THE PITCH

You don’t need to figure out AI. You need someone who already has.

WHAT I DO

WHAT I DO

Four ways to work together.

01

A senior marketing leader, without the full-time hire.

Strategy, execution, and AI operations owned by one senior leader. Retainer or project-based, 10–20 hrs/week.

STRATEGY + EXECUTION

Creative Direction

Brand and creative that converts.

Identity, campaign, and voice work — concept through execution, all aligned to one vision. 2–8 weeks.

BRAND + CRAFT
03

Strategy & Campaigns

Campaigns that fill your pipeline.

Brand, demand, and digital — strategy through measurement. Built for businesses ready to scale. 3–10 weeks.

PLAN + LAUNCH
04

AI Implementation

Automate the work eating your time.

Audit, build, and operate AI workflows for email, sales, content, and ops. No technical skills required on your end.
