A clear place to start
Try Maqtrix for 30 days.
CAD $999. Advertising spend included.
Let’s work on your business’s marketing and find out what deserves more attention. We look across your brand, website, content, advertising and customer follow-up, then focus the test on the priorities that make sense for your business.
No agreements or contractsNo ongoing commitmentA plan refined after 30 days
02 / Put the priorities to work
We work on the selected marketing activities during the 30-day test and look at how people respond.
03 / Review and refine
After 30 days, we review what we learned and refine the next plan with you. You choose whether to continue.
CAD $999 covers the 30-day test, including advertising spend. The work and advertising allocation are set around your priorities before we start. Sending an enquiry does not take payment or start the test.
What should I expect from the test?
A practical starting point and a clearer next plan. We review the full marketing picture and prioritize the work within this test; it is not an unlimited rebuild of every system. Thirty days can show early signals, but leads, sales and search rankings are not guaranteed.
What a fractional CMO does (and doesn't).
DOES
Leadership, direction, accountability
A fractional CMO sets the marketing strategy, defines priorities and budgets, selects and manages channels and vendors, aligns marketing with sales, and owns the reporting that tells you whether any of it is working.
DOESN'T
Build the machine by themselves
A strategist working alone cannot also write the campaigns, design the funnels, produce the creative, configure the CRM, run the ads, and fix the follow-up process — at least not consistently, and not at the pace growth requires.
Where fractional CMOs alone fall short.
The most common failure mode we see in established businesses is a strategy document nobody can execute. Leadership without an execution team produces recommendations. Agencies without leadership produce activity. Growth needs both moving together:
THE GAP
Strategy without execution
Positioning decks, channel plans, and budget spreadsheets that stall because there is no standing team to implement them week after week.
THE GAP
Execution without direction
Ads running, posts publishing, emails sending — with no unifying commercial strategy, so results stay flat while spend climbs.
How V12 is different: leadership plus the team.
V12 is Maqtrix's connected growth partnership. One accountable fractional-CMO-level relationship, backed by a team operating twelve connected systems across brand, demand, sales, and retention — see the complete system here.
| Fractional CMO only | Agency only | V12 partnership | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strategic leadership | Yes | Rarely owned | Yes |
| Standing execution team | No | Yes | Yes |
| Sales alignment & follow-up systems | Advises | Usually excluded | Built & operated |
| Unified revenue reporting | Depends | Channel-only | One dashboard |
| Single accountable party | Partially | No | Yes |
| Published pricing | Varies | Almost never | Published openly |
Start small. Shape the next plan together.
The CAD $999 test run lasts 30 days and includes advertising spend. After the review, any ongoing services and their pricing are discussed separately. There is no obligation to continue.
Who this is for (and who it isn't).
We partner deeply with a limited number of companies. That only works when the business has the fundamentals and leadership to turn marketing into growth:
A valuable offer with real demand
The business already solves an important problem and customers have a reason to buy.
Capacity to serve more customers
Delivery can handle growth without damaging the experience or the reputation.
Leadership ready to make decisions
Strategy moves when leaders can align, approve and act without unnecessary delay.
A real ambition to lead
The goal is not to appear busier. It is to become more valuable, memorable and difficult to replace.

Fractional CMO questions, answered straight.
Is a fractional CMO worth it for a $2M business? +
Often, yes — if the business has product-market fit and capacity to serve more customers. A senior marketing leader at $2M revenue is usually hired fractionally rather than full-time, because the role must build systems before it needs a full salary. What matters more than the title is whether leadership comes with the ability to execute: strategy without an execution team tends to produce documents, not growth.
Fractional CMO vs. marketing agency — what's the real difference? +
A fractional CMO provides senior marketing leadership inside your business: priorities, budgets, vendors, and accountability. An agency provides execution capacity: campaigns, content, media, and reporting. The common failure mode is hiring one without the other — an agency executing without strategic direction, or a strategist advising without a team to build anything. Maqtrix's V12 partnership combines both in one accountable engagement. Read the full comparison →
How fast can a fractional CMO show results? +
Diagnosis happens in weeks; compounding results take quarters. In the first 30–60 days you should expect a clear commercial diagnosis, prioritized system fixes, and faster follow-up on existing leads. Revenue-level impact typically becomes measurable within 90–180 days depending on sales cycle length, capacity, and how quickly decisions get made.
