Your Fractional Chief Marketing Officer
Strategy That Scales + Execution That Delivers

From local domination to national expansion, we’ve got the playbook.
What exactly is a
Fractional CMO and
why do you need one?
In a world of rapid digital shifts and tight budgets, growing businesses need top-tier marketing guidance, but hiring a full-time CMO can cost $250k+ annually. That’s where a Fractional CMO shines: part-time executive expertise tailored to your goals.
At Spectruss, we’re not just advisors, we’re doers. Our Fractional CMO service pairs senior strategy with seamless execution through our 14-year-old full-service agency. Whether it’s dominating local search or scaling leads nationally, we’ve powered massive growth for clients in home services (like 7x revenue jumps), healthcare, and professional services.
A full-time CMO typically costs about $250k annually, compared to roughly $72k–$156k for a fractional CMO
