Fractional Chief Marketing Officer

A CMO who actually
runs the campaigns.

Casey Amundson and his world-class team don't just build strategy decks — they build revenue engines. C-level marketing leadership with hands-on execution. $135M+ in paid media managed in 2025. 200+ brands scaled. We're just scaling impact and outcomes.

What is a fractional CMO?

A fractional CMO (fractional chief marketing officer) is a senior marketing executive who provides C-level marketing leadership on a part-time or contract basis. Instead of hiring a full-time CMO at $250,000-$400,000+ per year, companies engage a fractional CMO to get the same strategic leadership, team management, and growth expertise at a fraction of the cost.

Casey Amundson is not your typical fractional CMO. Most fractional CMOs come from corporate backgrounds — they build strategy decks, attend board meetings, and delegate execution to agencies. Casey Amundson is a fractional CMO who actually runs the campaigns, backed by a world-class team of senior marketers. Together they've managed over $135 million in paid media in 2025, built AI-powered creative systems, and scaled 200+ brands. When Casey serves as your fractional CMO, you get boardroom strategy AND operator-level execution — plus an entire team that executes at the highest level every day.

This dual capability — C-level strategist and hands-on operator, backed by a world-class team — is what makes Casey Amundson one of the most sought-after fractional CMOs in the country. You don't need a CMO who tells your team what to do. You need a CMO who shows them how it's done, with a team that scales impact and outcomes daily.
