In simple terms: fractional marketing is when you hire an experienced marketing professional or a full team without bringing them on full-time.
Instead of paying a salary, benefits, and overhead, you tap into top-tier marketing skills only when you need them. Whether that is a few hours a week, a set number of projects, or support during a big launch. Fractional marketing gives you flexibility without losing quality.
It is like having a senior marketing department on speed dial, ready to plan and manage campaigns without the cost or hassle of hiring in-house.
Why Businesses Love Fractional Marketing
