A Fractional CMO from Dine Agency gives growing food businesses access to a senior marketing executive with 25 years of food industry experience — for a fraction of what a full-time hire would cost. We set the strategy, coach your team and own the marketing outcomes.
A full-time food industry CMO runs $250K–$400K all-in. A Fractional CMO from Dine Agency gives you the same caliber of leadership for typically 20–30% of that — and you can scale up or down as the business changes. Ideal for food brands doing $3M–$50M in revenue who have outgrown reactive marketing.
Weekly working sessions with your founder or CEO, monthly leadership offsites with your marketing team, quarterly board-ready performance reviews and always-on access via Slack. We act as the marketing executive in every conversation that matters — vendor selection, agency oversight, hiring, budgeting.
Most clients see 30–60% revenue growth in the first 12 months, a 2x reduction in CAC, and a clear, repeatable go-to-market playbook their team can execute long after our engagement ends. We measure success in pipeline, not impressions.
We map your revenue model, growth goals and current marketing maturity in a 45-minute working session.
Within one week you get a written strategy, channel mix and KPI framework — yours to keep even if you don't move forward.
We embed with your team, audit your stack, meet your agencies and start owning the marketing scorecard.
Every 90 days we present results, recalibrate strategy and decide together whether to expand or hand off to an in-house hire.
