Question 1

What does a Part-Time Marketing Director do?

Accepted Answer

A Part-Time Marketing Director leads your marketing strategy on a flexible, fractional basis. They define your brand positioning, oversee campaigns across digital and traditional channels, manage marketing teams or agencies, set and track KPIs, and ensure marketing activity directly supports business growth — all without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.

Question 2

How can a Part-Time Marketing Director help my business grow?

Accepted Answer

A Part-Time Marketing Director brings senior-level strategic thinking and hands-on leadership to your marketing function. They identify growth opportunities, build scalable marketing processes, align your messaging with customer needs, and create measurable results. Because they work across multiple businesses, they bring fresh market insight and proven frameworks that a generalist or junior marketer typically cannot provide.

Question 3

How much does a Part-Time Marketing Director cost in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Part-Time Marketing Directors at Leadership Services start from £1,795 per month. This compares favourably with a full-time Marketing Director salary of £80,000–£120,000 per year, plus benefits, NI contributions, and recruitment fees. The fractional model means you access the same level of expertise on a completely flexible, no-contract basis.

Question 4

What is the difference between a Part-Time Marketing Director and a fractional CMO?

Accepted Answer

The terms are largely interchangeable in the UK market. A Part-Time Marketing Director typically focuses on operational marketing leadership — managing your team, campaigns, and budget. A fractional CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) tends to carry a more strategic, board-level remit including go-to-market strategy and investor communications. Leadership Services provides both, matched to your specific business needs.

Question 5

How quickly can a Part-Time Marketing Director start?
