Why You Need a Fractional Marketing Team

Icon Strategy

Save Time 

Skip the lengthy recruiting and onboarding processes and go straight to doing the work. Get strategic marketing or technical executives with hands-on experience ready to start working within days. You don't have months to waste getting a new hire up to speed with no promise of ROI. Invest in what works. 

Icon Team

Save Money

Fill gaps in your marketing or technical talent without paying a full-time salary and the additional costs you incur. Pay month-to-month for precisely what you need when you need it. Don't pay $250K-$500k a year for one or two potential experts when you can enlist a seasoned team of veterans for $102k-$136k.

Icon Rocket Launch

Tap Deep Expertise 

Narrow internal thinking can limit your potential and growth. Fractional marketing lends fresh perspectives, agility, and depth to drive results. With a team of self-managing, expert-level marketers, you get a dedicated peer group bringing new tools and ideas to evolve your work and customer relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: No, we enhance your team and make them more effective, helping business owners avoid the risks and costs of a new full-time hire with better results.

A: Outsourcing can lead to inefficiencies, gaps in communication, minimal visibility, and poor results. Fractional marketing is like "near-sourcing" or “in-sourcing. We collaborate, meet frequently, share results, and channel the power of a whole agency toward your growth and success.

A: Great! Many of our clients do. But unless your marketing team has all 18 roles filled and you're hiring to complete the last one, it usually makes more sense to hire a fractional team.

A: Traditional agencies want to win work, bill hours, and keep full control operating in their own lane and on their own timelines. At O8 we care about your success like your own team would, valuing your input, creativity, inspiration, and inside-company knowledge to help you execute more efficiently and succeed in the long term.

A: As digital marketing gets more technical and complex, marketers are wearing too many hats. It's impossible for them to wear all 18, and painful to wear more than a few. This leads to burn-out, sub-par results, and marketing that just plain doesn't work. It's impossible for one person to know and do everything.
