Meet Your Guide

If you’ve filled the role of “buck stops here”, you know there is no magic bullet and no one-size-fits-all formula to growth. You know how hard it is to create the conditions needed to grow a business.

In the last 15+ years, I led marketing at a start-up software company that grew from $8M in annual revenue to $31M in 24 months; increased the customer base of a financial services company 3X in 18 months on their way to becoming a nationally-recognized firm; led the development and delivery of a media product impacting over 20M people globally; and helped dozens of small businesses reach the next level in their growth. 

Each project required focused effort in different ways and different places—but it’s always the same approach:

Insights + Action = Growth.

The StoryBrand and Business Made Simple “operating system” gives you both the insights and the action steps to achieve growth through simple and scalable frameworks and processes.

Together, let’s unlock the insights and take the actions that lead to profitable and predictable growth. Let’s see you achieve the business success you always knew you could.

Testimonials

Kind words from great clients & colleagues.

I had the pleasure of working with Marc. He is an exceptional leader with strong interpersonal skills, a unique capacity for empathy, and a high sense of integrity. His gentle demeanor and “win-win” approach at business negotiations and partner development are only eclipsed by his keen strategic mind and strong work ethic. He is team and service oriented and always mindful of the bottom line. Marc was an asset to our organization and I highly recommend him to any employer seeking a strong leader.

Marc is one of the brightest minds I’ve ever worked with when it comes to branding, storytelling, and crafting a unique message. He understands how to clearly position and articulate a company’s values, beliefs, and core strengths, and tell it in a way that a consumer will comprehend. In my experience, it’s difficult to find someone who is both equally gifted in brand strategy, and creative direction, and Marc is exactly that.

Great strategy and great interpersonal leadership advice and mentorship.
Marc is the real deal and super helpful.

Sombrero Time and Spanish Curriculum

Marc has the unique ability of arriving at an organization and turning marketing chaos into revenue growth within a short amount of time. He quickly identifies short term opportunities to produce “quick wins” — while at the same time developing winning marketing strategies that are sustainable. The results of implementing his “marketing blueprint” are remarkable and I recommend him. Marc is a great leader and has been both a professional and personal mentor to me.

I had the pleasure of working with Marc both in my role at the The Institute for Digital Transformation and as a member of the board with itSMF USA. Marc was a great inspiration to me in terms of how marketing should really be done. He approached it authentically, creatively and with a commitment to do good, while promoting the brand effectively. And this approach produced significant results! I believe this stems from his character as a person. He is one of the nicest, most open, insightful and thoughtful people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and with which to work. I highly endorse Marc on every level.

Forbes’ “Top 10 Qualities that Make a Great Leader” include the following: honesty, ability to delegate, communication, sense of humor, confidence, commitment, positive attitude, creativity, intuition, and ability to inspire. Without exception, Marc excels at all of these qualities. Finding the balance between fun and productivity can be elusive for many leaders, but not to him. Thus, his energized, affirmed, empowered team will go the extra mile to achieve objectives — and the results speak for themselves.
