Navigating Growth: The Role of a Fractional CMO in Your Brokerage and How to Choose One Effectively
Preparing for Expansion
As your commercial real estate brokerage prepares for growth, having the right marketing leadership is crucial. The challenge isn't just finding skilled marketers; it's about finding someone with the experience and vision to understand where you are, and what it takes to grow your business. The ideal candidate should be a hybrid of a CMO and CEO, driving growth and positioning your business for future success.
The Role of a Fractional CMO
A Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) is essential for guiding marketing efforts, but the cost of a full-time CMO can be prohibitive. This is where a fractional CMO becomes invaluable, offering strategic marketing leadership on a part-time basis.
Understanding a Fractional CMO
A fractional CMO dedicates a set number of hours each month to your business, providing the expertise of a full-time CMO at a fraction of the cost. This makes them an ideal solution for businesses looking to optimize their marketing budget.
Reasons Brokers Choose a Fractional CMO
Brokers might opt for a fractional CMO for several reasons, including:
- Cost-Effectiveness: Access top-tier marketing talent without the financial burden of a full-time hire.
- Flexibility: Engage with a CMO on a schedule that suits your business needs.
- Strategic Growth: Gain insights to drive growth and position your business for future success.
- Transition Support: If you're leaving a brokerage to start your own, a fractional CMO can help establish your brand and marketing strategy from the ground up.
Evaluating Costs
While rates for fractional CMOs can vary, consider the potential savings. For example, hiring a fractional CMO at $200 per hour for 25 hours a month costs $5,000 monthly, or $60,000 annually. This is significantly less than the starting salary for a full-time CMO, which can be around $160,000 per year.
The Necessity of a CMO
While freelancers and agencies can support initial business stages, an experienced marketing leader becomes essential as your business scales. A fractional CMO can take charge of your marketing campaigns, ensuring successful implementation and allowing other executives to focus on their core responsibilities. They also help get your agents on the right track, positioning them to take greater market share.
Selecting the Right Fractional CMO
To find the right fractional CMO, consider:
- Referrals: Seek recommendations from industry peers and partners.
- Online Platforms: Utilize job boards like LinkedIn or Indeed to post job ads.
- Industry Expertise: Prioritize candidates with specific experience in commercial real estate to ensure they understand your unique marketing challenges.
Comparing Fractional and Full-Time CMOs
The primary distinction is cost. A fractional CMO offers their expertise for a limited number of hours, making their services more affordable. Despite fewer hours, their strategic input can be highly impactful.

Revolutionizing CRE Visuals: The First AI-Generated Photo Library We're thrilled to announce a significant milestone at CommercialRealEstateMarketing.com—the launch of the first-ever AI-generated commercial real estate photo library. Created by the company's co-founder, CAIO Ross Jones, this innovative resource is designed to meet the evolving needs of CRE brokers, marketing agencies, and recruiters. Bridging the Gap in CRE Imagery For too long, the commercial real estate industry has grappled with a shortage of high-quality images that accurately represent the diversity of its professionals and the variety of asset classes. Traditional stock photos often fall short of capturing the unique elements of modern CRE workplaces. Our new AI-generated photo library addresses this gap head-on. Reflective and Inclusive Visual Resources Tracee Jones, co-founder, explains, "The face of commercial real estate has changed. There are so many different races and cultures in professions like ours—from CRE to Finance—and traditionally, it has been hard to find quality images that adequately represent today's professionals in the CRE workplace." "Our library is not just a collection; it's an ever-growing ecosystem of visuals that reflects the true diversity of teams, clients, and company cultures. With images spanning every type of asset class, users can now find visuals that resonate more closely with their specific needs and help them grow market themselves efficiently". Dynamic and User-Driven Content What sets our library apart is its dynamic nature. We understand that real estate is a local business, and the need for specific imagery can vary greatly by region. That's why we offer a unique feature: users can request images tailored to the properties in their area. This ensures that our library not only grows but evolves in alignment with user demands and market trends. Accessible Through CRE Marketing Hub Accessible exclusively through the CRE Marketing Hub, this library is updated monthly, continually enhancing our offerings and ensuring that our subscribers have access to the most relevant and impactful visuals. Expanding Reach and Licensing Opportunities Recognizing the broader potential impact of our library, we are excited to offer licensing opportunities for associations, SaaS companies, brokerages, and other industry stakeholders. For more information on licensing and partnerships, please contact Tracee Jones, Head of Partnerships, at partnerships@contentcreationstudios.us . We invite you to explore this new tool and see how it can transform your marketing materials, presentations, and overall branding. With the power of AI, we're setting a new standard for imagery in commercial real estate.
