    Where this tier fits
    What a Fractional CMO engagement actually is*

    A Fractional CMO engagement is a strategic partnership, not a fixed deliverable. Ali sits on your side of the table and does the marketing leadership work your team needs most — which varies quarter to quarter. The hour commitment is the boundary; the scope inside it is yours to direct.

    In practice, that usually looks like a mix of some or all of the following — weighted to whatever is most load-bearing right now.

    • *Commercial marketing strategy — quarterly plans, positioning resets, pricing, go-to-market work.
    • *Team leadership — mentoring internal marketing hires, interviewing candidates, building org structures.
    • *Vendor & agency management — briefing, coordinating, evaluating external partners.
    • *Board & investor reporting — marketing sections of decks, leadership updates, narrative framing.
    • *Cross-functional leadership — sitting in product, revenue, or ops meetings as the marketing voice.
    • *Founder partnership — weekly 1:1s, strategic thought-partnership, difficult-decision sounding board.
