Here are a few reasons why you should hire a fractional CCO:
-
Cost-effectiveness: A fractional CCO provides organizations with access to top-tier communications expertise without the burden of full-time salary and benefits. This can be particularly beneficial for smaller organizations or those with limited budgets.
-
Strategic guidance: A fractional CCO can bring a fresh perspective and strategic vision to an organization’s communications efforts. They can help develop and implement a comprehensive communications plan that aligns with the organization’s overall goals and objectives.
-
Expertise in specific areas: Fractional CCOs often have specialized expertise in certain areas of communications, such as public relations, crisis communications, or social media. This can be invaluable to organizations that need help navigating complex or challenging communications situations.
-
Flexibility and scalability: Fractional CCO arrangements can be tailored to meet the specific needs of an organization. The CCO can provide as much or as little support as needed, and the engagement can be scaled up or down as the organization’s needs change.
-
Access to a wider network: Fractional CCOs often have extensive networks of contacts in the media, public relations, and marketing industries. This can be a valuable resource for organizations that are looking to expand their reach and build relationships with key influencers.
In addition to these benefits, fractional CCOs can also help organizations:
- Improve employee communication
- Enhance brand reputation
- Manage crises effectively
- Attract and retain top talent

Customer Experience
Have you ever thought about the experience that your customers have when they engage with your business?
One of the keys to creating a loyal customer base is to make sure that each time the customer concludes an interaction with your organization, he/she leaves satisfied. Many of us are fortunate enough to eat at nice restaurants regularly. One of the tactics that the best restaurants use is the idea of creating the best customer dining experience that they can create.
No matter what type of company you work in, work to make sure you are creating the best customer experience that you can create. You can work on anything from the way the phone is answered to providing fresh baked cookies to everyone that comes in your store. Take some time to think of ways to make your ‘customer experience’ tie into your brand identity. This change could be the difference in a one time customer and a customer for life.
Feel free to leave a comment about how you are currently managing your customer experience, what you plan to do in the future to better manage the customer experience, or a company that you feel provides the ultimate customer experience.

Social Media Strategy Audit
Our advice, step back and either do your own social media audit or hire a consultant that can give you great data about your social media campaign. We would say leave it to the experts (shameless plug coming). Let a company like Selsi Enterprises dissect your current plan and give you some sound techniques to move forward with your efforts on social media.
A good social media strategy audit takes about 2 months to conduct. This audit typically compares what you are doing in the social media sphere to what your competitors are doing. This audit should also take a look at what you are doing versus where your customers are and what they may prefer in the way of social communication. Finally, you should end up with recommendations that can be measured over time.
Once small business owners conduct a social media audit, it is amazing how they see the results start to stack up versus the time before they had a specific strategy. What keeps most business owners from hiring a consultant to perform this audit is a concern surrounding the cost. A business owner should look at this as an investment in business growth. This is a short term expense that can lead to a long term gain. As I have polled consultants in 2012 on what they charge for their social media strategy audits, I have seen a range in terms of prices, services, and guarantees. For a quality audit, the price range is 5K to 8K. Typically a consultant will allow a business owner to break this expense up into multiple payments over the 2 month timeframe. It really depends on the consultant!
