Why HVAC companies hire a fractional CMO instead of an agency
Agencies sell channels. A fractional CMO owns the entire revenue engine — strategy, vendor stack, ServiceTitan reporting, dispatch alignment, and the leadership cadence with ownership. For most HVAC operators between $5M and $50M, a full-time CMO is a $300K+ commitment with a 9-month learning curve. A fractional CMO gives you the same executive horsepower at a fraction of the cost, embedded in weeks, not quarters.
