I’m Evan Patterson.

Fractional CMO. Personal CMO.
LGBTQ+. AuDHD. Two cats who have main-character energy and paperwork opinions.
Metro Detroit-raised, Chicago-thriving, seeking a EU-husband for dual citizenship (kind of not joking...)

A small but vocal group of humans — plus my mother — call me the Joan Rivers of Marketing. I didn’t ask for that title, but I also didn’t give it back.

My work focuses on helping founders, CEOs, and operators stop sounding like they were assembled by committee. When people understand you quickly, everything gets easier: sales, hiring, partnerships, even that awkward moment when someone pretends they’ve heard of your company before.

My entire approach runs on feral specificity.
Egregiously unique. Audaciously effective.
Ideas with teeth. Narratives with posture. Writing that doesn’t need a spotlight to command attention.

I work in two lanes.

The Fractional CMO lane.

This is where companies finally get a marketing function that isn’t held together by vibes, hope, and a Google Doc last updated during the pandemic. I rebuild the structure, the sequencing, and the decisions that keep revenue steady instead of seasonal.

The second lane
The executive identity work.

Voice extraction. Narrative architecture. Brand presence that doesn’t wobble when the market does. There’s more coming in this lane; something I’m building quietly; and it’s shaping the way I help leaders show up with clarity and actual gravitational pull.

I build systems with staying power.
I build brands people remember without squinting.
I build marketing that earns attention because it deserves attention.

People who work well with me tend to appreciate speed, accuracy, and a sense of humor about the chaos they built before I arrived. People who want a polite museum tour of marketing usually exit early.

My goal is consistent: make you unmistakable.

Fractional Content & Community Marketing Leader

We make this easy with tools to create personalized incentives, meaningful recognition & self-defined benefits that help their people unlock "sacred funds" towards their personal life goals.

Employee Motivation Simplified.

Marketing & thought leadership pro with 13+ years experience translating complex tech topics into clear, engaging content that resonates with your target audience 🎯 strategic 📑 editor 📖 storyteller 👻B2B ghostwriter

Go ahead, use ChatGPT for all your writing needs instead of paying a professional.  You'll just be wasting your time and resources on a lost opportunity with forgettable AI slop that can never achieve the primary goal of content marketing  -- standing out from the competition. 

For that, you need extraordinary content that attracts and engages human interest. 

Think you can't afford it? 
Think again. Extraordinary content not only deliver ROI now but continues to deliver value for years to come!

🎯Outstanding Branding Strategy 💼Project Management 📖Storytelling 👻Ghostwriting 📰 Journalism 📑Editing 🦸‍♀️Superpower: translating complex tech & financial topics into engaging SEO-optimized content that converts!

I specialize in interviewing subject matter experts to render complex topics into clear and engaging stories, earning the highest compliment you can give a ghostwriter: "It sounds like me -- only better!" 

I deliver greater value with content that works not just for the moment but retains audience interest and traffic for years. See the proof here: https://ariellabrownportfolio.blogspot.com  

I  plan, create, and edit textual content of any length -- from taglines to whitepapers, as well as web content,  eBooks, ghostwritten articles, video scripts, social media posts, and case studies. Everything I write is  both accurate and engaging, conveying a human voice that can never be duplicated by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other generative AI.

I have over 15  years of experience reporting on tech.  My work has been published in AdAge, Baseline, DMN, Dice, EBN, EE Times, Forbes, Information Week, CoinDesk, CFO, CSO, Runtime, Techopedia, Telco Transformation, and Light Reading. 

I've acquired a deep understanding of innovations in technology, including 3D printing, 5G, AI, blockchain, cloud computing, cybersecurity,  FinTech, IoT, InsurTech, SaaS, and their business applications.

My clients and employers included a number of startups and other tech-centered businesses like IBM, GE, and Oracle. My branding, marketing strategy, demand generation, lead generation, SEO, and social media delivered exceptional results for them. 

Notable achievements include increasing site traffic and engagement through strategic content planning, bringing in a sales qualified lead for a six-figure content within 24 hours of the publication of a single article, increasing distribution and reach by producing high-quality articles that other publications request to run them, and contributing to two startups reaching their goal of being acquired.
