How does an interim CMO create business value?

A clear and effective brand strategy

An interim CMO quickly develops a clear strategy for positioning and strengthening your brand. 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.

Greater effectiveness in your marketing efforts

Existing activities are optimized across channels, content, and campaigns. Relevant messaging is combined with careful monitoring to ensure that every dollar invested is put to better use. The return on investment and profitability of marketing efforts increase.

Proactive support during times of change

During expansion, reorganization, or new launches, the strategy is quickly adapted to new circumstances. You’ll receive clear guidance and a coordinated approach so that the change is implemented without unnecessary disruptions and momentum is maintained.

The recruitment process

Our recruitment process is fast, streamlined, and tailored to your needs. We ensure you find the right candidate quickly through a clear job description and an efficient screening process.

1. Scope of Work & Objectives

We listen carefully to your expectations, goals, and current situation. A job description or job posting can serve as a basis, and we conduct a structured interview with the client.

2. Search for candidates in the network

We select and contact approximately 20 suitable candidates. We conduct interviews with the relevant and available consultants we identify, based on the job description.

3. Quality Assurance

The top 3–4 candidates are presented to the client within 1–3 days. A follow-up meeting with the client is held to finalize the selection and plan the next steps.

4. Customer Interview – Background Check

The client conducts interviews, any tests they may require, and interviews with the candidate’s grandparents. References are checked as needed, and a background check may be conducted on the final candidate.

5. Contract

We draw up a contract specifying the duration and scope of the assignment, always with a transparent pricing structure so that both the client and the consultant know how the fee is allocated. We always pay 80% of the fee to the consultant. If the client is dissatisfied, the contract can be terminated with a maximum of one month’s notice.

6. Assignments are carried out

Throughout the project, we maintain regular contact with both the client and the consultant to address any questions or gather feedback necessary for a successful collaboration.

7. Conclusion – Potential Employment

The assignment is concluded as specified in the agreement; however, if the assignment was intended to lead to employment and both parties agree, it will result in a hiring. The recruitment fee decreases the longer the assignment has lasted.
