Starring... Fractional CMO Greg Jerum
Attention CEO's and Founders...
Are you frustrated with fractional CMO finder services and agencies?
Two biggest problems with fractional CMO finder services and agencies...
- 1Finder Services: On the front end all the glossy pictures of seemingly high flying super stars with fancy back stories sound enticing. But, the problems start almost immediately when it becomes obvious that your hire is nothing more than a glorified consultant offering pat marketing advice.
- 2CMO Agencies: Are great at pitching splashy ideas and throwing around fancy words, but when it comes down to it they are just offering a one size fits all “proprietary" process. For them it's more about propping up their consulting revenues than truly solving your unique challenges.
If you are ready to move beyond consultants into true partnership then keep reading below…
Hi, my name is Greg Jerum. I’ve got 22 years of successful, “in the trenches” digital marketing leadership working with companies of all sizes. If you’re looking for a fully invested partner, who can get your ship off the pad and speeding towards orbit then we should talk.
Limited Time Opportunity
I currently have availability for one new partner to work with me on a fractional basis as your CMO. We'll take your strategy, execution and results to the next level and beyond.

FAQ's
Who am I looking to work with?
Small to medium sized businesses who are growing quickly (or have explosive potential for growth). Or larger companies that have remained agile and not overly corporate. Need to have a flexible mindset and be open and excited for change.
What are my fees?
My typical compensation is a monthly retainer plus a negotiated performance package which vests over time.
What do you get?
Simply – a piece of me. This is NOT a consulting relationship. What I’m best at (and most interested in), are fully committed business partnerships. I'll be deeply invested in your business and act as key catalyst to achieving your long-term goals.
How much of my time will you get?
I currently have four other relationships of this nature. You would be number five (and my last). The goal of this type of relationship is you feel like you have a full-time CMO but you get that for a fraction of the risk you’d need to take on if you hired someone full-time.
At the same time I will not be full-time so you have to be open to doing things in a very time efficient way. When the fit is right it’s a huge win-win.
What is my role?
Typically very flexible. Depending on what infrastructure your business needs and already has in place (that is truly serving the long-term goals of the business).
My main focus is usually strategy and management of execution around marketing initiatives. But, I've helped companies successfully execute projects in related areas from website development to international expansion.
How do we get started?
Our relationship begins with a no obligation one-on-one discovery call (see signup form on this page). If, after that call we both feel we’d like to investigate the relationship further, then I'll do a round of research (on my dime).
If the research shows we're truly a good fit for each other, exponential growth is realistic and we have a shared vision, then we'll do a follow up call to review next steps in our relationship.
What I have to offer is very specific and is not for everybody or every situation. But, when the fit is right and incentives are properly aligned the results can be electric (see case studies).

That said they are all helpful in understanding the type of value and partnership I will endeavor to bring to your business.
