Clarity before campaigns. Strategy before spend.
OperativeGrowth runs your marketing function end-to-end — strategy, channels, analytics, and execution — for a fraction of a full-time CMO.
What's included
Strategy you can actually run
A real 90-day marketing roadmap with channels, budgets, and KPIs — not a 40-page deck.
Hands-on execution
We don't just advise. We ship the site, the campaigns, the analytics, and the content.
One operator, one bill
Replace 3–4 specialist freelancers and a $15K/mo agency retainer with one accountable partner.
Built for small business economics
Flat monthly pricing, no annual lock-in, and we cancel ourselves once you can hire in-house.
What we own for you
- • Quarterly marketing strategy and budget
- • Website, SEO, and analytics stack
- • Paid acquisition (Google, Meta, programmatic)
- • Influencer and PR partnerships
- • Email, lifecycle, and CRM
- • Monthly reporting against revenue KPIs
Frequently asked
What is a fractional CMO?+
A senior marketing leader who runs your marketing part-time — strategy, channels, hiring, and reporting — for a fraction of a full-time CMO salary ($200K+/yr).
How is this different from an agency?+
An agency executes tactics. A fractional CMO owns the entire growth function: strategy, vendor selection, analytics, and team building. We do both — strategy and execution under one roof.
Who is this for?+
Small businesses doing $250K–$5M/yr who need senior marketing leadership but can't justify a full-time hire yet.
How long are engagements?+
Month-to-month after a 90-day kickoff. Most clients stay 9–18 months, then transition us out as they hire internally.
What does it cost?+
Engagements start at $3,500/mo. We scope the exact number on the strategy call after we understand your stage and goals.
