Definitions
What is a fractional CMO or CRO?
An experienced marketing or revenue executive who leads your function part-time — building the strategy, running execution, and owning the outcome.
The same accountability as an in-house executive, sized to what your company actually needs right now. No twelve-week search, no ramp-up quarter, no seven-figure package for a role you need at sixty percent.
Most companies do not have a marketing problem or a sales problem in isolation. They have an alignment problem between the two — and that is exactly what we are placed to fix.
The CMO owns
Brand, positioning, demand generation, and the marketing organization — the machine that creates and captures interest.
The CRO owns
The full revenue engine — sales, marketing alignment, and customer success, under one number and one accountable leader.

Questions
Common questions
The seven we get asked before every first conversation.
What does it mean to be a fractional CMO or CRO?
It means leading the marketing or revenue function part-time or on contract, with the same strategic ownership and accountability as a full-time executive.
What's the difference between a fractional CMO and a fractional CRO?
A CMO owns marketing strategy and demand generation. A CRO owns the full revenue engine — sales, marketing alignment, and customer success.
How is this different from hiring an agency or consultant?
An agency executes campaigns you hand them. A consultant advises from the sidelines. A fractional executive sits in the seat, sets the strategy, and is accountable for it landing.
What does a fractional CMO or CRO cost?
It scales with scope — a full embedded engagement, an interim leadership role, and a project-based initiative all price differently. We recommend the model during assessment.
How quickly can I see results?
Most engagements show measurable movement within the first 90 days, usually through the 100-Day Accelerator.
Does Mahdlo work with my industry?
