Fractional work is how proven marketers get to the problems worth owning.
Divisional places experienced marketers with growth-stage startups that need real marketing capability. You work fractionally and own the function.
You own the function. Not just the task.
Own the growth function
You work with small teams where your work reaches the people making decisions without going through four layers first. There will be opinions and approvals; every engagement has them. What there won't be is an org structure built for a company ten times the size.
Work on problems worth solving
The companies we work with are at a stage where marketing actually moves the number. These aren't optimization tasks on a mature funnel. They're also not clean problems with obvious answers.
A defined scope from the start.
Engagements usually run 2 to 3 months, part-time. The scope, hours, and expectations are set in writing before you start. You know what you're walking into, and you have a say in how it evolves.
Every introduction is deliberate.
You're known before you're placed
Everyone in the Divisional network is someone we know personally. That's not a figure of speech. Trevor has worked with, referred, or vouched for every person we place.
We do the sourcing for you
You don't have to find your own clients or sell yourself cold. When we see a fit, we reach out. The introduction is ours to make.
You come in as the marketer, not the vendor.
The companies we work with aren't looking for a vendor. They're looking for a marketer who owns the function.
From first conversation to first engagement.
Around 40 marketers we know personally and stand behind.
Our network isn't a database. It's a working group of people who've done this before at companies we recognize.

If this sounds like the kind of work you want to do, let's talk.
We're selective about who we work with because our reputation with founders depends on it. If you're an experienced marketer who wants to work on real problems at growth-stage companies, apply below.

How does pricing work?
It's time and materials. Our marketers set their own rates, and we bill based on hours tracked toward your project. Rates range from $75 to $120/hr USD depending on experience and role. The more committed the engagement, the better the rate.
How do you source & vet your marketers?
Both referrals and open applications. Practitioners apply directly through our marketers page, and we source actively through our founder network and trusted referrals. Every marketer goes through a vetting process that includes deep dives into how they've operated across each past role. The active network stays tight because we only place people we'd stand behind.
Can they make an impact in 10-15 hours per week?
Yes. The people we place have done this work before and know how to operate without hand-holding. That makes them unusually efficient for the hours committed. We also layer in support resources when needed, so the fractional lead stays focused on the highest-leverage work.
What's the difference between a fractional marketer, a freelancer, and an agency?
A fractional marketer owns the outcome. A freelancer owns the deliverable, and an agency owns the relationship. Freelancers finish a project and move on. Agencies bill a retainer and send reporting. A fractional marketer works inside your team part-time and is accountable for the result, the way a full-time hire would be, without the year it takes to find and evaluate one.
How is Divisional different from other fractional marketing platforms?
Most platforms match you from a large database, fast. Divisional works from a small network of around 40 marketers our founder knows personally and has placed before. We optimize for the right match, not the quickest one. That means we sometimes take a week or two, and it means we only suggest someone we'd stand behind. If we don't have the right fit, we'll tell you.
