Diagnose
Demand problems lead to a lack of sales opportunities and ultimately, a shortfall in revenue. We help diagnose demand problems and analyze what steps are needed to generate a consistent flow of sales opportunities to maximize profitability.
design
Especially in this uncertain environment, old strategic marketing plans need to be designed to reflect new economic realities. With a focus on data, plans are reworked to take advantage of current market conditions.
Deliver
When budgets are tight, you need a strategic marketing plan that will deliver tangible results. We coordinate internal resources and external vendors to deliver results quickly and efficiently, maximizing marketing spend.
How can a marketing strategist help your business?
Marketing is the engine that drives growth but it can be a complicated and expensive undertaking. Many companies simply don't have the time and resources necessary to execute a comprehensive marketing strategy, yet they still need new business opportunities to bring in revenue and grow.
A Virtual CMO or Fractional CMO is an experienced marketing advisor who helps design and execute strategic marketing plans on a part-time basis for companies needing marketing expertise. They are accountable for managing campaigns, increasing brand awareness, and improving lead generation.
When it doesn’t make sense to add the expense of a full-time marketing professional, SMBs can hire a marketing strategist on-demand for a fraction of the cost of a full-time employee.
Higher Return
In many companies, marketing is considered an optional expense because it’s not clear what value the efforts are producing. A Virtual CMO uses data to rationalize marketing investments and show direct impacts to the company's bottom line.
Improved Insight
A Virtual CMO designs plans and tracks performance based on metrics and analytics. With a clear understanding of what's working and what's not, a plan can be implemented within budgetary limitations to produce tangible results.
Efficient Execution
Coordinating the efforts of both internal and external resources is a critical function of a Virtual CMO. For campaigns to be executed efficiently, the right tools need to be implemented and resources deployed to get the most value from marketing investments.
Better Relationships
It costs five times more to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one. A Virtual CMO focuses on nurturing customer relationships and lifetime customer value. The goal is to keep customers satisfied and coming back for more!

Do you have a strategic marketing plan?
Too often, marketing takes a back seat to other priorities. Awareness fails to materialize, demand drops, and sales falter. Don't wait until it's too late to build your brand awareness and demand generation programs.
A Virtual CMO can help build out a comprehensive plan and implement specific programs designed to increase awareness and generate demand.

Businesses need to think strategically but often get so bogged down in the day to day that they don't take the time to develop an actionable plan for success. Without a strategic marketing plan, business activity can become reactionary and unfocused, slowing progress and limiting profitability.
