What is a Virtual Chief Marketing Officer
As you may or may not be aware a Chief Marketing Officer is the executive role responsible for developing and executing an organization's marketing activity. This person is responsible for maintaining consistent branding across all forms of communication, developing new ways to reach current and potential clients, and ensuring that the appropriate tracking is in place so that a positive or negative R.O.I. can be determined for each marketing investment effort.
A Virtual Chief Marketing Officer fills the shoes of a CMO but on a part time basis. This is particularly advantageous for small and medium sized businesses as these businesses typically do not have enough to keep a full time CMO 100% occupied.
