Fractional CMO Services
Marketing Leadership for Centennial Law Firms, Tied to Cost-Per-Case
Most firms spend on marketing and cross their fingers. We bring the plan, mix, and tracking that trace spend straight to signed cases — and keep every vendor accountable to real outcomes.
The Short Version
What is a fractional CMO, and why do Centennial firms hire one?
A fractional CMO is an executive marketing leader who works part-time — owning strategy, channel mix, brand, lead generation, and the measurement that ties spend to signed cases. Instead of a full-time CMO — or letting an agency grade its own work, the firm gets a leader who owns the strategy, manages the spend, and is accountable for cost-per-case and return. We also future-proof your visibility for the new era of search: traditional SEO plus AEO and GEO so the firm turns up in Google, AI overviews, and assistant answers alike.
- A single owner on the hook for strategy, spend, vendors, and outcomes
- Measurement built on cost-per-case and return, not vanity numbers
- Coverage across SEO, AEO, and GEO as search goes AI-first

What firms typically see
Field Note
Two years of spend, zero attribution — then clarity
Illustrative of what this work tends to produce; details are representative.
Personal Injury · $14M revenue · high spend
Budget was flowing to several agencies with no clear read on which channels produced signed cases.
We connected attribution end-to-end, killed the dead spend, and reallocated to the winners.
Cost per signed case dropped sharply while qualified volume climbed — after years of flying blind.
