THE PROBLEM
Sound Familiar?
You're spending on marketing but can't clearly see what's working.
You have vendors but no one is coordinating the bigger picture.
Your marketing feels inconsistent — reactive instead of strategic
You know you need marketing leadership but can't justify a full-time CMO salary.
The real cost of a full-time marketing hire
A $60,000 salary costs your organization $7,000–$7,500 per month when you factor in payroll taxes, benefits, and employer burden.
A $70,000 salary costs $7,300–$8,200 per month.
Plus a 90-day ramp-up before they're fully productive.
ECA's packages start at a fraction of the cost
What We Do
ECA's fractional CMO services give your organization a senior marketing partner — and a full creative and execution team behind them — without the overhead of a full-time executive hire.
We don't just advise. We build, manage, and deliver.
Strategy
Marketing plans, audience positioning, brand messaging, and campaign roadmaps that connect to your business goals.
Execution
Social media management, content creation, email campaigns, graphic design, and campaign delivery. We do the work.
Leadership
Vendor management, budget accountability, performance reporting, and the marketing direction your team needs to move forward.

THE THREE TIERS
Three Engagement Levels. One Committed Partner.
Every package includes a dedicated strategist, a full creative team, and a minimum 6-month commitment — because real marketing results take time to build.
