Companies have long outsourced creative marketing activities, but there is a new trend.
Companies have long outsourced creative marketing activities, such as advertising and promotion campaigns. But there is a new trend on the rise in which companies are framing out marketing strategy and analytics as well.
This trend is because outsourcing can save money and improve quality. Businesses can now bring seasoned marketing executives as Fractional CMOs to upgrade overall strategy and boost sales. Outsourcing can provide increasingly critical analytical marketing expertise that many companies lack, including experience with customer database management and analysis. A Fractional CMO can help lead the marketing strategy, inject the client's perspective into new product development, ensure that the company's intangible brand assets are carefully guarded, and engage a good customer base.
The need for analytical marketing expertise will only grow. Marketing, a discipline that was once principally creative, has become increasingly analytic as the traditional approaches become less and less active. Most marketing managers tend to be right-brain creatives with a soft spot for mass-marketing campaigns when what's needed are creative number crunchers with a fondness for the market of one.
That is why the new breed of Fractional CMOs can bring an analytical approach to shaping strategy and managing implementation. They become ringmasters who select, develop, and monitor an integrated network of experts that bring new capabilities to the marketing effort.
Of course, outsourcing one's marketing strategy is a big decision and isn't always the right approach for every organization. CEOs need to know if it is a good fit for their company. When used correctly, this model can bring plenty of value by putting your organization in expert hands. The key component is to understand your business needs, so you make the right decisions for the future growth of your company.
The bottom line is that a Fractional CMO can help you increase lead flow, build integrated sales and marketing processes, and gain more business by optimizing current customer acquisition efforts.
