When it makes sense

Senior leadership when a full-time CMO doesn’t fit.

Growing companies often reach the point where marketing needs a leader, but a full-time executive hire is too slow, too expensive or too early. A fractional CMO fills that gap: someone who sets the strategy, directs the work and answers for the results.

01 / STRATEGY

Marketing strategy

Positioning, target markets, channel plan and budget tied to revenue goals.

02 / TEAM

Team and vendor direction

Lead your internal team and agencies so everyone works toward the same numbers.

03 / PIPELINE

Sales alignment

Shared definitions, lead handoff and reporting that marketing and sales both trust.

04 / EXECUTION

Hands-on when needed

Websites, SEO, video and campaigns produced by the Appture team under one roof.

Frequently asked questions

Questions buyers ask us.

What is a fractional CMO?

A fractional CMO is a senior marketing executive who works with your company part-time, usually on a monthly retainer, to lead strategy, direct the team and own marketing results.

How is a fractional CMO different from an agency?

An agency executes work. A fractional CMO leads the strategy and is accountable for results, including directing agencies. With Appture, you get both.

How much time does a fractional CMO spend with us?

It depends on your needs. We’ll recommend a level of involvement after the first conversation.

Do you work with companies outside Dallas?

Yes. We’re based in Dallas–Fort Worth and work with companies across the country.
