Service // Fractional CMO

Marketing is a P&L. Treat it that way.

A fractional CMO with full P&L history brings discipline to your acquisition, retention and brand spend. Cut waste, lift EBITA, scale what actually compounds.

Niklas Lindahl, fractional CMO
Hire a fractional CMO when
  • 01.Marketing-to-revenue ratio is creeping up and no one can defend it.
  • 02.Brand is fragmented across markets, agencies and channels.
  • 03.Performance team is busy but not moving the needle on EBITA.
  • 04.CAC, LTV and payback are debated more than they are measured.
  • 05.Pre-sale due diligence requires a defensible growth story with numbers behind it.
What the engagement covers
  • 01.End-to-end marketing P&L: SEO, SEM, social, affiliate, programmatic, CRM, brand.
  • 02.Budget reallocation: zero-based, ROI-tested, quarter by quarter.
  • 03.Team design: who, why, where. Hire, restructure, promote.
  • 04.Country leadership: Country Managers and General Managers under one playbook.
  • 05.Data-driven cadence: analysts embedded in leadership, decisions in writing.
  • 06.Partnerships at scale: global sports, content and channel deals when they pay.
