The Rockstar CMO Studio: 5 F’in’ Things About Fractional CMOs
September 24, 2025 · 38:32
This week, Jeff Clark, former Forrester Research Director, and our host, Ian Truscott, discuss what seems like the second biggest marketing topic right now, behind AI: fractional marketing leadership.
The tables are turned as Jeff asks Ian for his 5 f’in’ things and they discuss:
-
Fractional is not Part-time
-
The client wants to solve a problem not hire a fractional
-
Be purposeful fractional
-
Be clear about the problem you solve
-
Flexibility is a feature, not a bug
As always, we welcome your feedback. If you have a suggestion for a topic that's hot for you that we should discuss, please get in touch using the links below.
