Limited engagements · meaningful partnerships

Work with Chris

I help organizations turn messy marketing, data, content, and AI ideas into clearer systems that drive action.

This is not "marketing help." It is clarity, execution, and better decision systems... strategy, analytics, AI, and experience systems for organizations ready to work smarter. I take on a small number of engagements at a time, on purpose: if I take it on, I want to do it well.

Three ways to start

Clarify

Marketing Clarity Audit

For organizations that need to know what is working, what is broken, and what to do next. A structured review of your marketing, analytics, and digital experience... delivered as a clear, prioritized roadmap.

Build

AI Workflow Sprint

For teams that want to use AI but need practical workflows, prompts, guardrails, and training. Use AI without losing the human touch.

Guide

Fractional Marketing Strategy

Senior marketing, data, and AI guidance without hiring full-time. Ongoing advisory for teams that need clarity, momentum, and practical execution support.

The pattern behind everything: Clarify (audits, diagnostics, strategy) → Build (systems, workflows, dashboards, campaigns) → Guide (ongoing advisory and fractional leadership).

What I can help with

Marketing Strategy

Campaign planning, channel strategy, paid media review, lifecycle marketing, and customer journey design.

Analytics & Reporting

Dashboard planning, KPI definition, performance reporting, marketing audits, and insight translation... not just "here are the numbers," but "here is what they mean, and what we should do next."

AI Workflow Consulting

AI readiness audits, team training, prompt libraries, content workflows, automation planning, and human-in-the-loop systems.

Digital Experience

Website audits, landing page strategy, conversion improvement, content systems, and experience design.

Fractional Strategy Support

Ongoing senior-level guidance for teams that need clarity, momentum, and practical execution support.

Who this works best for

Nonprofits, associations, and mission-driven organizations
Founder-led businesses and startups
Professional services and healthcare-adjacent organizations
Membership, events, and education organizations
Teams that need senior strategy help without a full-time hire
