What Responsibilities Does a Part-Time CMO Have?
A part-time CMO brings the same wide-ranging skills and expertise as a Chief Marketing Officer, skilfully steering your organisation's marketing strategies to success, all while offering the flexibility and affordability not typically found in a full-time role.
Marketing Bad Habits That Demand Part-Time CMO Leadership.
Businesses will face marketing challenges at any point of their lifecycle. Left untouched, the issue can manifest into something much bigger which can drain resources, create frustration and suppress growth. Often these problems arise from a lack of strategic marketing leadership, and businesses can unconsciously fall into bad marketing habits such as:
- Sales & marketing functions working in silos.
- Lack of a shared vision among board members.
- Hiring marketing talent with the wrong credentials.
- Outsourcing marketing elements to the wrong agencies.
- Making decisions off gut-instinct in lieu of empirical data.
- Allowing non-marketers to make strategic marketing decisions.
- Building the business strategy around last year’s sales performance.
- Not investing in the on-going development of sales & marketing talent.
- Not applying strategic marketing frameworks during the planning process.
- Not conducting regular market research on customers, competitors or trends.
