What Is the Going Rate for a Top CMO in Wealth Management?

Hiring a top CMO in wealth management costs $500K-$1M annually, including salary, benefits, and vendor fees like designers and content creators. Training a junior marketer costs less upfront but requires significant time to develop expertise in wealth psychology and compliance. For firms seeking cost-effective leadership, an outsourced CMO provides a comprehensive team of experts without the overhead of a full-time hire. Outsourced CMOs deliver tailored strategies, streamlined vendor management, and measurable results, making them an efficient alternative to in-house roles. Learn how to choose the right marketing model for your firm while balancing cost, expertise, and scalability in the competitive wealth management industry.
