They may be politically inclined to say and do things that protect their job and keep you (as CEO) happy

Freelancer marketers :

1-2 weeks needed to find qualified freelancers fit for your role

Dealing with multiple contracts and payment schedules for different freelancers takes too much time

Individual freelancers may lack structured accountability leaving you to manage them and waste time

marketing agencies :

Rely on a single team’s narrow expertise on one channel

Contracts are often artificially long to meet their agency pipeline goals

Attention divided among several clients, might forget your name

FAQs - Let's clear the air

Who will be main point of contact when I start working with my CMO?

Your fractional CMO will be your primary point of contacted, once you’re fully satisfied with the match and begin your engagement.

As a bonus, our HireCMO team will be in touch with you and the CMO every 2 weeks to make sure you’re happy with the quality of work being delivered. We’ve got your back!

How many CMOs can I meet before deciding to go with someone?

As many as you need. Although, our team is well-vetted and generally you’d find your person after meeting 3 candidates.

How will you know which CMO to match me with?

Great question. Three steps.

1.       Our core HireCMO team will have a live conversation with you to understand what your startup’s goals are for the next 30-60-90 days and figure out how marketing can get you there.

2.       Then, we’ll set up a phone call between you and our CMO candidates who have a high chance of being the perfect fit.

3.       Once you both agree to work together, our team will email you some documents to electronically sign to get started!

Questions? Just send us a message in 8 seconds.

How long does the CMO match-making process take?

3-4 working days. Shorter if you share your availability (calendar link) proactively with us!

What happens if I'm not satisfied with my marketer?

If you are not satisfied with the CMO we picked for you, we will instantly find someone new to replace them.

We will work closely with you to find the person best fit for your team. There are no termination fees under normal circumstances.

Can I get a trial period with the matched CMO?

Yes, for 2 weeks. You will be charged for the CMO’s work, but will not be tied to a contract until you’re ready to work with them. No hidden fees.

Can you provide intros to agencies & non-CMO marketers too?

Our core strength is finding fractional CMOs. We also have relationships with vetted agencies who excel at SEO and paid ads.

Introduction to non-CMO marketers like a marketing manager, copywriter, etc. are made once you've worked with a CMO from our team.

How much time does it take for me to see positive ROI?

It depends on your budget, milestones, and commitment from your team. And every CMO's style is unique!

Typically, your CMO will reserve the first 30 days to do an audit of your business and team. The following 2 months is when the rubber meets the road. This timeline may be shortened with a healthy level of involvement from your team.

How do I know if I’m ready to hire a CMO from you?

Great question. Typically, the startups we can help the best already have product market fit and are making over $3M in annual revenue.

Being funded (by investors) is a bonus, but if you’re profitable and have a solid idea for how much you’d like to commit to marketing, we’re ready for you! Otherwise, send us a note here and we’ll help you figure out it.

What kind of CMO packages do you offer?

The nature/price of your work with us will vary significantly on your growth milestones.

Our fractional CMOs set their own rates based on their years of experience and time needed to support your goals.

There are two types of packages we offer:·

(1) On-demand CMO: $150USD+ per hour.

(2) Retainer: $3000USD+ per month.

What kind of experience do your CMOs have?

Our team of CMOs have had over 20 years of experience serving all industries except crypto and web3.

We love SaaS, DTC, eCommerce and others! If you have a special request, give us a shout here.

When exactly do I start getting billed for the CMO's work?

For the “on-demand CMO” package, you will be billed one week in advance, based on the number of hours you need with your matched fractional CMO.

For the “monthly retainer” package, you will be billed one month in advance. Do note that there is a 3-month minimum for the first retainer you purchase with us, and this will be a recurring monthly payment until you cancel.

Is there a minimum time commitment for your packages?

Yes, 2 weeks of commitment for our “on-demand CMO” package.

And 3 months of commitment for our “monthly retainer” package.

Reason being that your CMO can’t do their best work for you if they do not have enough time to see their efforts deliver results. And good results take time!

Can I pause and resume my payment to HireCMO at any time?

Yes, but we do require a 7-day cancellation notice for “on-demand CMO” and a 30-day cancellation notice for “monthly retainer” packages.

The reason for these long time windows is that your CMO creates a lot of material in preparation for their work with you, and having proactive notice lets us share that work in advance, so you can continue to scale without our help! :)

Where are your CMOs located?

Typically, our CMOs would work remotely with you. They are based primarily in the United States of America.
