Marketing and sales are arguing over pipeline instead of hitting it

Meet Jose
Meet your growth-led Fractional CMO
Jose has scaled 150+ B2B SaaS and tech companies as growth.cx's fractional CMO.
Does he have an MBA in marketing from a highly prestigious B-school?
Well, no, Jose built his marketing expertise through hands-on experience rather than credentials alone. Yet he is a proven, growth-minded, experienced, growth-focused marketer who has learned marketing through experience.
With over 11 years of experience in marketing, he has created strategies that have generated high-quality leads and conversions. Not a fractional CMO for hire juggling a dozen logos. Jose owns one company's growth at a time.

A 100% Dedicated Fractional CMO, Not a Shared Advisor
Most fractional CMO agencies and CMO-as-a-service providers split their time across multiple clients, which can mean limited availability, shared resources, and slower decision-making when you need support.
One fractional chief marketing officer. One company. Full accountability. That's the growth.cx fractional CMO service.
Your fractional CMO is fully accountable for your marketing function: managing the team, executing deliverables, driving results, and analyzing what's working. Your fractional CMO does not just advise from the sidelines. They help run your marketing function with direct accountability.

Fractional CMO
The commercial model growth.cx uses. The label alone does not define dedication or accountability.
The label doesn't tell you what actually matters:
| What to Check | Typical Outsourced CMO or Agency | growth.cx |
|---|---|---|
| Accountable for | Multiple accounts at once | One company at a time |
| Role | Advises on strategy | Owns strategy and execution |
| Engagement length | Ends at your next full-time hire | Scales with you, long-term |
| Team structure | Rotates through a bench of consultants | One dedicated CMO who stays involved throughout the engagement |
| Industry focus | Generalist across industries | Exclusively B2B SaaS and tech |
| Execution | Strategy only, hands off to your team or another agency | Builds and runs GTM execution in the same motion |
| Availability | Scheduled monthly or bi-weekly calls | 24x7 accountable, direct Slack access |
| Pricing | Hourly or retainer-based, scope creep common | Flat rate, roughly ¼ the cost of a full-time hire |
What's included
Strategy and Execution in One SaaS Fractional CMO Engagement
Every growth.cx fractional CMO consulting engagement covers eight named services across four functional areas.
GTM Strategy and Positioning
Your fractional CMO owns market research, ICP definition, and product positioning, then builds messaging that holds up in a real buyer conversation, not just a pitch deck. It's the same strategic work a full-time CMO would do in month one, minus the ramp time.
Demand Generation and Channel Strategy
Channel selection and campaign sequencing get built around what's actually driving pipeline for your ICP, whether that's AI SEO, paid social, or outbound. Growth-focused prioritization means 2–3 channels receive meaningful budget and attention during the first six months.
Brand and Product Marketing
Brand management and product marketing don't sit in a separate silo. Your fractional CMO builds the narrative and product marketing assets in the same motion as the GTM strategy, so sales, content, and demand gen work from one story.
Marketing Team Leadership and Reporting
If you already have a marketing team, your fractional CMO manages it directly: setting KPIs, running reporting, owning budget allocation, and staying the single point of accountability for marketing's contribution to revenue.

FAQ
Questions before the call.
A fractional CMO is a senior marketing executive who provides CMO-level leadership without joining the company as a permanent full-time executive. Related engagement models include an outsourced CMO, interim CMO, part-time CMO, and CMO as a service.
A fractional CMO owns the marketing function end to end: positioning, channels, team, budget, and the pipeline number. At growth.cx, your fractional CMO also runs execution, so strategy never stalls in a handoff.
It describes how you pay, not how much attention you get. You get a fully dedicated CMO on a flat-rate model, without a full-time executive's salary, equity, or ramp time.
Fractional CMO cost at growth.cx is a flat rate, roughly ¼ of a full-time CMO hire, scoped to your stage and team. No hourly billing, no scope creep. Book a call for a quote.
A marketing agency typically executes specific deliverables, such as content, paid campaigns, SEO, or social media, while a fractional CMO owns the broader marketing strategy, prioritization, leadership, and accountability.
Most early-stage B2B SaaS companies aren't ready for a full-time CMO's cost or ramp time. A fractional CMO fits when you need leadership now but not yet a full executive hire. Companies typically move to full-time once marketing outgrows a fractional model.
A good fractional CMO consultant has direct experience in your specific vertical and stage, not generic B2B marketing experience. Ask what they've scaled, which channels they've owned end to end, and whether they're accountable for results or just advising.
B2B SaaS startups without a marketing leader. Scaleups with a team but no CMO-level strategy. Bootstrapped or funded companies that can't yet justify a full-time executive hire.
Long enough to validate a GTM strategy across multiple quarterly re-optimization cycles. Some extend indefinitely; others transition to a full-time hire once marketing outgrows the model.
Yes. growth.cx runs on an overlap-hours model built for US, UK, and India-based teams, with a dedicated GTM lead and direct Slack access.
No. growth.cx's B2B fractional CMO services are built exclusively for B2B SaaS and tech companies, not a generalist practice covering every industry.
