About us

A Virtual CMO, or vCMO, is an emerging role in marketing where an external consultant serves as an outsourced Chief Marketing Officer for a company. Learn more: https://growthstage.marketing As more businesses look to optimize their marketing operations, the Virtual CMO model has been growing in popularity. A vCMO (Virtual CMO) typically takes on the high-level marketing strategy and planning that a traditional CMO would handle. This can include developing marketing plans, managing campaigns and budgets, providing leadership for in-house marketers, and reporting on ROI. The role is typically retainer-based and extends for 24-36 months if not longer, to ensure full assimilation and a proper transfer to a traditional “full-time hire.” Virtual CMOs offer the experience of a Chief Marketing Officer and a strategic perspective without the cost and commitment required with a full-time hire. This gives startups access to high-level marketing leadership they may not otherwise be able to afford. It also allows larger companies to fill an experience gap and handle fluctuating workloads. Companies hire vCMOs when they need an interim CMO, have a strategic project requiring CMO-level guidance, need to fill a knowledge or experience gap in their marketing team, or want to test the CMO model before making a full hire. How do you find and select a CMO? Look for specialized experience relevant to your industry. Communicate your business goals and assess cultural fit. Ask for case studies and references to evaluate past performance.
