Common questions about
fractional marketing
What is a fractional marketing manager?
A fractional marketing manager is a senior marketing professional who embeds inside your company on a part-time or project basis — giving you the expertise of a full-time hire at a fraction of the cost. GSD Co's fractional managers own your marketing calendar, execute campaigns, and drive projects across the finish line from day one.
What's the difference between a fractional CMO and a fractional marketing manager?
A fractional CMO focuses on high-level strategy, brand positioning, and executive alignment — typically a few hours per week. A fractional marketing manager goes deeper into execution: running campaigns, managing vendors, owning the calendar, and shipping deliverables week over week.
How much does a fractional marketing manager cost?
Significantly less than a full-time senior marketing hire. Where a Director of Marketing costs $120k–$180k/yr in salary alone (plus benefits and equity), GSD Co delivers the same senior execution at a fraction of that — with no benefits, no overhead, and no ramp-up.
When should I hire a fractional marketing manager?
When campaigns are falling behind, when you need senior execution but can't justify a full-time hire, when your team lacks a single owner for marketing output, or when leadership is spending too much time managing marketing instead of running the business.
Is a fractional marketing manager better than a marketing agency?
For most growth-stage companies, yes. GSD Co embeds inside your team, owns accountability end-to-end, and executes without layers of account management or markup. Agencies are great for channel specialists (paid ads, SEO). A GSD fractional manager does the cross-channel oversight an agency can't.
What marketing channels does GSD Co manage?
GSD Co is channel-agnostic. We manage paid media, content, email, SEO, social, events, and product marketing — whatever your stage requires. We manage the vendors and agencies executing in each channel so you don't have to.
How quickly can GSD Co get started?
Fast. Most clients have their fractional marketing manager embedded and active within the first week — reviewing the marketing stack, setting priorities, and shipping the first initiatives within 14 days.
What size companies does GSD Co work with?
Primarily growth-stage companies — Series A through C startups and established SMBs with $2M–$50M in revenue — who need senior marketing execution but aren't yet ready for a full-time VP or Director of Marketing.
How do I know if my company needs a fractional marketing manager?
Signs you're ready: campaigns launch late or not at all, no single owner for marketing output, you're spending on tools and vendors but seeing little ROI, or leadership is managing marketing instead of running the business. Book a free 30-minute consult to find out.
What does GSD stand for?
Get Stuff Done. It's our operating philosophy. GSD Co was built for companies that are tired of strategy decks, agency runarounds, and marketing that doesn't ship. We exist to execute.
