Your Marketing Integrators​

In a nutshell, a Fractional CMO is a seasoned marketing pro — who joins your leadership team without the full-time commitment or the scary executive salary. We come in, get to know your business, and help map out a marketing strategy that’s aligned with your goals (and drives growth)!

As your Fractional CMO, we build, organize, and lead your marketing team, and provide executive-level leadership. Think of us like a personalized marketing GPS: we help you figure out where you want to go, plot the route, and make sure the team has the support and resources they need. We’ll help build out your marketing department, create solid processes so things run smoothly, and manage all those campaigns and creative projects.  

And if you need marketing collateral or ongoing services — we help you source those resources. Basically: a Fractional CMO makes your marketing work smarter, not harder (and saves you a LOT of headaches along the way).

As a member of your leadership team, a Fractional CMO provides strategic oversight and ensures that your marketing efforts are getting results that align with your goals.

It’s our superpower. Just kidding… sorta. 

Even though we’re not with you full-time, we drive strategy and make sure your marketing team has everything they need to keep moving forward. We set up clear goals, metrics, and a regular meeting rhythm — so everyone knows what’s happening and what’s next.

Our goal is to bring structure and accountability, without hovering over your team’s shoulder like a creeper. We focus on the big picture, guide the strategy, and give your team the tools and support to drive growth for your business. Think of us as part coach, part friendly GPS, and all strategy — always there to help your marketing crew stay on track, even if we’re not physically in the office every day.

The Free Trials is just that—FREE. No strings, all strategy. We just ask that you let us know how you liked working with us in a testimonial in exchange. To give you an idea of the ongoing value, 8 SIGNAL’s Fractional CMO services are available at three levels to fit your needs and budget. Our Basic Level starts with up to 8 hours of strategy and support each week. Our top-tier package offers 16 hours with  one of our CMOs at the fraction of what it would cost to employ a full-time C-Suite seat.


If you need ongoing marketing implementation — like content writing or printed materials — we can help you source these or provide them through our Add-On Implementation Services.. We’re all about providing the exact level of service you need — no more, no less.

Give us a call, and we’ll create a plan to set your business up for success.

Think of an FCMO as your in-house marketing strategist — we join your leadership team, own the strategy, and see it through from start to finish. Agencies are great at executing a plan you hand them, but Fractional CMOs help create that plan, align it with your goals, and track the results to be sure it’s actually working.

In short: agencies execute; we lead and guide your marketing from the inside.

Ouch! That’s a little harsh, no? Just kidding, that’s a great question! At 8 SIGNAL, we thrive on the flexibility and independence of fractional marketing services. We love working with diverse industries and applying creative solutions to unique challenges. This approach allows us to have a broader impact on communities, helping more businesses grow and succeed than we could in a single, full-time position.

Here at 8 SIGNAL, we stand out with a unique and adaptable approach to marketing. Here’s how:

1. Strategy First: We believe a solid strategy always beats random acts of marketing every single time. We ALWAYS (always, always) start with strategy. Every project starts with a customized Marketing Blueprint, built around the EOS framework to keep your growth focused and strategic.
   
   

1. Well-rounded Experience With a Niche Focus : Our broad experience is tailored to deliver exceptional value to EOS-driven companies.
   
   

1. Leadership Beyond Marketing: As Fractional CMOs, plug into your leadership team, roll up our sleeves, and streamline processes to make sure everything is aligned with your business’s goals. We’re not just here to make the marketing department look good — we strengthen sales, processes, and help everything work smoother and faster. 

(*BONUS: We also run a full marketing agency on the side if you need to add on marketing collateral or on-going services.)

We’re not officially affiliated with EOS Worldwide, but we’re MAJOR fanboys. We’ve seen firsthand how the EOS framework keeps everyone on the same page, makes processes way less chaotic, and holds the team accountable. As Fractional CMOs, we love Level 10 Meetings because they’re effective, strategic, and actually help businesses achieve their goals.

We’re big fans of the Entrepreneurial Operating System, but you don’t have to run on EOS (yet, buahahaha) for us to work with you. In our marketing leadership, we use and modify EOS tools like Level 10 Meetings and Scorecards because we’ve seen how they help drive growth and meet goals. We like to say that we work with “EOS friendly” companies who recognize the value of our strategies. So we’ll bring the tools, you bring the goals, and we’ll make marketing magic happen.

Short answer: strategy is foundational for marketing success. 

Without a solid strategy, you’re basically heading out on a road trip with no map and hoping you’ll find your dream vacation spot (spoiler: it’s more likely you’ll end up at a shady gas station instead. Just sayin’). At 8 SIGNAL, we always start with strategy for a reason — it keeps your marketing focused and moving toward your goals, not just chasing the next shiny idea. There’s no shortage of distractions out there, but a solid strategy acts like your GPS, guiding every decision and action toward real results.
