◆ THE PLAYBOOK

How we run Fractional CMO for AI/ML

Founders shouldn't try to be the CMO forever. A senior fractional operator who shapes your strategy, hires the team, picks the agencies, runs the funnel — and steps out cleanly when you bring on a full-time leader.

Channel mix that works for AI/ML startups: Founder content (X + LinkedIn) + AEO + research-led PR + community.

  1. Onboard30-day immersion, team interviews, funnel and stack audit
  2. Plan90-day plan tied to revenue goals, not 'awareness'
  3. Operateweekly strategic ops meeting, async daily, monthly board update
  4. Buildhire the in-house team, pick the right agencies, ship the systems
  5. Hand offclean handover to full-time CMO, we step out
◆ WHY MIR

Three reasons we win on AI/ML

01

Operators, not consultants

The founder of MIR previously ran a B2B SaaS lead-gen agency (Marketers, 2017–2021). The team has shipped these playbooks in production, not just deck form.

02

Live reference build

JobCannon — our own product — runs 2,500+ pages of programmatic SEO and AEO in production. Every recommendation has been A/B tested on our own surface first.

03

Funnel economics first

We model target CAC and payback before we open a single ad account or write a single brief. If a channel doesn't fit your unit economics, we tell you to skip it.

◆ CASE REFERENCE

What this looks like in practice

For a AI/ML startups company at Series A–B, an MIR engagement typically blends fractional cmo with adjacent stacks (founder content + AEO, or ABM + paid retargeting) so each channel feeds the next. Reference: see our SEO + AEO build on JobCannon, applied here to your category.
