What does a fractional CMO do?

A fractional CMO is a part-time chief marketing officer. As your fractional CMO, Y Not You audits where your marketing money goes and what it returns, sets a strategy tied to revenue instead of likes and impressions, and stays accountable to the results month after month. You get senior marketing leadership at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

Who is a fractional CMO for?

Business owners who have hired agencies or run marketing themselves and still can't say what it brings back in revenue. It fits a business that's ready to treat marketing as a business function. It isn't the right fit if you only want someone to post for you, run an ad account, or grow follower counts.

How is a fractional CMO different from a marketing agency?

An agency carries out the tactics you hand it. A fractional CMO decides where your marketing dollars go and what each one is supposed to return, then holds the work to that number, whoever is doing it. Y Not You sits at your table as the one accountable for what marketing returns.

What happens in the first 90 days?

Days 1-30, an audit of your spend, channels and what they return. Days 31-60, a strategy and roadmap tied to your growth goals and your team's capacity. Days 61-90, the strategy is put to work and the first results are reviewed. After that, Y Not You stays on as your advisor, refining the strategy each cycle.

A quick gut check

Sound familiar?

Tap everything that hits close to home. Be honest, nobody's watching.

We've hired agencies before. The reports looked great. Revenue didn't move. Someone posts for us, but nobody can say what it brings back in revenue. Our marketing budget is a guess, not a strategy. I couldn't tell you what a new customer actually costs us. Every quarter starts with new tactics and ends with the same results.

Check any that hit close to home. Let's fix it

The Problem

Nobody at your table is accountable for what marketing returns.

You've hired agencies. You've tried running it yourself. But the number you care about, actual revenue tied to marketing, isn't moving the way it should.

The problem usually isn't effort or budget. It's that no one is deciding where your marketing dollars go and what they're supposed to return.

That's what a CMO does.

The Fix

An operator with a seat at the table. Not another report.

We embed ourselves as your Fractional CMO. We review where your spend is going, what it's returning, and where you're leaving revenue on the table. Then we build a strategy tied to your actual growth goals, not vanity metrics.
