Fractional CMO

The operator who runs your whole marketing engine

The AI Studio apps deliver the work. A fractional CMO with two decades in B2B SaaS operates the entire suite as your marketing team — strategy plus every app, working the whole Market Leverage Matrix month over month. You get an operator, not another tool to manage.

Directed by the Market Leverage Matrix — the same diagnostic behind every AI Studio app.

Two ways in, one system

The apps are the parts. The fractional CMO is the operator.

CortexCMO runs on one engine. You can buy a single app from the AI Studio and drive it yourself, or bring in a fractional CMO to operate the entire suite for you. Same framework, same standard — you choose how much you want owned.

AI Studio · the parts

Buy an app. Get one deliverable.

Discrete, productized apps you can buy à la carte. Point one at your data and get a finished artifact back in days.

  • Each app produces one concrete deliverable
  • Buy exactly what you need — no retainer, no lock-in
  • Reviewed and signed off by a senior CMO before you see it
Best when you need one thing done fast — a GTM Audit, an SEO deep-dive.

One engine · the Matrix
Fractional CMO · the operator

Bring in someone to run all of them.

A fractional CMO operates the full app suite as your marketing team — plus the strategy, prioritization and judgment that decides which lever to pull when.

  • Every app run for you, in the right sequence, every month
  • Senior strategic direction, not just execution capacity
  • One accountable owner of the whole Matrix — board-ready
Best when you want the entire marketing engine owned end-to-end.

Inside the engagement

What your fractional CMO operates

One operator running the whole stack — the strategy layer plus every app in the Studio, live and on the roadmap. Not six services you assemble yourself. One system, worked across every lever of the Matrix.

The foundation

GTM Strategy & Positioning

ICP segmentation, messaging hierarchy, competitive differentiation, and a 90-day prioritized roadmap — grounded in your Matrix placement, not guesswork. This is the layer that directs everything else.

Content Engine & SEO

Full-funnel content that builds authority and organic demand — AI-produced at scale, human-edited for quality. Continuous SEO health monitoring keeps the domain climbing, not slipping.

Analytics & Revenue Attribution

Multi-touch attribution and pipeline analytics that connect marketing activity to revenue — so every Matrix score keeps updating as the GTM evolves, and every board number is defensible.

Market Research

On-demand competitive, category and buyer intelligence that sharpens positioning and raises your Market Gravity read — the demand side of the Matrix, instrumented and refreshed.

Demand Generation

Integrated paid, earned and owned programs built around pipeline targets, not vanity metrics. Run and optimized by the operator against your actual funnel — nurture, webinars, channel mix.

Who we serve

First, make sure we're the right fit

The fractional engagement works best for two kinds of B2B SaaS company. See which one sounds like you.

Founder-Led · $500K–$5M ARR

You're doing marketing yourself — and you know it's not enough

You have product-market fit and strong word-of-mouth, but you've hit a ceiling. You need a real marketing engine, not an agency that doesn't understand SaaS.

  • No dedicated marketing hire yet
  • Organic growth has plateaued
  • Pipeline is unpredictable
  • You want strategy, not just execution
This sounds like me
Series A/B · Lean Marketing Team

You have a team but need more firepower than headcount allows

You've raised, you have a small marketing team, but the to-do list is crushing them. You need execution capacity at scale without adding to burn.

  • 1–3 person marketing team
  • Board is asking for pipeline growth
  • Content and SEO are behind competitors
  • You need a force multiplier
This sounds like me
How to start

From free score to fully operated engine

Greg rebuilt our messaging and site so it actually matched who we serve, and gave us an honest competitive read we didn't have before. He also helped us find and ramp our new Head of Marketing, so none of it stalled when his hours wound down. I learned a lot from him personally. Worth every hour.
