Lead
A team that delivers.
I've run a 40-person team and run marketing as a team of one. I hire, coach, and set the numbers we're all held to.
Moves pipeline, revenue, team output
Graham Phillips · GARPco
A CMO that delivers outcomes.
Fractional or full-time. I lead teams, put AI to work where it counts, and build brands that sell.

What I do
Three ways I deliver.
Architect
AI where it pays off.
I know what to build and where: content engines, personalization, sales enablement and reporting, on tools your team will actually use.
Moves acquisition cost, cost per asset, speed to market
Build
Brands built to sell.
Positioning, messaging and identity designed to win deals, not awards. From AI startups to Actual, a data platform rebuilt from scratch.
Moves win rate, pricing power, sales cycle
How it works
Baseline the numbers. Fix what matters. Report what moved.
Every engagement starts with your numbers and ends with a scorecard. As a fractional lead, on a defined sprint, or full-time.
Outcomes
Outcomes I've helped deliver
Brand · Growth
Revenue roughly tripled in two years
At Intent HQ, I led brand, content and marketing through that stretch. AI Company of the Year, British Data Awards 2024.
Rebrand · GTM
New name, new story, new go-to-market
As sole marketing leader at Actual, I led the rebrand from Microblink Commerce (name, positioning, identity) and built the go-to-market engine on AI from day one.
AI product
One NLP engine, licensed marketing products
At Davis & Partners, I helped turn intelligence-community NLP into products sold as licensed IP, including Fuel.AI with Leo Burnett.
Insight
A friction index brands use to fix experiences
I architected an AI-powered index from two-plus years of unprompted public conversation, used by QSR and CPG brands.

$91 million, a record for a living artist
Our team at LIDA built the campaign for Jeff Koons' Rabbit: 1.5B+ impressions, engagement 200% above benchmark, and an Effie.
Agency growth
A New York office, from $0 to about $10M
At M&C Saatchi One to One, I architected the AI-led CRM practice and ran a team of about 40 as we grew the office.
