Marketing leadership · without the $10k retainer

A CMO in your inbox every morning.

Most businesses can't afford a $10,000/month fractional CMO. So we built one you can — a daily marketing play, the full strategist's toolkit, and a direct line to a real one. Starting at $3 a month.

A private roster for operators under the $10k line. Founding seats are limited — not open to the public.

One marketing play. Every morning.

A single, do-it-today tactic in your inbox before 9am — a teardown, a template, a channel test, a positioning fix. Not theory. The thing a $10k CMO would tell you to do that week, distilled to one move you can run before lunch.

your homepage talks to the wrong person

One line fixes it, and it costs you nothing but 20 minutes this morning.

Most small business sites lead with what the owner is proud of, not what the buyer is scared of. That gap is why visitors bounce.

Today's play: rewrite your first line so it names the exact person and the exact problem, in their words.

  1. Write down the last 3 things a customer literally said before they bought. Use their phrasing, not yours.
  2. Turn the most common one into a single sentence: for [who], who struggles with [problem], we do [outcome].
  3. Put that sentence at the very top of your homepage and your email signature.

This works because buyers scan for themselves first. When they see their own problem named in plain language, they stay long enough to hear the rest. Everything you say after a sharp opening lands harder.

You do not need a rebrand. You need one honest sentence aimed at one person.

What you get

Everything a fractional CMO does — unbundled and priced for you.

A real strategist gives you a plan, the assets to run it, a room to ask questions, and a direct line when it matters. CMO Engine gives you the same, without the retainer.

The plan

The daily play

One actionable marketing move every morning, plus a weekly deep-dive that strings the week into a plan. You always know the next right thing to do.

The assets

The CMO vault

Templates, SOPs, swipe files, and calculators for the whole funnel — offers, ads, email, landing pages, pricing. Copy, fill in, ship.

The audit

Monthly marketing audit

Submit your site or funnel and get it scored against what actually converts — with the top three fixes ranked by impact.

The room

Private office hours

A small, closed monthly session — members only, no audience, no recording sold on. Bring your questions straight to a real CMO and get them answered on the spot.

The line

Direct CMO hotline

A private, direct line to a real CMO for members who want a human in the loop — the on-ramp to calls and hands-on engagements.

The path

From $3 to a real engagement

Start with the daily. As it pays off, step up to audits, the hotline, and — when you're ready — a done-with-you engagement.

Pricing

Start at three dollars. Grow when it pays for itself.

The Daily is open now. Plus and Direct are invite-only and roll out to founding members first — request an invite and you hold your seat at the founding price.
