I’m on a mission to bring CMO-level support to small businesses. I know how overwhelming it can feel to make sense of your marketing strategy while juggling the endless demands of running a business. That’s where I come in—to bridge the gap between your big vision and the strategic marketing moves needed to bring it to life. Everything we do together is rooted in data and research, but it’s also deeply aligned with the life you want to create. Because what's the point of building a business that doesn’t support the life you want? As your trusted advisor and strategic partner, my goal is to bring clarity and confidence to your marketing strategy. I’ll hold your bigger vision, find creative ways to help you reach it, and develop a plan for real success. In my world, we only make decisions rooted in evidence and if we don’t have that evidence, we go find it, either through additional research or through strategic experimentation. My intention is to bring clarity and confidence to your marketing strategy. To be a strategic partner to bring fresh ideas and opportunities to the table. Someone that is with you while we experiment with new strategies and campaigns so we can quickly pivot and optimize when needed. And someone to keep an eye on every marketing activity within your business to make sure it’s all aligned, cohesive, and driving real growth. That way you can fully embrace your role as the CEO that you are and focus on what you’re really good at. 💫Data-driven marketing solutions leading to real results💫 ✓ Increased sales to $3M over 2.5 years ✓ $19.6k in a 1 week presale for their first virtual summit ✓ Grew their group membership by 214% in one year ✓ Made their initial investment back in one week with a new sales funnel ✓ 3x their investment and increased membership by 167% ✓ $30k product launch over 1 month ✓ Added 102 new members to their membership in a week and a half ✓ Developed top of funnel strategy including an Instagram ad with a 34% conversion rate ✓ Optimized a membership sales page that led to a 32% increase in membership sign ups during a 1 week pre-launch period ✓ Signed 2 new high-ticket projects in 2 weeks after implementing new messaging strategy
