Fractional CMO Services:
Fix Strategy Gaps & Scale Your Pipeline
On-demand strategic marketing leadership for B2B without the high cost of a full-time executive.


A US-based B2B software development company struggled with fragmented marketing. To fix this, we:
| In-House CMO | Fractional CMO with 42DM | Independent CMO | |
| Strategic Leadership | 🟡 Full-time, costly experience Can get outdated quickly and hard to replace | ✅ Top-tier leadership, always current on B2B tech, flexible, cost-effective | ❌ Limited by solo capacity and often not up-to-date in fast-moving tech |
| Execution Oversight | ✅ Covers strategy and execution in one but is often stretched thin | ✅ Strategic + hands-on, full agency team supporting execution | 🟡 Helps execute, but lacks the backing and bandwidth of a focused team |
| Cost & Flexibility | ❌ Fixed salary model, zero scalability for changing needs | ✅ Fraction of the cost for enterprise-level expertise, resources, and backup Instantly scale support up/down as needed | ❌ May be cheaper upfront, but may have inconsistent quality and hidden “add-ons” |
| Integration | 🟡 Deep, but slow to adapt or shift focus | ✅ Guaranteed continuity, fast integration, and backup: every project gets institutional knowledge, documentation, and a dedicated team | ❌ Major gaps if unavailable; little knowledge transfer or backup |
