Fractional CMOs under $20,000 a month
14 firms and practitioners publish a fractional CMO fee under $20,000 a month. A published floor is the cheapest way in, read from each listing's own site; the role page carries the ones that quote instead. First on the list are CMOx, Altus CXO and Cresivo.
Fractional CMO retainers run about $4,000 to $15,000 a month, with $6,000 to $10,000 common for a $2M to $20M company; ad spend and agency fees sit on top.
