractional, you get an executive-level partnership and an experienced leader who knows how to get things done.

As complex and challenging as the Technology & Transformation landscape and journey might appear, I see the same key business problems reoccurring and needing resolution.

Problem 1:
We have invested a lot of time, money, good will and effort into 'Big T' Transformation, but to date we have seen little or no delivery or business value. How can we resolve this?

Problem 2:
Although we claim to be a product-centred, customer experience led organisation, at times it feel like the Technology tail is wagging the dog. How and what can we do to course correct?

Problem 3:
We have dabbled with Agile ways of working. It has done little to improve transparency or momentum. What are the right tools, methods and practices we need to align on - to ensure we (a) improve Stakeholder trust and visibility (b) have a roadmap beyond the next few sprints (c) really understand and mitigate Enterprise risks

Problem 4:
Vendors often tell us we can remove all our legacy pain by investing in Shiny Saas Platform X. How can we be sure we won't just replace one hole in our Ops bucket with another?

Problem 5:
We want our squads and cross functional teams to act like One Tribe. We hear a lot about Product and Delivery guilds and chapters. What is the right Target Operating Model we need to adopt to truly accelerate collaboration, value, transparency and delivery value?

________

I am passionate about growing teams, helping individuals reach their potential, achieving flow, and building bridges across previously siloed functions.
