Kontakt.io, Inc.

While serving as the Head of Marketing for Kontakt.io's huge growth year of 2015, I was also asked to serve as interim head of product to help solve problems with the team's ability to ship new products; they'd launched the Cloud Beacon and the Tough Beacon in 2015 and had not had another key product launch since. Taking over in July 2015, I served as Head of Product alongside being Head of Marketing until, in December 2015, I concentrated solely on the Product role.

Key achievements:
* Increased key launch velocity over 600%, launching a key product every month in January - June 2016
* Built 1 and 2 year product roadmaps and achieved 80% win rate on hitting target release dates.
* Created cross-functional scrum teams that aligned the whole company (engineering, software, marketing, and sales) around product and gave the entire company complete knowledge of our roadmap.

Head of Product

I joined Kontakt.io in a newly-created role of Head of Marketing, and built up the marketing team there from scratch to a group of 7 high-achievers. While I was Head of Marketing, the marketing team was instrumental in: seeing the company through a landmark year of growth, securing a series B round of funding, and establishing a strong company brand and story.

Key achievements in 2015:
* Grew lead captures from 100 a month to over 1,000 a month through content marketing and SEO
* Launched 9 events in 7 cities in 6 months, driving 20% of the company's volume of units sold in 2015 for under $75,000 in event marketing budget.
* Oversaw growth of company sales volume to #1 in the market, an achievement that ABI Research noted and found a "surprising" achievement, with 500,000 units sold in 2015.

Head of Marketing & PR

GOG.com

I joined GOG.com when in the newly-created head of Marketing & PR role when it was a scrappy startup and I was the 16th employee. When I left, they had over 70 employees, were #1 in the classic gaming market segment with over 75% of the market, and had increased revenues over 1,000% from 2010 to 2014. 

Key achievements:
* Grew user base from 250,000 to over 4 million in 4 years; MAUs from 1,000 to over 10,000.
* Organized award-winning tradeshow at PAX; also organized profitable events at E3, Gamescom, GDC and others.
* Front page of Reddit 9 times; front page placement in key trade media at least once a quarter; organic site traffic from social and press sources increased 430% in 4 years. 
* Successfully repositioned brand from niche classic games distributor to leading independent games distributor with ~50% market share on indie games.
* Created high-achieving marketing & PR team of 11 from scratch & had 90%+ employee retention from 2010 - 2014.

I Position Your Company as the Dominant Player in the Market | Increased Revenue and Margins | No Gimmicks, No Magic, No BS | Bad Marketing Sucks Podcast co-host

In the bustling city of Brightville,

Two coffee shops stood side by side. 

Both offered delicious coffee and cozy
atmospheres.

But Brew Haven struggled to stand out.

The owner had a brilliant idea to distinguish 
the business.

Through the power of superior video.

Showcasing the journey of coffee beans from 
farm to cup.

The smeared faces of the dedicated farm 
workers .

Along with the glorious mountainous sunsets.

And meticulous attention to detail. 

Highlighted the passion and dedication in 
every cup.

The video captured the attention of the local community.

Drawing in a wave of new customers curious to experience the magic. 

People were not just buying coffee; they were buying into the story.

The authenticity, and the heart behind the business.

Sales skyrocketed, and the once struggling coffee shop became a local hotspot. 

Is it time to truly differentiate your business?

But you need something else.

No gimmick, No Magic, No BS

I'm Chad.

Over 18 years in marketing, branding and consultancy, working with customers such as Ford, Papa Johns and Domino's.
