How can I help?

Hiring a senior marketing leader can be expensive. With me, you’ll get the benefits of a seasoned marketer to advise and manage your marketing initiatives for a fraction of the cost.

Aside from the initial strategy work, my expertise is best complimented by companies with at least one junior marketer to assist with ongoing execution.

With over 10 years of experience leading various marketing disciplines, I can help you with a wide range of marketing needs:

 

  • Marketing Strategy

  • Brand Strategy & Positioning

  • E-commerce Strategy & Conversion Optimization

  • Customer Acquisition & Channel Strategy

  • Marketing Budgets

  • Email Marketing & Automation

  • Analytics, Marketing Software & Operations

  • Team & Execution Management

  • Graphic Design & Paid Social Ads

  • Ongoing retainers subject to availability
     

Resume / CV

Having spent most of my career working in-house for brands, I understand the importance of making every marketing dollar/euro count, working cross-collaboratively, managing teams effectively, and achieving results.
