Why a Fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Makes Strategic Sense.
When to Consider Fractional CMO
-
You’re scaling and need experienced leadership without the cost or risk of a full-time executive.
-
Marketing is fragmented across teams or channels, and you don’t have a unifying strategy.
-
You're launching new products, entering new markets, or repositioning your brand.
-
You need a trusted advisor to bridge between the C-suite and your marketing execution team.
“Fractional CMO” is not part-time marketing — it’s senior-level oversight, accountability, and expertise deployed exactly when and where you need it.

Strategic Project Engagement
Gerrell Collective offers project-based marketing leadership and strategy services for organizations requiring focused, one-time initiatives outside the standard engagement structure. Each project is evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure alignment with client objectives, desired outcomes, and available resources.
These engagements often include initiatives such as market expansion, brand repositioning, merger or acquisition integration, campaign development, or strategic communications planning. Project scope, deliverables, and pricing are customized to the client’s needs and formalized through a dedicated agreement or addendum.
This flexible model allows organizations access to senior-level marketing expertise for high-impact priorities—delivering clarity, execution, and measurable results, without the long-term commitment.
