A vetted expert within the Prose network, they work with your healthcare brand remotely, providing the strategic insight you need, whether it’s for 10 to 40 hours per week or for specific projects like patient outreach, community engagement, or promoting new healthcare services.

Unlike a traditional CMO hire, a fractional CMO offers strategic marketing leadership and expertise without the long-term commitment or high costs associated with a full-time executive. It’s like having a specialist on call—hiring fractional talent allows you to address your marketing needs without the full-time expense.

Benefits of a fractional marketing pro:

How they help your healthcare brand:

Fractional marketing pros and fractional CMOs can significantly enhance your healthcare brand in numerous ways, depending on their specific role. Whether it’s managing patient communications, creating content, strategic planning, brand positioning, team leadership, or performance tracking, these marketing pros are like your brand’s healthcare administrator—ensuring that every aspect of your marketing is focused on improving patient outcomes and community trust.

By leveraging the skills of a fractional marketer, your healthcare brand can effectively achieve its marketing goals, whether you're looking to increase patient acquisition, enhance brand trust, or expand service offerings. Think of them as your marketing care coordinator—working across departments to ensure a holistic and effective approach to your brand’s outreach and engagement efforts.

How does fractional marketing support work, and what's the typical duration?



Here’s how the process works:

Share your marketing needs
Get in touch to discuss your requirements, including specific skills and experience needed. We’ll help you define the ideal marketer and determine the appropriate engagement length—whether you’re launching a new healthcare service or developing a community outreach program.
Get matched (quickly!) with the best marketer
We’ll pair you with a marketing pro from our elite vetted network. You’ll have the opportunity to review their credentials—meet them, assess their fit, and even conduct a trial project to ensure they align with your brand’s vision.
Start once approved, with a flexible monthly payment plan
Once you’re satisfied with the match, your marketer will start working on your project immediately—no need to wait for the next quarter! We handle the onboarding logistics and paperwork, so you can focus on providing top-quality care.

Throughout the engagement, we’ll regularly check in with both you and your marketing pro to ensure progress is on track and to address any adjustments that may be needed.

Typical duration:

Short-term projects: A few weeks to a few months—ideal for promoting new healthcare services, managing patient communication during crises, or conducting health awareness campaigns.
Medium-term engagements: Typically 3 to 6 months—perfect for developing and executing comprehensive marketing strategies or expanding patient outreach efforts.
Long-term partnerships: From 6 months to a year or more—great for hospitals and healthcare brands needing continuous support without the commitment of a full-time hire.

By offering flexible durations, fractional marketing support ensures you get the right level of expertise exactly how and when you need it—whether you’re navigating healthcare regulations, driving patient engagement, or expanding your services.

What’s the cost range for hiring a fractional healthcare marketer?



The most frequently-cited benefit of hiring a fractional marketer is the cost savings over hiring a full-time, in-house marketing team—think of it as getting premium care for your brand without the high costs.

When you contact us, we’ll provide a custom quote based on your specific needs and the scope of your projects. As a general benchmark, most fractional engagements fall in the range of $5,000 to $15,000 per month.

Cost is largely influenced by two factors:

Experience and expertise: Executive and CMO-level healthcare marketers command higher hourly rates than junior or mid-level talent—they’re the specialists who can diagnose your marketing needs and prescribe effective solutions.
Duration and commitment: Longer engagements or those requiring more hours per week tend to cost more but often offer better value—just like getting better rates on long-term care.

Other factors influencing price include the complexity of the project, the specific skills required, and market rate variations based on geographic location and demand for particular roles.

Ultimately, the most relevant cost metric is ROI. While hiring a fractional healthcare marketer is an investment, the value they bring—measured by improved marketing performance, increased patient trust, and accelerated growth—can offer substantial returns. By leveraging their expertise, many healthcare brands achieve their marketing objectives more efficiently and effectively, leading to significant cost savings and enhanced patient relationships compared to traditional in-house hires.
