With 15 years of expertise, Mike Snellenberger and The Fractional CMO Team redefine automotive marketing strategies to drive results.
In the fast-paced world of automotive marketing, where every dollar spent can make or break a dealership, one name is setting a new standard for success: Mike Snellenberger, known in the industry as “Marketing Mike.” As the founder of The Fractional CMO Team, Mike is transforming the way dealerships approach marketing. Through data-driven strategies and innovative leadership, he’s helping clients outpace their competition while optimizing every aspect of their marketing spend.
A New Approach to Automotive Marketing
The automotive industry has always been competitive, with dealerships vying for the attention of consumers in a crowded market. Traditional marketing methods often come with a high price tag and unclear results. However, Mike’s journey into the world of fractional marketing offers dealerships an entirely new way to manage their marketing needs without breaking the bank.
With over 15 years of experience in the automotive marketing field, Mike has seen firsthand the inefficiencies of the industry. He recognized that dealerships often struggle with high marketing costs, inconsistent results, and the challenge of managing multiple vendors. That’s when he founded The Fractional CMO Team – a service that provides high-level marketing strategy, vendor management, and brand growth for dealerships without the high cost of traditional agencies.
“The biggest pain point for most dealerships is that they’re often working with multiple vendors and don’t have a unified strategy to get the best ROI,” Mike explains. “Our team works directly with dealerships to oversee their entire marketing strategy, from ad spend to vendor relationships, and we do it with the goal of consistently improving results while reducing their cost per vehicle sold.”
Overcoming Obstacles and Redefining Success
The concept of fractional leadership in marketing is not new, but Mike has perfected it in a way that speaks directly to the needs of the automotive industry. In the early days, Mike faced skepticism from dealerships accustomed to traditional agency models. The idea of outsourcing a Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) seemed unusual, but Mike’s track record of success quickly turned skeptics into believers.
The Fractional CMO Team’s unique model allows dealerships to access top-tier marketing leadership without the high overhead costs. Unlike traditional marketing agencies that focus solely on execution, Mike and his team offer strategic oversight, ensuring that every marketing decision aligns with the dealership’s overall goals. This holistic approach has made them an indispensable partner for many dealerships looking to improve both their marketing efficiency and sales outcomes.
“We’re not just another marketing vendor,” Mike says. “We’re a strategic partner working on behalf of the dealership. Our goal is to help them manage their marketing at a big-picture level, improve their results, and lower their overall marketing expenses. The bottom line is, we help dealerships grow their brand and drive sales with measurable, data-backed results.”

“Our clients choose us because we don’t just focus on getting the next sale,” Mike shares. “We focus on long-term growth. We create strategies that evolve with the industry and consistently improve sales numbers. This ability to adapt and innovate is what truly differentiates us from other agencies.”
Proven Results in a Competitive Market
Since its inception, The Fractional CMO Team has achieved impressive results for dealerships across the country. With a history of managing over $4 million in ad spend, Mike’s team has consistently delivered industry-leading results, including a reduction in cost per vehicle sold and significant market share growth. Their ability to make data-driven decisions and adapt to changing market conditions has made them a go-to resource for dealerships seeking a competitive edge.
One of the standout aspects of The Fractional CMO Team’s approach is their focus on measurable results.

“We don’t believe in vanity metrics,” Mike says. “Everything we do is designed to improve sales and reduce marketing waste. Our clients appreciate that we’re always looking for ways to improve and refine their strategies.”
Why Dealerships Should Consider the Fractional CMO Model
For dealerships looking to achieve better marketing results without the overhead costs associated with traditional agencies, The Fractional CMO Team is the ideal solution. Mike and his team offer a level of expertise that allows dealerships to maximize their marketing budgets and grow their brands in ways that would have been impossible with a typical agency model.
“The beauty of our model is that we are an extension of the dealership,” Mike explains. “We get to know their business inside and out, and that allows us to make decisions that directly impact their bottom line. It’s not just about executing campaigns; it’s about ensuring that every decision is part of a larger strategy that supports their long-term growth.”
For dealerships, this strategic approach can lead to long-term growth, improved ROI, and a more sustainable marketing plan.
