I've sat on both sides of the table, and there seems to be a real void in intelligent, strategic marketing leadership. From inside the "agency bubble," I saw a lot of dynamic creative, web development, and software shops, but no one was stepping up to provide the skin in the game I felt these clients deserved.
With more than five years of experience inside the "agency bubble," I have seen inside the belly of the beast. I have been part of agency teams supporting clients from Nike (yes, that Nike), technology companies, major universities, large auto dealerships, and everything in between. I've spent the last ten years in executive-level marketing roles, helping grow various SMBs with an impressive track record of building ground-up marketing teams, managing million-dollar budgets, increasing revenue, and even leading to large M&A transactions.
