Your Marketing Doesn’t Need More Hands, It Needs Direction

We step in as your Fractional CMO, owning your marketing strategy, guiding execution, and leading your growth without the overhead of a full in-house team.

At Ivy House Creative, we understand that not every business needs (or can afford) a fully staffed marketing team and Chief Marketing Officer. That’s why we offer our Fractional CMO services: to provide you with expert marketing leadership without the full-time expense. Our goal is to seamlessly integrate with your team, offering top-tier strategic guidance and execution that aligns perfectly with your business objectives.

You Don’t Have a Marketing Problem, You Have a Leadership Problem

You’ve got people doing things.

Posting content. Running ads. Updating your website.

But no one is actually leading the strategy.

No one is:

  • Connecting the dots

  • Making high-level decisions

  • Prioritizing what actually matters

  • Or taking ownership of results

So everything feels reactive. Disconnected. Inefficient.

And growth? Inconsistent at best.

What is a Fractional CMO?

A Fractional CMO is a part-time executive who steps into your business to drive your marketing strategy and team. They are a cost-effective solution for businesses looking for experienced leadership without the commitment of a full-time hire. Our Fractional CMOs bring years of industry expertise and a fresh perspective that can pivot and adapt as your business evolves.

This Is Where Everything Changes.

A Fractional CMO gives you the strategic leadership your business is missing—without hiring a full-time executive.

At Ivy House, we don’t just advise.

We step in and own your marketing.

We:

  • Set the strategy

  • Direct the team

  • Oversee execution

  • And ensure everything is working toward real growth

What a Fractional CMO Actually Means

This isn’t a consultant you talk to once a month.

This is hands-on leadership across your entire marketing ecosystem.

Strategic Direction: We define your marketing roadmap, what to focus on, what to cut, and where to invest.

Team Leadership: We manage your internal team, external vendors, or our own specialists so you don’t have to.

Campaign Oversight: From content to ads to launches, we ensure everything is aligned and performing.

Data and Performance Analysis: We track what matters, interpret the data, and make smart, informed decisions.

Growth Planning: We’re not just thinking about this month, we’re building for where you’re going next.

An Entire Marketing Team, Without the Overhead

A full-time Marketing Director or CMO alone can cost $120K–$200K+ per year… before benefits.

But that’s just the start.

To actually execute, you’d still need:

  • A social media manager

  • A graphic designer

  • A photographer / videographer

  • A paid ads specialist

  • A web and SEO team

  • A strategist or consultant to guide it all

Now you’re easily looking at $250K–$500K+ annually to build a well-rounded marketing team.

Or….you can skip all of that.

With Ivy House, you get:

  • A Fractional CMO leading strategy

  • A full team of specialists behind the scenes

  • Creative, content, ads, web, and execution—all working together

Without the overhead, hiring, or management headaches.

Everything you need.
None of the bloat.
