What partnership should be

Finding top-notch marketing talent is difficult. It might be six months before the successful candidate’s first day at your company - and another six months before they reach full productivity. That’s a full year wasted.

Many interviewers don’t know what questions to ask to properly assess candidate qualifications, skills and track record - because they’re not marketers themselves. And the wrong hire can set your strategy back years and cost hundreds of thousands in lost opportunity.

Whether you’re looking for a CMO, Head of Marketing, Marketing Director or Senior Marketing Manager - talented marketers aren’t cheap. Then add superannuation, bonuses, company perks, annual and sick leave, and yearly pay rises. And don’t get us started on the 15-20% recruitment fees…

There are so many agencies, freelancers and consultants out there. Wading through them to figure out who’s the real deal is overwhelming and pushes out the timeline for hitting growth targets.

Finding and onboarding the right in-house talent takes time. Finding and onboarding the right agencies takes time. Building a strategy and starting to roll it out takes time.

Some people interview really well yet don’t deliver what they promised. But once they’ve started they can be hard to remove, which can create culture issues, performance issues and morale issues.

Even successful hires may lack the diverse skill sets needed for comprehensive marketing leadership. One person simply can’t know all the facets of marketing in detail.

Our CMOs are the best of the best and can start right away, saving you from countless months of lost time. In turn, we’re offering immediate productivity and an accelerated revenue growth trajectory.

All of our CMOs have over 15 years of diverse experience, from start-ups, to publicly listed companies, to working at some of the biggest brands in the world. Normally it would be a track record that money couldn’t buy. But with VCMO, you can.

We’re 50-60% cheaper than a normal CMOs salary (and even more cost effective if you include all the other bells and whistles). We’re closer to the price of a junior marketer, but without sacrificing the experience and knowledge your company needs.

Skip the frustrating and confusing process of having to find, sort through and choose delivery partners. We bring a tried-and-tested network of trusted agencies and freelancers to deliver your project on time, on budget and to the highest possible standards.

We’ll complete a full audit of your marketing ecosystem and deliver a brand new marketing strategy in 30 days, giving you clarity and confidence that we’ll help you hit your ambitious growth targets.

We can start right away and, if you don’t feel like you’re getting value out of the arrangement, then there’s no need for it to continue. You get total flexibility to scale up or down as required.

We have a community of CMOs with diverse skills and specialties that we can tag in and out of any project. So no matter what expertise might be required, we’ve got it covered.
