"I don't just build campaigns — I build marketing that moves the business forward."
Michael Rosenfeld
Fractional CMO & Growth Strategist

I'm a seasoned advertising agency executive with 20 years solving real marketing and business challenges — from the dawn of programmatic at Mediasmith, to BD at M&C Saatchi, to leading cannabis performance marketing before most agencies knew the category existed.

Where most consultants hand off a strategy deck and disappear, I stay in the work — running media buys, rewriting copy, reallocating budgets, directing creative, and optimizing in real time until the numbers move.

That's the difference between a vendor and a partner.

PHILOSOPHY

Momentum is a force multiplier. In any market, at any stage, the companies that win are the ones that recognize when it's building — and lean in hard. Most brands miss the signal. Most move too slow. The job is to read it first, understand the market, feel the consumer, and build messaging that lands right in the center of the moment. Done right, it feels like alchemy.

A better brand, a sharper site, a more coherent experience — these aren't vanity. They're infrastructure. They make every media dollar work harder, every partnership land cleaner, every sales conversation close faster. Designed to perform and feel effortless. That's not an accident. That's the work.

How I Work
Where I plug in.

Most marketers optimize campaigns.
I build the system that makes every campaign work harder.

i.
Fractional CMO
Senior marketing leadership, embedded in your team. I own the strategy, direct internal talent or agency partners, and report to the C-suite. No ramp-up. Just results.
ii.
Brand Strategy & Positioning
White space analysis, competitive mapping, voice and messaging architecture. I help brands find what makes them undeniable — then build the system to deliver it consistently.
iii.
Performance Media
Programmatic, META, Google, OOH, experiential. $3M+ in managed spend. I know where the money goes and how to make every dollar work harder.
iv.
Go-to-Market Planning
Product launches, market expansions, category pivots. I build the roadmap, align the stakeholders, and execute from day one — for startups and publicly traded companies alike.
v.
Cannabis & Regulated Markets
In this category since 2019, before most agencies knew how to spell compliance. Geo-targeting, restricted platforms, state-by-state strategy. I wrote the early playbook.
vi.
Partnerships & Activation
From Weedmaps × Jack in the Box to Lagunitas × Cannabis Now. I find the unexpected collaboration, build the strategy, and execute the activation end-to-end.
