This allows you to access top-tier marketing leadership without the full-time commitment and cost. At KNB Communications, our Fractional CMOs are health tech marketing executive veterans with a deep understanding of the industry, capable of setting strategic direction and overseeing your marketing department.
Why KNB?

They may even bring contacts to the table. Above all, they understand your industry's unique challenges and opportunities, and have a proven track record of driving growth and engagement in that specific space.
Execution without strategy is like building a house without a blueprint: you might end up with something, but it may not be what you need and it certainly will not be the most efficient use of your resources. A Fractional CMO develops a comprehensive marketing strategy tailored to your company’s business goals. Whether you need to increase brand awareness, generate leads, or launch a new product, their strategic plan aligns with your vision and delivers measurable results.
Beyond strategy, a Fractional CMO provides the operational expertise needed to oversee your entire healthcare marketing department. They manage campaigns, mentor your team or agency resources, and ensure that all marketing efforts are executed flawlessly.
