The gap

Growing companies need a marketing leader. Not always a full-time one.

Between a junior marketing hire and a full-time CMO there is a gap. Agencies execute, but nobody senior owns the strategy, the budget and the numbers the board asks for.

NO OWNER

Strategy without leadership

Activity is coordinated. The outcome is not owned by anyone with the seniority to change it.

NO TRUST

Numbers nobody believes

Marketing and sales look at different data, so pipeline contribution is argued rather than reported.

NO FIT

Vendors that do not connect

Agency, CRM, search and website each have a supplier, and none of them answers for the whole.

Common questions

Before you book a call.

A fractional CMO is a senior marketing leader who works with your company part time. They own the marketing strategy and budget, lead the team and vendors, and report results to the board, without the cost of a permanent executive hire.

Marcutive is led by Asif Muhammad, a Chartered Marketer with more than 25 years in marketing leadership at enterprise technology companies including Microsoft, IBM, NetApp, UiPath and Oleeo.

We work with technology companies and private equity backed businesses, starting in the UK and expanding to the Gulf and North America. Engagements suit companies that need senior marketing leadership without a full-time hire.

An agency executes against a brief. Marcutive writes the brief, owns the strategy, manages the agencies and is accountable for the commercial outcome, with HubSpot, search and web specialists inside the same engagement.

We do not publish prices because scope varies. After a discovery call we send a written quotation that states exactly what is included.
