Fractional CMO

Summary

Imagine what you could build here. At The Ascension Group, a well-run system has a way of becoming a partner’s best year very quickly. Bring skill and discipline to your craft and there’s no telling what you could accomplish. Our acquisition system works: tested ad angles, a locked NEPQ sales methodology, and a delivery machine partners renew into. What it needs now is a marketing leader who has scaled paid acquisition past $1M per month and can build the department, the team, and the playbook that takes this from launch to dominance.

A proven acquisition machine, a certified sales floor behind it, and a marketing department that needs a general. Lead the growth engine of a company built to reach $100M.

Description

You will own the full growth engine: paid acquisition strategy and budget, the creative testing roadmap, funnel economics from click to closed partner, the marketing team (media buyer, copywriter, funnel builder, creative producer), and the reporting that ties every dollar of spend to cash collected. You set the strategy; your team executes it; the numbers prove it.

• Growth strategy and the paid acquisition budget across channels
• The creative testing system: angles, hooks, offers, tested on a cadence
• Funnel economics: CPL, cost per certified appointment, CAC to LTV, payback period

Minimum Qualifications

• You have owned paid acquisition at $500K+ per month of spend with documented CAC and payback results

Preferred Qualifications

• High-ticket coaching, agency, or info-product experience
• Real estate or local-services market experience
• You have taken a company from $3M to $20M+ as marketing lead
