How A Fractional CMO Can Help You.
Full-Funnel Marketing system.
A Fresh and Complete Marketing System.
Our fractional CMO’s will identify the right marketing strategy for your business, ensure the right people are in place, streamline your marketing tools, teach the necessary tactics, and measure the right results.
Comprehensive Growth-First Strategy.
Most marketing agencies only focus on the “top half of the funnel” goals like brand awareness and lead generation. Unfortunately, this usually results in high risk, a huge digital ad spend, and leads you’re not sure how to nurture.
You’re a successful business owner. Unless you were accidentally successful (yeah right!), then one of the reasons you got where you are today is because didn’t settle for doing things halfway.
So, why would you hire an marketing agency that’s only focused on half marketing needs?
Our growth marketing team takes a comprehensive full-funnel approach that produces brand awareness, lead nurturing, revenue growth, and increased brand advocacy and loyalty.
Full-Scale Marketing infrastructure.
We'll Build Your Marketing Infrastructure.
Your marketing infrastructure is the collection of marketing collateral, people, processes, software tools, data points and customer journeys that are used to place your products or services in front of the right audience at the right time and on the right channels. Most of our clients, when they came to us, were missing both the pieces of a healthy infrastructure and the people to manage it. Our team can help them rebuild or even start from scratch to implement a healthy marketing infrastucture. Â
We'll Optimize Your Marketing Tools & Tactics.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary components of a successful brand?
Planning and Preparation
Planning is crucial – it gives you the ability to capitalize when an opportunity presents itself. If you are not ready for opportunity, your brand generally won’t reach its maximum potential.
Assessment and Monitoring
To prepare for and find new opportunities, assess your company’s strengths and areas for improvement with quarterly or annual surveys with your employees and customers. These recurring surveys will help you measure if impressions are changing over time. You can also conduct an audit of social and news media mentions to keep track of how and where you company is being talked about. For even more insight into what matters to your customers, consider monitoring for mentions of your competitors, too.
Methods for Addressing Feedback
Be open and receptive to customer feedback and concerns. Manage negative interactions if they occur. You can’t hide from your issues, so don’t ignore them. Complaints give you a chance to fix your brand – otherwise, it suffers in silence. Acknowledge issues, and fix what you can.
Consistency and Commitment
Consistency in tone, messaging, design and delivery are important as well. Good brands do what they say and deliver on their promises. The level of consistency you offer to your customers can help build trust and strengthen relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it better to hire a fractional CMO or outsource marketing entirely to an agency?
Our fractional CMO's work as an internal member of your team. This means that we're tied in with leadership meetings and work cross-functionally, coordinating across different departments quickly and easily.
This in-house role enables our CMO's to absorb and communicate high volumes of information otherwise very difficult to obtain or even know about, even with a partner agency or vendor.
Higher level of accountability. Our fractional CMOs have the responsibility of evaluating the overall success of marketing which means they are expected to have the same high level of accountability to the business as any other team member does. This includes the performance, cost efficiency, and efficacy of agency partners or vendors of the business.
Removes any conflict of interest. There’s also no conflict of interest in resource management as the head of marketing can objectively decide what work can be done in-house and look to save budget, whereas some agencies may suggest work be done externally to increase their scope of work.Â
Are your fractional CMO services delivered in-person or virtually?
All companies are different. At King Creative Co., we use a hybrid model and work with our clients both virtually with through in-person visits.Â
For most of our clients, our time is split almost exactly 50/50 between in person and virtual meetings for the numbers of hours we've agreed to be available. However, some clients have different preferences and we can accommodate those as well.
Our clients seek growth and the right company to lead them on a journey towards predictable lead generation. As shared earlier, we work in a pod-like structure. That’s a different model than one person per account, which is more conducive to regular, weekly in-person interactions.
