What a Fractional CMO Does
Inside a Ford Store.

45th Anniversary Rebranding Campaign

To celebrate the store's 45-year anniversary in 2026, we redesigned the dealership's logo and complete brand identity — a rebrand honoring four and a half decades in Nashville while positioning the store for its next era. The campaign anchored the launch of their brand-new, fully optimized website, a complete rebuild of the 12-year-old outdated site, launched July 22, 2026 at fordnashville.com.

Full Fractional CMO Scope — One Store, One Leader

This is what "full-service" actually means when a Fractional CMO runs your store's marketing:

Rebranding & Identity

Redesigned store logo and complete brand identity for the 45th-anniversary campaign — modern, chrome-and-Ford-blue, unmistakably theirs.

Complete Website Rebuild

The 12-year-old site replaced with a brand-new, fully optimized website and online shopping experience — built on the store's OEM-compliant platform.

Specialty Vehicle Pages

Co-branded landing pages for performance and specialty inventory — including RTR vehicles — that stock OEM templates can't showcase.

Social Media Program

Ongoing store-level content: promotions, salesperson spotlights, specialty truck features, and review engagement.

Email & Inventory Marketing

Inventory flyers and email campaigns that put the right units in front of the store's own database.

Sales Enablement

A comprehensive program built around a retail units-per-day objective — marketing aligned to the floor, not to vanity metrics.

Why Ford Stores Choose a Fractional CMO

Your website provider isn't accountable for units. Your ad agency isn't accountable for your brand. Somebody has to be accountable for all of it.

One Leader Over the Vendor Stack

Website provider, ad vendors, social, co-op — a Fractional CMO sits above all of it on your side of the table, holding every vendor to a number.

Executive Skill, Store Budget

CMO-level strategy and accountability at a fraction of an executive hire — a line item that makes sense for a single store or a small group.

Measured in Retail Units

Every campaign, page, and post is evaluated against the only metric a dealership runs on: units over the curb.

Built for Where Buyers Are Going

Car buyers now ask AI which store to trust before they visit a website. We build dealership brands and sites structured to be the answer.

Dealership Marketing FAQs

What does a Fractional CMO do for a Ford dealership?

A Fractional CMO gives a dealership one accountable marketing executive across everything — brand, website, advertising, social, email, and vendor management — at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire. Instead of a GM juggling a dozen vendors, the store gets senior leadership that sets strategy, holds every vendor accountable, and ties marketing to retail units, not impressions.

What did the Town & Country Ford Nashville engagement include?

A full Fractional CMO scope: a rebranding campaign with a redesigned store logo and brand identity celebrating the dealership's 45-year anniversary in 2026, the complete rebuild of their 12-year-old website — launched July 22, 2026 at fordnashville.com — plus specialty vehicle landing pages, ongoing social media content, email marketing, and a sales enablement program built around a retail units-per-day objective.

Do you work with dealership website platforms like Dealer Inspire?

Yes — we work within OEM-compliant dealership platforms including Dealer Inspire, building modern, fully optimized sites and custom landing pages inside the platform your OEM program requires. You get a site that looks and performs like a flagship store without compliance headaches.

Can you serve Ford stores outside of Texas?

Yes — we serve dealerships nationwide. Our flagship dealership engagement is a Ford store in Nashville, Tennessee, managed from our Texas headquarters, and the Fractional CMO model works remotely by design: strategy, creative, web, and vendor management delivered wherever your store is.

Why choose a Fractional CMO over adding more vendors?

Because dealerships don't lack vendors — they lack leadership. Most stores pay for a website provider, an ad agency, a social vendor, and OEM co-op programs that don't talk to each other. A Fractional CMO sits above the vendor stack on your side of the table: one strategy, one accountable executive, every dollar evaluated against retail units.

How does AI search affect car dealerships?

Car buyers increasingly ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI which dealership to visit and which store to trust — before they ever hit a dealer website. Stores structured for AI visibility, with strong entity signals, reviews, and optimized sites, get named in those answers. It's a core part of how we build dealership web presences.

Your Store Deserves This Level of Marketing Leadership

Whether you run one rooftop or a group, let's talk about what a Fractional CMO would change at your store — brand, website, vendors, and units.
