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

Ditch the gift cards, scrap the underutilized benefits package, and focus on the individuals in your organization instead.

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.

Emerging technologies mean nothing without people who can turn them into measurable, lasting impact.

I’m the technology executive and Solutioneer, someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, software engineering, and human leadership. For over 20 years, I’ve helped organizations across aerospace, manufacturing, fintech, and SaaS modernize their software and data ecosystems, deploy AI at scale, and transform legacy IT into high-performance digital engines.

Whether it’s leading multi-cloud transformations, architecting AI-driven forecasting platforms, or unifying fragmented post-M&A software applications for 50,000+ users, I bring both the technical depth and human insight to make innovation sustainable.

Key Wins:
🔹 Delivered $380M in inventory reductions and 99% demand forecasting accuracy through predictive analytics and ERP integration.
🔹 Cut 265 days from procurement cycles and saved $25M annually with global RPA automation.
🔹 Modernized aerospace systems for Lockheed Martin and Boeing, improving software reliability by 30%.
🔹 Scaled AI and analytics platforms powering 150K monthly purchase orders across 10,000+ global users.

I believe the best technology doesn’t just work; it empowers people. My teams don’t just write code; they build the frameworks that keep businesses moving and people connected.

If your organization is ready to accelerate digital transformation, modernize your systems, or harness AI responsibly, let’s connect. I’m always open to collaborating, advising, or leading initiatives that turn complex challenges into measurable results.

Let’s talk about building what’s next.
