Leadership

It is increasingly recognised that the biggest gaps in company performance at leadership level come from utilising customer data, owned and external insights, to close organisational gaps for better performance.
 
Many organisations recognise the need to lift marketing capability but fail to execute longer term visions, or withdraw marketing investment as the trajectories for change fall too far outside the immediate priorities for shareholder returns. CEOs are looking at smarter ways to scale the value of their marketing, and emerging corporates are recognising the need for a step-change in marketing mindset at the table, but struggle to find a way to transform the business into a marketing-ready organisation. That’s where a Fractional Marketing Leaders can assist.

FMM

FRACTIONAL
Marketing Manager

If you have a block of work that needs to be completed with specific outcomes by a specialist marketer, or you need the guidance of a marketer to manage aspects of your marketing organisation but aren’t ready for an FCMO, you can trial a Fractional Marketing Manager for your business.

Agree to a set body of work, or specific outcomes and retain an FMM for minimum of 8 weeks to work through and report back on specific outcomes.

This option is ideal if you have a one-off project to complete, or just need guidance through a marketing change in your business. Rates vary according to work complexity and marketing skill required.

FMS

This may include improving the performance of your website, your enquiries or your conversion, managing your digital advertising or your community engagement. You can search for specialist skills through our dedicated portal, NZ Marketers, and book a FMS for your small to medium project needs. Rates vary according to specialism.
