The Short Version

What is a fractional CMO, and why do Norwalk firms hire one?

A fractional CMO is an executive marketing leader who works part-time — taking the strategy, channels, brand, lead gen, and attribution off your plate. Rather than a full-time hire, or an agency marking its own homework, the firm gets a leader who owns the strategy, manages the spend, and is accountable for cost-per-case and return. And we get the firm found as search shifts to AI: traditional SEO plus AEO and GEO so the firm shows up wherever clients now look.

  • One accountable owner for strategy, budget, vendors, and results
  • Metrics that track cost-per-case and ROI, not clicks and impressions
  • Visibility across SEO, AEO, and GEO for the new search landscape
