The Diagnostic
Three questions I ask every new client.
Mindshare
Do you own the conversation in your category?
Credibility
Is your positioning clear, differentiated, and worth trusting?
Velocity
Is your marketing converting?

If the answer to any of these is "I'm not sure" — that's where we start.

How I Work
Where I plug in.

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

Entry Point
The Diagnostic
Where you are, why it's not working, and what to do about it. You leave with a positioning document, messaging framework, channel strategy, and a prioritized roadmap.

Sprint
The Sprint
You need momentum, not a meeting. I come in, absorb fast, and start executing. I've taken a 20-page concept doc and turned it into a complete brand brief and GTM plan — in weeks, not quarters. No big team required.

"I don't just build campaigns — I build marketing that moves the business forward."
Michael Rosenfeld
25 Years. Agency. Platform. Brand.

I'm a seasoned advertising agency executive with over 25 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.

Who I Work With

I work best with founders and CEOs at companies between $10M and $50M — built enough to have traction, moving fast enough to need real marketing leadership, but not ready for a full-time CMO.

If you want an operator, not an advisor — let's talk.
