How does an interim CMO create business value?

Clear and effective brand strategy.

An interim CMO quickly creates a clear strategy for how your brand should be positioned and strengthened. By analyzing your current situation and market opportunities, they can identify specific actions that directly lead to improved brand awareness, clearer communication, and increased competitiveness. The result is a solid foundation for future growth.

Increased efficiency in your marketing efforts.

Existing activities are optimized, from channels to content and campaigns. Relevant messages are combined with careful follow-up to ensure every invested penny is used more effectively. This increases the return and profitability of your marketing efforts.

Proactive support during changes.

During expansion, reorganization, or launches, the strategy quickly adapts to new conditions. You get clear direction and a coordinated approach, ensuring changes are implemented without unnecessary disruptions and momentum is maintained.

The recruitment process

Our recruitment process is quick, smooth, and tailored to your needs. We make sure you get the right candidate fast, thanks to a clear requirement profile and efficient selection.

1. Assignment Description & Goals

We carefully listen to your expectations, goals, and current situation. A role description or job advertisement can be used as a basis, and we'll also conduct a structured interview with the client.

2. Candidate Search within Our Network

Around 20 suitable candidates are selected and contacted. We then conduct interviews with the relevant and available consultants we find, based on the assignment description.

3. Quality Assurance

The best 3-4 candidates are presented to the client within 1-3 days. We then have a check-in with the client to plan the selection and next steps.

4. Interview with Client – Background Check

The client conducts their interviews, any internal tests, and a final senior-level interview. References are taken if needed, and a background check can be performed on the final candidate.

5. Contract

An agreement outlining the length and scope of the assignment is drafted, always with transparent pricing so both the client and consultant know how the fee is distributed. We always pay 80% of the fee to the consultant. If the client is not satisfied, the contract can be terminated with a maximum of one month's notice.

6. Assignment Commences

During the assignment, we keep in regular contact with both the client and the consultant to catch any questions or feedback needed for a successful collaboration.

7. Wrap-up – potential employment

The assignment wraps up as per the agreement, or if the goal was employment and both parties are on board, it turns into a recruitment. The recruitment fee gets lower the longer the assignment has been going on.
