Capitalize on Strategic Marketing Implementation Services with a Fractional CMO
Successful implementation of a marketing strategy requires a comprehensive tactical marketing plan and close alignment with your core business growth objectives. But a great vision, even when combined with a solid strategic growth plan, is only as good as your company’s ability to execute the plan.
A Fractional CMO from Chief Outsiders, working as a part-time member of your management team, taps decades of executive management experience and contacts to provide access to just the right resources, getting things done with flawless execution.
Go-To-Market Strategy and Implementation
Your “go-to-market strategy” defines how your company reaches out to the marketplace to persuade and acquire customers. It includes a specific plan for targeting decision-makers and their influencers, defines key messages for each segment, and identifies the channels where they can be reached most effectively.
Apart from planning thoroughly, we ensure seamless execution through our marketing strategy implementation services. Your Fractional CMO from Chief Outsiders provides expert advice, direction, and hands-on assistance that gets the message about your product or service delivered efficiently to your specific target audience with maximum impact.

New Product Launch Strategy and Implementation
New products have the potential to bring new customers and increased revenue to your business. Developing a strategy for product launches, however, requires knowledge of the target customers, the channels for reaching them, the competitive and overall market environment, and an up to date working knowledge of effective marketing and communications tactics.
A Fractional CMO from Chief Outsiders helps to set goals, define metrics, and establish market penetration tactics that bring your new product to market successfully.
Channel Conflict Management
Channels help your company bring products into the marketplace where purchase decisions are made. But conflicts arise when channel partners struggle with competing priorities and make decisions based on their own best interests. Managing channel conflict requires being intentional and strategic and recognizing and respecting each channel and channel partner’s role and needs.
Your company can rely on a marketing strategist from Chief Outsiders to develop, support and encourage good channel behavior. This includes creating opportunities, as well as training, arming, and incentivizing channel sales teams, and maintaining a level playing field.
Return on Marketing Investment
The two primary categories of measurement in marketing include one for reporting and accountability to executive management, and another for operational management. The marketing strategist must demonstrate to peers and management that the marketing department is visibly and consistently bringing value to the company.
While senior executives are interested in “brand oriented” goals, they are driven by fiscal success. Marketing must be able to prove its worth by creating a healthy return on investment. A Fractional CMO creates a marketing strategy that builds engagement and drives conversions, thus contributing measurably to the bottom line.
