Fractional CMO in Vancouver
TL;DR
A fractional CMO in Vancouver usually costs C$6,000–C$15,000 a month, far less than a full-time executive. I work remotely with Vancouver apparel, outdoor, cleantech and health brands, taking responsibility for growth into the US and beyond, with engagements from about C$8,300 a month.

How I work with Vancouver teams
Vancouver brands often have a strong community and a clear identity, but growing beyond BC takes a different system. As your fractional CMO I set targets by market, build attribution that works across Canada and the US, and decide how to invest across paid, organic, retail and partnerships. I protect what makes the brand distinctive while adding the measurement discipline that scaling requires.
What’s included
- Growth strategy and a 90-day plan tied to one revenue target
- Attribution fixed first — GA4, server-side tracking, ad platform conversions
- Channel ownership across SEO, GEO, paid media, CRO and lifecycle
- Weekly spend decisions: what to kill, what to scale
- Weekly progress report to founders — revenue, not vanity metrics
- Hiring, briefing and managing agencies, freelancers or an in-house team
- AI and automation layer so reporting and routine work run on their own
The Vancouver context
- British Columbia has its own private-sector privacy law, PIPA, which covers most in-province activity instead of PIPEDA, so privacy notices and consent flows should reference the right statute.
- Natural health products sold in Canada need a Health Canada product license, and marketing claims must match what that license allows, which directly limits ad copy and landing pages.
Tracking and data collection follow BC PIPA, PIPEDA & CASL. BC's PIPA and the federal PIPEDA both require consent and clear purposes for collecting personal information. Email and SMS programs track CASL consent and expiry dates, and site tracking is consent-aware, with US visitors' state-level opt-out rights, such as California's, handled in the same setup.

FAQ
Fractional CMO in Vancouver: FAQ
Can a fractional CMO protect our brand while we scale?
Yes. I work within your brand guidelines and alongside your creative team, focusing on the channels, offers and measurement that drive growth. Scaling shouldn't mean generic ads; it means finding which authentic messages keep working at larger budgets.
Do you work with cleantech companies?
Yes. Cleantech sales often involve long cycles, technical buyers and public funding or incentive programs. I build positioning, content and pipeline tracking suited to those longer B2B journeys.
Does PIPA or PIPEDA apply to our BC company?
For most activity within British Columbia, BC's PIPA applies instead of PIPEDA, while PIPEDA can still cover personal information that crosses provincial or national borders. I make sure privacy notices and consent flows reference the right statute, and your legal counsel confirms how each law applies to you.
Can you work with natural health product brands?
Yes. I build campaigns and product pages around the claims your product license allows and flag copy that goes beyond them. Your regulatory advisor confirms final claims, and I keep every channel consistent with them.
