The Rockstar CMO Studio: 5 F’in’ Things About Fractional CMOs

This week, Jeff Clark, former Forrester Research Director, and our host, Ian Truscott, discuss what seems like the second biggest marketing topic right now, behind AI: fractional marketing leadership. 

The tables are turned as Jeff asks Ian for his 5 f’in’ things and they discuss:

1. Fractional is not Part-time  

2. The client wants to solve a problem not hire a fractional

3. Be purposeful fractional 

4. Be clear about the problem you solve

5. Flexibility is a feature, not a bug

As always, we welcome your feedback. If you have a suggestion for a topic that’s hot for you that we should discuss, please get in touch using the links below.
