You've Built to $2M+.
Now Build the Executive Team
to Get to $10M.

A fractional CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) is a senior marketing executive who serves your company on a part-time or contract basis instead of as a full-time hire. They own your entire marketing strategy — brand positioning, channel mix, budget allocation, campaign direction, and team leadership — at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CMO salary of $200K–$350K per year. Sage Media's fractional CMO service is built for companies spending $10K–$250K per month on marketing who need strategic direction, not just tactical execution.

A fractional COO (Chief Operating Officer) is an experienced operations executive who works with your company part-time to identify bottlenecks, install scalable systems, and build the infrastructure your business needs to grow beyond its current stage. You should consider a fractional COO when the founder is acting as the primary operations manager, when processes haven't scaled to match revenue, or when growth has outpaced the company's operational capacity. Fractional COO services are most impactful for companies between $2M and $20M in annual revenue.

Fractional CMO services typically range from $5,000 to $15,000 per month depending on scope and hours. Fractional COO services typically range from $4,000 to $12,000 per month. Both compare favorably to full-time executive hires: a CMO costs $200K–$350K per year in salary alone, and a COO adds $180K–$300K. Companies that engage both fractional services through a single partner like Sage Media typically see savings of $400K–$600K annually compared to hiring full-time.

AI implementation for a $2M+ company means integrating artificial intelligence directly into your operations, marketing systems, and decision-making workflows. This includes automating repetitive internal processes, building AI-powered marketing funnels and customer journeys, using machine learning for audience targeting and lead scoring, and deploying analytics tools that surface revenue insights automatically. Done correctly, AI implementation reduces operational overhead by 20–40% and creates compounding competitive advantages over time.

Traditional marketing agencies execute tactics — they run ads, build websites, or manage social media accounts. Sage Media operates at the executive level, functioning as your fractional CMO and COO rather than a vendor. We own strategy, not just execution. We are AI-native, not AI-curious. And we hold ourselves accountable to revenue outcomes — not impressions, follower counts, or monthly activity reports. We serve as an embedded executive partner for companies doing $2M to $50M or more in annual revenue.

Sage Media structures every engagement around a 90-day framework: a Revenue Audit in the first 30 days, System Build in days 31–60, and Accelerate from day 61 forward. Most clients see measurable operational improvements and marketing clarity within the first 30 days. Revenue impact from new systems and campaigns typically becomes visible within 60–90 days, with compounding returns building over the following 6–12 months.
