Fractional CMO process:

Initial Analysis
We begin with a detailed review of your business, competitors, and current marketing efforts. This includes analyzing your strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities to identify key areas for improvement. By understanding your competitive landscape and existing strategies, we create a strong foundation for developing an effective, tailored marketing approach.

Planning Phase
Once the analysis is complete, we design a comprehensive marketing strategy aligned with your business goals. This involves identifying target audiences, setting clear objectives, and creating a roadmap for success. Our planning ensures your marketing efforts are data-driven, strategically focused, and positioned to achieve measurable results.

Implementation
During implementation, we determine the best way to execute the strategy. We evaluate in-house resources, identify areas that may require outsourcing, and assist with hiring new talent if necessary. Our focus is on ensuring the strategy is carried out effectively, using the right mix of resources to maximize impact.

Monitoring
We continuously monitor progress to ensure the strategy remains effective. This includes evaluating performance metrics, adjusting tactics as needed, and optimizing for better results. Additional support, such as budget analysis, resource allocation, and buying cycle evaluation, ensures your marketing efforts remain agile, efficient, and aligned with your evolving business objectives.

*Please note: Hiring us in a fractional CMO capacity, does not mean that your company has to hire Brick Marketing agency to implement. We are happy to work with your in-house or existing agency teams.
