Fractional CMO + AI
CMO strategy. AI execution.
Get senior marketing leadership without the senior marketing salary. CF provides the strategy, Magister handles the execution — for a fraction of what you'd pay a full-time CMO.
What We Ship Monthly
How it works
Strategy and execution, in one stack
CF sets the strategy
We define your marketing roadmap, prioritize channels, and plan campaigns — delivered async via Loom and shared docs after an initial kickoff call.
Magister executes the plan
Content, emails, landing pages, ad copy — Magister handles the production work based on our strategic direction. No waiting on freelancers or agencies.
You review, approve, ship
Everything goes through you before it goes live. Review on your schedule, leave feedback async, and we iterate fast.

Everything you need from a marketing leader — plus the AI infrastructure to actually get things done.

Ideas vs. execution
Most fractional CMOs hand you a strategy and leave you to figure out how to execute it. We actually ship the work.

| What you get | Strategy and ideas | Strategy + execution |
| Who does the work | You or your team | Magister AI agent |
| Output per month | A plan and some advice | Dozens of assets shipped |
