When to hire a Fractional Performance Marketing Lead
A fractional Performance Marketing Lead makes the most sense when you need senior channel expertise and ROI accountability right now, but a full-time hire is not the right move yet. These are the signals we hear most from founders and marketing leaders.
Your CAC Is Climbing and You Don't Know Why
Rising customer acquisition costs with no clear diagnosis is a senior-level problem. A Performance Marketing Lead can audit your channel mix, attribution model, and bid strategy to find and fix the leak fast.
You're Scaling Paid Spend Without a Strategy Owner
Pushing budget through paid search or paid social without a dedicated strategist is expensive. You need someone who owns the full-funnel performance plan, not just executes tasks.
Your Team Is Executing Without Senior Oversight
