What is fractional marketing?

Fractional marketing gives an organization access to senior marketing, communications or creative leadership without requiring a full-time hire. Savage’s Fractional Talent solution embeds an experienced leader or leaders inside the business to establish priorities, guide critical work and create momentum.

What makes Savage’s Fractional Talent model different?

Savage gives you more than an embedded leader. You get carefully matched senior talent backed by Savage’s brand, culture, communications, marketing and creative expertise, with ongoing thought partnership, quality control and accountability throughout the engagement.

What’s included in a fractional marketing partnership with Savage?

Savage begins by clarifying the business need, defining the role and shaping the right engagement model. From there, we establish scope, outcomes, ways of working, cadence and success measures, then embed a senior Savage-backed leader to provide strategic and functional leadership. Throughout the engagement, Savage stays connected through thought partnership, quality control, issue escalation and access to broader expertise as needed. As the work evolves, we also help plan for what comes next so the organization can sustain the strategies, structures and momentum put in place.
