Fractional marketing leadership

    Fractional Head of Marketing for Growing SMEs

    Senior marketing leadership for the stage when your business needs ownership and direction, but a full-time Head of Marketing isn’t yet the right fit.

    Talk to Activ8

    Senior marketing leadership, without the full-time hire.

    A Fractional Head of Marketing works as part of your business for an agreed amount of time each month, bringing senior direction and ownership to your marketing without the commitment of employing someone full-time.

    A Fractional Head of Marketing could be right for you if:

    Marketing still sits with you.

    You're spending too much time making marketing decisions when you should be running the business.

    You have people doing the work, but nobody leading it.

    You may have employees, freelancers or agencies, but no one setting the overall direction.

    You're investing in marketing but need more clarity.

    You want to know where your time and budget should go and what your marketing is there to achieve.

    Your business is growing.

    You need senior marketing capability, but a full-time Head of Marketing doesn't yet make commercial sense.
