REACH YOUR GOALS
SERVICES/SOLUTIONS
While my clients span different industries, they share common goals, challenges, and problems that keep them up at night: building trust, attracting the right clients, and scaling efficiently without wasted resources.
I help founders at early-stage startups, executives at higher education CE/WD programs, and CEOs at independent B/Ds establish credibility, attract the right target market, and scale efficiently without wasting time and money on ineffective marketing--and without the cost of a full-time CMO hire. I help them sleep at night.
WHY USE A FRACTIONAL CMO?
A Fractional CMO is a senior marketing leader who works with your organization on an hourly, retainer, or project basis--giving you executive-level marketing strategy, leadership, and execution without the full-time cost of a CMO hire.
Whether you have no marketing team, a small internal group, or just need an external, unbiased viewpoint--I step in, identify what's working (and what's not), and deliver clear, effective marketing plans, strategy, and execution to help you achieve your business goals.
ABOUT ROBERT FONEY, FCMO
A strategic partner who understands the intersection of business growth, marketing performance, and industry nuance.
With more than 20 years of C-suite marketing experience across startups, financial services, healthcare, technology, and higher education, Robert Foney Fractional Chief Marketing Officer brings a unique blend of strategic insight, operational discipline, and hands-on execution to every engagement.
As a fractional CMO, I work with founders, CEOs, and institutional leaders who are ready to transform marketing into a true growth driver—but don’t yet have the need or budget for a full-time marketing executive.
I’ve built and led marketing functions in both early-stage and enterprise environments. I’ve supported capital raises, scaled product launches, repositioned legacy brands, and driven recruitment and enrollment strategies under resource constraints. Across all engagements, the mission is the same: to ensure marketing delivers measurable impact, aligns with organizational priorities, and supports sustainable growth.
