A virtual CMO is a highly experienced marketing and business person who applies their skills to your business on a part-time basis: giving you access to high level strategic skills with little to no risk. Do you have marketers in-house, but no department head? Let me manage your team, lead strategy sessions, oversee and develop your marketing budget, and do everything else that a department head would be responsible for. As a Virtual CMO, I work part-time in partnership with you and your marketing staff to provide the strategic marketing insights, direction and support you need.Without the risk.
1.It’s expensive: hours of resume reviews, interviews, contract negotiations.
2. It’s risky: hiring the wrong person is difficult to correct.
3.Candidates are scarce.
4. Candidates lack experience: the people you do find lack the senior experience you need.
5.Candidates leave quickly: after a year or two you’re back where you started.
A virtual CMO gain more autonomy over their work. They can provide specific services to specific brands, based on what those brands need. While the scope can change and evolve over time, a CMO who enters into this kind of arrangement will know exactly what duties they’re expected to fulfill because it’s written out in a contract.
On the organisation’s side, CEOs who have struggled to find a full-time CMO they trust can contract a virtual CMO to carry out specific duties and oversee specific marketing needs—without the stress of finding and paying a full-time executive. Then, when you’re large enough to hire a full-time CMO, your Virtual CMO will help you find the right person.
