Fractional CMO — common questions
How much does a fractional CMO cost?
Typical rates run $90–$220 per hour, or a monthly retainer for a fixed number of days per week. Compare that with a full-time CMO package plus equity — most teams save 60–80%. Billing is in INR at checkout.
What's the difference between a fractional CMO and an agency?
An agency executes channels; a fractional CMO owns strategy, budgets, hiring and results — and directs your agencies. Most companies use both: the CMO sets direction, the agency executes.
How many days a week do fractional CMOs work?
Most engagements are 1–3 days a week, adjusted quarter by quarter. You set days-per-week in the brief and executives apply with their availability.
