What I Do

Four disciplines, one pipeline

01

Demand Generation

Integrated, multi-channel programs across email, SEO/SEM, paid, social, video, and events that move pipeline and revenue — not just clicks.

02

Marketing Strategy & GTM

Market assessment, customer research, messaging and positioning, and launch plans that give a product a real path to market.

03

Marketing Ops & Automation

HubSpot ownership, lead scoring, ABM, lifecycle automation, and analytics that shorten the lead-to-customer cycle.

04

Content & Brand

Content frameworks powered by generative AI, brand campaigns, and creative direction across TV, digital, radio, and social.

Favorite Projects
