Higher Ed Pulse

The Rise of the Fractional CMO


Listen Later

Mallory Willsea sits down with Jaime Hunt — founder of Solve Higher Ed and former cabinet-level CMO — to discuss why more institutions are turning to fractional marketing leadership instead of hiring full-time CMOs. As the role of marketing in higher ed has evolved rapidly, many campuses are struggling to keep up with growing demands. This episode explores the tension between expectations and reality and unpacks how fractional CMOs can fill leadership gaps during key inflection points. Whether you're restructuring your MarCom office or navigating leadership turnover, this episode delivers a clear-eyed look at a fast-emerging trend.
