The Problem We Solve

You Need a CMO But Cannot Justify or Afford a Full-Time Hire

Companies between 2M and 25M revenue consistently face the same challenge: they have grown past the point where a marketing manager can set the strategy, but the cost of a full-time Chief Marketing Officer — 250,000 to 400,000 in fully-loaded compensation — is prohibitive or premature.

The result is either no strategic marketing leadership at all, or leadership provided by a founder who has ten other priorities competing for their attention. Either way, marketing operates without the senior strategic direction it needs to drive predictable growth.

A Fractional CMO from BusinessGrowthArchitect provides exactly the leadership your business needs — at 20 to 40 percent of the cost of a full-time hire — with the cross-industry experience and AI-first strategic perspective that no single-company CMO can develop.
