    Ready to amplify your brand's impact and ignite growth? I'm an experienced marketing strategist dedicated to developing measurable strategies for a diverse range of B2C and B2B clients. My expertise spans a wide spectrum, from guiding nimble startups and growing SMBs to partnering with global Fortune 500 brands such as Ameriprise, Coca-Cola, Dell, DuPont, General Mills, Hormel, IBM, Time-Warner, TransUnion, and Yahoo!, among many others. While my core focus lies in crafting impactful social and digital content strategies, my approach is holistic and integrated. I leverage deep insights, extensive experience, and strategic intuition to create comprehensive campaigns that drive action and deliver a strong return on investment across all channels. For new and growing brands, I offer essential support in establishing a strong brand foundation. This includes developing comprehensive Brand Guidelines that articulate your mission, vision, target audiences, brand voice, and core messaging, ensuring consistent communication across all touchpoints. Kindly note: My expertise is in strategy development, not implementation. However, I can often recommend and help you identify talented freelancers to assist with content creation, logo and website design, UX, and other execution tasks.

    I Turn Struggling Startups Into Revenue Machines I've helped dozens of startups build revenue-generating growth marketing engines that work. I'm a VP of Growth, growth marketing leader, and can expertly lead your marketing initiatives across CS, sales, and marketing. What Sets Me Apart I build revenue machines that generate leads your c-suite and sales team actually want. I can quickly assess your current leaks, and high-impact initiatives. This includes data/research and marketing ops initiatives, as well as channel testing, brand pillars, and performance marketing strategies for you to prioritize and test. I can also help you build an elegant GTM plan that actually works for your customer journey or B2B sales team, that includes events and tradeshows (this sytem took me years to figure out, and I've never met a marketer who has cracked the code better tbh!) - Most clients see their first meaningful lift within 60 days. - Startup marketing inefficiency doesn't intimidate me--I'll help you build a playbook and experimentation that actually drives lasting success for your company. - 10 years across 75+ clients taught me the difference between marketing that "looks good" and marketing that succeeds. - I integrate with your team and take time to get to know them -- or work solo. I've been doing this long enough where lack of resources, or disorganized resources is easy peasy for me to work with. Problems I Solve ✅ "Our CAC is killing us" – I've helped clients cut customer acquisition costs by 70-90% while doubling conversion rates ✅ "We're stuck at [current revenue]" – I specialize in breaking through revenue plateaus that stump other marketers ✅ "Our marketing feels scattered, we don't have a revenue generating marketing system yet" – I build cohesive funnels that turn every touchpoint into a conversion opportunity A Few Things I Can Do for You -Full-funnel optimization (not top-of-funnel vanity metrics) -PPC audit and management (Google Ads, Meta) with ROI guarantees -Local or international expansion strategies that actually work -Analytics ecosystems that track what matters -KPI frameworks that align with actual business goals -Conversion rate optimization that achieves results -Marketing team structure and hiring (I know who to hire and when) -Stakeholder communication that keeps everyone aligned -Scalable processes that don't break as you grow Tools I Use Daily Google Ads, Meta, HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Analytics, MixPanel, Figma, Slack, Discord Here's What Happens Next Happy to work on an hourly basis to see if we're a good fit, at first. We can do a quick 15-30min alignment call. I'll let you know if I don't think I'm a good fit, and why, if that's the case. How many marketers do that?!
