What is Fractional Marketing?
Fractional Marketing means an experienced marketing leader works for a company on a part-time, ongoing basis — an external head who owns strategy and results for a fraction of the time and cost of a full-time hire.
— Definition by Alexander Kaminski
Fractional Marketing sits between a full-time hire and a classic agency. Instead of filling a CMO or Head-of-Marketing seat outright (expensive, slow) or briefing an agency (which executes but rarely leads), a company brings in a senior person on a fraction of their time — a few days a month, with a real decision-making and leadership role. The difference from plain freelancing: fractional means leadership part-time, not just an outsourced task.
Alexander Kaminski works exactly this way — fractional as a marketing lead and creative/brand operator. He plugs into the client's team, tools and calendar, sets the standard, and hands it back stronger than he took it. At ROBINSON (Resort Fleesensee) that role covered a website relaunch, an own booking engine, SEO and POS; at Memberspot it was marketing for a course-and-community SaaS.
A concrete example of the thinking: for the agency Digital Masters, Kaminski renamed the €700M brand Kartoffelland to "Echt vom Feld" — not a full-time job, but a fractional senior intervention placed exactly where it has the most leverage. That is the point of Fractional Marketing: not more hours, but the right head at the right point — the 0-Day, the opportunity hiding in plain sight.

Frequently asked — Fractional Marketing
What is the difference between Fractional Marketing and an agency?
An agency executes tasks; a fractional leads the marketing. They sit inside your team part-time, make strategy and leadership calls, and own the outcome — instead of only delivering what the brief asks for.
Who is Fractional Marketing right for?
Companies that need senior marketing leadership but can't (yet) justify a full-time CMO — scale-ups, mid-sized firms, or brands in a moment of change. You get a leader's experience and standard for a fraction of the time and cost.
