Common questions about working with a Chicago fractional CMO.
What is a fractional CMO?+
A fractional CMO is a senior marketing executive who works with your business part-time. Instead of hiring a full-time CMO, you get the same strategic leadership for $1,500 to $4,000 a month.
How much does a fractional CMO cost in Chicago?+
My retainers start at $1,500 a month for 15 hours of strategy and execution. Most businesses choose the Growth tier at $2,500 a month. Every tier is month-to-month with no contract.
Do you meet in person in Chicago?+
I'm based in Austin now. In-person kickoffs in Chicago are possible on a scheduled basis. Ongoing work runs remotely through video calls, shared dashboards, and email, which is how most of my engagements already work.
What industries do you work with in Chicago?+
I work across 12+ industries including construction, healthcare, legal, real estate, restaurants, nonprofits, manufacturing, and B2B services. The strategy frameworks apply across verticals. What changes is the targeting and messaging.
How is this different from a Chicago marketing agency?+
At an agency, a junior does the work and a senior presents the report. With me, the senior strategist does both. No handoffs, no account managers, no layers. And at $1,500 to $4,000 a month instead of $10,000 or more, your budget goes further.
