What do fractional CMO services include?
Fractional CMO services provide senior ownership of marketing strategy, priorities, measurement, and team alignment. The Remarkable adds the execution layer. One leadership team establishes the baseline, tests a focused set of opportunities, and scales only what earns further investment.
Establish the baseline
We audit acquisition, conversion, retention, customer economics, measurement, and team capacity. Then we rank the opportunities by likely impact and how quickly each one can produce useful evidence.
Test the best opportunities
We choose a small number of channel and funnel tests. Every experiment has a clear hypothesis, owner, budget, success measure, and decision date.
Scale what works
We move budget and execution toward proven winners, stop weak tests, and turn the evidence into a repeatable plan the company can keep using.
Built for ongoing ownership
Fractional CMO engagements start at $8,000 per month. Scope expands with the channels, creative volume, and execution support your company needs. You get senior marketing ownership with the agency team required to move the work forward.
Why combine a fractional CMO with an agency?
Most fractional CMOs provide strategy and depend on your team or another vendor to execute it. Most agencies execute against a plan they did not create. The Remarkable combines both under a leader who has held the CMO title and owned the marketing number.
That changes the operating rhythm. The same people who identify the opportunity can launch the test, read the evidence, and adjust the plan. Strategy does not wait for a handoff, and execution does not drift away from the business goal.
Research from First Round Review makes the underlying point: the right marketing leader depends on the company’s stage. Fractional leadership fits when the need for senior judgment is real but the full-time executive role is not yet large enough.
What can fractional CMO leadership change?
At Hedge Fund Alpha, The Remarkable embedded as fractional CMO and helped turn a landing page into a broader marketing system. Revenue grew 30% year over year, AI content became 40% of new subscriptions, and email acquisition increased 70%.
“Before working with Alex, I didn’t really have a marketing strategy, just a landing page. We saw a nice increase in sales. Before, I wouldn’t have wanted to get on the phone with the head of business development at a $10 billion fund. Now I do and I’m able to make progress.”
