B2B demand generation and brand strategy for 3PLs, freight brokers, and logistics technology companies competing in a transformed supply chain market.
Schedule Logistics Strategy CallThe logistics industry is experiencing unprecedented disruption - from nearshoring and supply chain diversification to the rise of logistics technology platforms. Companies that build strong marketing programs now will win the customer relationships that persist through the next decade of supply chain evolution.
Shippers often view logistics as a commodity. Brand and thought leadership programs that demonstrate operational expertise are key differentiators.
Logistics deals are won through relationships and trust. Marketing must support long-cycle BD without appearing pushy in a relationship-driven industry.
Logistics software companies must cut through a crowded market of TMS, WMS, and visibility platforms - each claiming similar capabilities.
Freight volumes and rates are cyclical. Marketing strategy must adapt to market conditions without abandoning long-term brand investment.
Logistics CMO engagements run 12–18 months at 20–30 hours per month. Deliverables include a vertical market strategy, content library, digital demand gen program, and quarterly marketing reviews.
Fractional CMO retainers for logistics range from $7,500–$18,000/month. Full-time VPs of Marketing at logistics companies earn $160K–$260K+.
When to hire: Hire fractional when entering a new vertical, launching a new service line, or when the sales team is growing but marketing support hasn't scaled proportionally.
Logistics industry experience is a meaningful advantage. Look for someone who understands supply chain buyer personas (VP of Supply Chain, Director of Logistics) and has created content that resonates with these audiences.
