Brand leadership when you need it, but not when you don’t.
For many organizations, recruiting, onboarding and supporting a Chief Brand Officer is impractical. Our Fractional Brand Advisory is an innovative approach that allows companies to access high-level brand expertise without the full financial commitment of a permanent executive.
A Fractional Brand Specialist is embedded within your leadership team, serving part-time as a trusted executive to accomplish specific goals. Under this uniquely economical arrangement, a Fractional Brand Specialist helps identify weaknesses and opportunities, conducts brand ideation workshops, designs brand identity programs, and helps infuse them throughout your organization.
When is Fractional Brand Leadership Valuable?
A Fractional Brand Specialist guides organizations through periods of flux, including:
Startup and Launch: During the critical early stages of a business, a Fractional Brand Specialist designs a cohesive brand identity, articulates a compelling value proposition, and helps develop a strategic roadmap to take your brand to market.
Growth and Scaling: As companies expand, brands must remain consistent and build on the ideas baked in from the outset.
Rebranding or Repositioning: Businesses undergoing transformations like mergers, leadership changes, or shifts in market positioning require expert guidance to maintain clarity and resonance.
Resource Constraints: Small businesses, nonprofits and startups often lack the budget for a full-time chief brand officer, making fractional solutions an affordable alternative.
Brand Recovery: Organizations that need to rebuild trust or repair damaged reputations require the focused attention of a brand expert.
Rapid Market Changes: Shifting market trends, technological advances and economic challenges call for strategic brand leadership to capitalize on change.
Short-Term Projects: A Fractional Brand Specialist can design and execute deliverables such as advertising, digital products, promotions, print collateral and other components as needs arise.
