Frequently Asked Questions
A fractional CMO provides C-level strategic leadership—developing go-to-market strategies, board-level reporting, and cross-functional revenue alignment. Fractional marketing services encompass broader part-time marketing support, including managers, specialists, and teams.
Think of fractional CMO as the strategic leader within the broader fractional marketing ecosystem.
Traditionally, this has been an either-or choice: fractional CMOs provide strategic leadership but leave you coordinating execution, while agencies handle execution but often lack C-level strategic depth.
At Bread and Circuses, we’ve eliminated this false choice by combining both—fractional CMO leadership integrated with full agency execution capabilities. You get strategic oversight AND seamless implementation through one unified relationship.
For a detailed breakdown of traditional approaches and how our integrated model works, read: Should I Hire a Fractional CMO or Marketing Agency?
As your fractional CMO, I provide strategic oversight of all marketing functions but typically don’t execute day-to-day content tasks. However, Bread and Circuses can handle comprehensive fractional content marketing services alongside my fractional CMO leadership.
This means I provide the strategic direction while our content marketing specialists handle execution—all coordinated seamlessly through one relationship rather than you managing multiple vendors.
Unlike traditional fractional CMOs who develop strategies you must coordinate across vendors, we combine strategic leadership with the option of direct execution oversight through our agency services.
We don’t just create plans—we oversee implementation across content, SEO, paid media, and operations through one unified relationship.
