I enjoy helping others while working in a team environment; as well as, working independently. I possess over 20 years of customer service/client focused experience. My most amazing skill set I am most proud of is my strong work ethic. I am mostly recognized for the exceptional and professional service I deliver to every customer/ client interaction. I possess exceptional time management skills; I'm self-driven, self-motivated, an analytical problem solver and a critical thinker. I'm one that follows through to obtain a wholesome resolution at any given opportunity. Additionally, I am assertive, a detail oriented woman that is always thinking with a sound mind. Shanetta L. Grant, BBA, HRM "Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for the love of it." ~ Henry David Thoreau

What looks like 200 options on Upwork is typically 3 people who can actually move a business forward, buried under 197 who deliver activity reports. I am one of those three. I am Henry "Hank Hugh" Hernandez, CEO of Digital Strategy Group and Fractional CMO to established businesses generating $2M or more in annual revenue. One billion dollars in documented client revenue. One million-plus keywords ranked. Twenty-plus years operating across SEO, GEO, AEO, paid media, content, CRO, email and SMS, and AI marketing systems. Expert-Vetted Top 1 percent on Upwork. Backed by a 50-plus person DSG execution team. When I told military recruiters I wanted to be a U.S. Army Ranger — part of JSOC Special Operations, the elite tier across all military branches — they laughed me out of the office. I went to a different recruiter. Got the contract. Shipped out February 2002. Within one month at 1st Ranger Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, I was walking the mountains of Afghanistan on real-world missions. Then Iraq. Then other places I cannot name. That is not a biography. That is an operating standard. Since 1998 — at 16 years old — I have been building websites and marketing my own companies with real money on the line. My first agency engagement in 2005: I cut excessive link spend by 90 percent and delivered 10x the output in 90 days. Built the systems, built the team, and reached a point where I could predict keyword rankings with near 100 percent accuracy — then proved it live on client sales calls. That precision is what built the fCMO Mission Doctrine: my named methodology for Fractional CMO engagements, modeled on Special Operations doctrine and refined across 20 years of proof. It is the leadership layer above the DSG Command Stack — channel execution across 10+ marketing surfaces — and the DSG Agency Operating System, the 50-plus person execution discipline that runs underneath. THREE WAYS TO ENGAGE Tell me what to do. Strategic Counsel. I advise, your team executes, bi-weekly cadence. For businesses with marketing leadership in place who need senior strategic counsel on top. Do it with me. Layer 1 Fractional CMO. I take the marketing leadership seat and own revenue outcomes. Your team or vendors execute under my direction. Do it for me. Layer 2, Layer 3, or Interim CMO. I take the seat and DSG runs the channels. Full operational ownership. Single retainer. One accountable partner. No vendor juggling. No finger-pointing. Every engagement opens with a Mission Analysis — a paid diagnostic that names what is broken before commitment. Gating decision. Real receipts. For initial conversations: message me and I will walk you through sharing access so I come prepared with real findings before we talk. That preparation turns a 30-minute call into a roadmap. Campaigns for Coca-Cola, Ferrari, Bank of America, Lockheed Martin, and Intel. Growth for Panini, Cabela's, Teladoc, and Curls. A Senior SEO Advisor at Dell Technologies: "Henry has a deep knowledge of what it takes for a website to rank well. He is one of the most honest businessmen I have ever worked with." HIGH-ROI VERTICALS Healthcare and Medical — 1,183 percent 3-year SEO ROI Financial Services — 1,031 percent ROI; organic delivers 5x versus paid Home Services, HVAC, Roofing, Plumbing — 678 percent ROI, 6-month break-even eCommerce — Ranked nationally for competitive product terms Cannabis and CBD — Paid ads blocked; organic carries 3 to 5x standard value B2B SaaS — 702 percent 3-year average ROI Mass Tort and Personal Injury Legal — One ranked term pays for 12 months of SEO Local and Multi-Location — Proven map pack domination DSG COMMAND STACK Google Organic, GEO, AEO, Local Pack, Google Maps Google Ads, Meta and Instagram Ads Conversion Rate Optimization Email and SMS Automation Reputation Management and Review Generation Server-Side Tracking and GA4 AI Marketing Systems and Workflow Automation NOT A FIT FOR: Startups, one-time projects, lowest-price searches, or anyone looking for a freelancer. RIGHT FIT: Established businesses at $2M or more in revenue, ready to treat marketing as a revenue investment with a senior operator and a proven team behind it. Let's do a 30-minute call this week. Henry "Hank Hugh" Hernandez, Fractional CMO, fCMO Mission Doctrine
