1616 – Fractional CMO vs Marketing Agency with Find Your Audience’s Nathan Yeung

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with the Vice President of Find Your Audience, Nathan Yeung.

Nathan isn’t your-typical marketing professional. As a fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), he and his team serve as a plug-and-play marketing team for various clients, from national franchises to large B2B enterprises and venture capital and private equity firms.

Unlike traditional agencies, Nathan's team doesn't just provide strategic advice. They also execute marketing strategies. This dual role allows them to be more involved and hands-on with their client's businesses.

As Nathan explained, one of the key differences between hiring a fractional CMO and a traditional agency is the focus. A fractional CMO focuses on high-level strategic planning and identifying white space in the market. In contrast, agencies focus more on tactical execution based on the client's specific needs or ideas.

When asked about growing his own business, Nathan acknowledged the challenge of finding time to work on the enterprise while being busy working on it. He revealed that most of his business comes from referrals, which he strategically cultivates through distribution partners.

Nathan also mentioned the importance of content creation and being a guest on podcasts to increase visibility and generate leads. However, he avoids cold emailing due to the sensitivity of marketing services to such approaches. Instead, he encourages interested individuals to reach out to him directly.
