Fractional CMO in Austin.
Senior marketing strategy, direct.
I moved to Austin in 2026 after years running strategy for $5M+ companies at a national agency. By Callan is how Austin businesses get that same thinking without the agency layers. One strategist. Month-to-month.

Questions about working with an Austin fractional CMO.
What does a fractional CMO cost in Austin?+
My retainers are $1,500, $2,500, and $4,000+ per month, depending on hours and scope. Every tier is month-to-month with no contract. I also do hourly work at $100 an hour and a $97 site audit if you want to start small.
Full breakdown of fractional CMO costs →Do you meet in person in Austin?+
Yes. I do kickoffs and quarterly reviews in person around Austin. Ongoing work runs remotely through video calls, shared dashboards, and email, which keeps your budget on execution instead of drive time.
What size business do you work with?+
Typically businesses under $5M in revenue that are building a real digital foundation. You have customers and a budget, but no marketing team and no one owning the strategy. That is the gap I fill.
How is this different from an Austin marketing agency?+
At an agency, a junior does the work and a senior presents the report. With me, the senior does both. No handoffs, no account coordinators, and your budget goes to execution rather than overhead.
Fractional CMO vs. agency →Do you work outside Austin?+
Yes. I work with businesses across Texas and nationwide. Everything runs remotely by default, so location only matters for in-person kickoffs.
How fast can we start?+
Kickoff happens within a week of the strategy call. Week one is access and a baseline audit, week two is the plan, and execution starts by week three.
