Plenty of businesses reach a point where marketing needs a real leader, but the workload or the budget does not justify a full-time one. A fractional marketing director solves that. You get an experienced marketing leader who runs the function for a few days a month, on terms that suit you.
Through The Work Crowd, you can hire a fractional marketing director from a vetted community of senior freelancers and consultants. They join your team quickly, take ownership of the plan and get on with delivering it.
A fractional marketing director sits a level below a CMO, and that is the point. A CMO shapes board-level strategy. A director runs the day to day, owning the marketing plan, leading your team or freelancers, managing the budget and making sure the work actually ships.
For most start-ups, scale-ups and growing SMEs, that is exactly the level of leadership they need. Strategy that stays close to delivery, from someone who has done the job before.
A fractional marketing director fits well when you are growing faster than your marketing can keep up, covering a gap between permanent hires, or launching something that needs senior hands without a permanent salary. You get the experience of a full-time director at a fraction of the cost and commitment.
Our community spans the whole marketing mix, so we match you to a director with the right background for your sector and stage. That includes brand, growth, digital, content, product and communications leadership, across both B2B and consumer.
