AI Content Marketing for Fractional CMOs in Education Technology (EdTech) SaaS

The challenge: Content Marketing for Fractional CMOs in Education Technology (EdTech) SaaS

FERPA (student education records — requires annual notification and DPA with every vendor); COPPA (online services for under-13 require verifiable parental consent or school consent under COPPA's school official exception); CIPA (internet filtering requirements tied to E-rate funding); state student privacy laws (CA SOPIPA, NY Ed Law 2-d — among the most restrictive); ESSA evidence tiers for federal-funded purchases; state data governance and breach notification laws On Content Marketing, that means Ingest content briefs from SEO Agent and convert them into full draft articles; Score each draft against readability, brand voice, E-E-A-T signals, and keyword density targets — all needing consistent execution a stretched a fractional CMO can rarely sustain by hand.
