3x Net revenue retention growth

Fractional CMO for Usage-Based SaaS Startups

Senior marketing leadership embedded in your startup — strategy, execution, and team-building at a fraction of a full-time CMO cost. For Usage-Based SaaS companies, this means navigating challenges unique to your category: Pricing model education and CAC calculation complexity.

SaaS companies with consumption-based pricing models aligned to value delivered — API calls, data processed, or seats used. Generic marketing agencies don't understand the nuances of Usage-Based SaaS — the buyer personas, the sales cycles, the proof points that matter. Cactus Marketing has worked with 3x Net revenue retention growth and built a playbook specifically for this category.
