ABOUT ME

***Built and sold 4 companies*** |*** marketing automation expert***| ***Army vet with leadership training experience.***

----------------
So I am a remote CMO and I just stated in my title to NOT hire a marketer. Why did I say that? Well, many marketers are full of hot air. Sorry, but it's true. Tens of thousands of "growth marketers" and "ROI focused marketers" are flooding clients with resumes and job proposals. These marketers may have a particular skillset in marketing, or perhaps two but to truly prove yourself as a marketer you have to be able to built and sell a company yourself. Why? Because a company grows for MANY reasons, not just marketing. Many marketers come into a growing company, spend a year there then state "I helped take this company from $1 million to $10 million in revenue in a year", and it would have happened without them! I personally have built and sold 4 companies, so I can put say confidently that I CAN GROW COMPANIES. So don't "just" hire a marketer, hire a marketer that is also an ENTREPRENEUR.
----------------
I am a Fractional CMO with over 18 years of experience leading marketing teams for companies under $10 million in revenue in over a dozen sectors such as e-commerce, consumer goods, healthcare, technology, B2B, B2C, SaaS, and more.

As a marketing leader and Chief Marketing Officer, I’ve built and expanded dozens of startups both pre-revenue and post-revenue (over 110) that were either bootstrapped or investor funded.

+Grew a consumable goods product from $0 in revenue to $2.2 million within 18 months
+Got 1.2 million page views in one day for a fitness company
+Added over $600k in revenue to a financial company by creating a partnership program from their existing network (no outbound marketing)

Some REAL testimonials I have recently received:

"If you are truly serious about growing your company and brand presence - Mike is the one. We reviewed hundreds of marketing personal before hiring him and without question the best business decision we have ever made. Mike took on our meager budget and worked his magic by grasping the want and needs of our clientele immediately and using his and our time to gain both instant results as well as building a long-term marketing plan for sustained growth. He worked diligently with us from the start and walked us through the entire process. Mike was most of all focused on ensuring our cost of return was first and foremost by delegating work as needed to his team of experts. His most powerful skillset is the ability to use his extensive knowledge in all facets of the field and place his team where they can work fast and effectively for results. Our marketing costs have been reduced substantially with better results than expected. We are blown away by our success thus far and will continue using both Mike and his team for as long as they are available. " -Glenn P, Freeland, WA

"I had a whole team of marketers at my company and Mike came in and thought of radical ideas that put them all on a new path" -Keith, San Francisco, CA
