I’ve worked as a Group Creative Director, Copywriter, Consultant and Voice Actor for dozens of brands, both with agencies and directly with clients.
I give brands a voice. I bring ideas that are bigger than the brief. I bring storytelling to the table, regardless of the assignment. Every package of work I deliver, every deck I share, comes with a fearless point of view and a unique voice.
I’ve done it all. Big budget stuff, no budget stuff, working directly with A-list celebrities like Jamie Foxx and Sydney Sweeney, as well as non-union unknowns.
I present and sell work to every level of C-suite brass. I put on a show, I don’t hold back.
Below are a few of the fine folks I’ve collaborated with, as well as a picture of me hugging one of them. That’s real emotion. They were not paid to do so.

Rene Huey-Lipton
Chief Strategy Officer@The DAME Collective
Verified
I do three things:
1. THE IN-BETWEENER: Fractional Strategy Leadership
You’re hiring a CSO or SVP of Strategy. Great. That search will take 4–9 months. In the meantime, your strategy function is frozen or held together by a stressed-out team. I’m the person who keeps the lights on, the agency honest, and the clients from noticing the gap—while making sure the room is actually ready when your new person walks in.
2. THE CONSULTANT: Authenticity & The Women’s Economy
I help brands stop "performing" for Gen X women—the demographic with the most spending power and the least brand loyalty—and start building equity that lasts. I implement The Authenticity Standard™ to bridge the gap between claimed values and lived brand behavior.
3. THE ADVOCATE: Infrastructure for Women
I founded The Women’s Economy because the difference between a network and an economy is how many times a dollar circulates before it leaves. I build the "plumbing"—the circulation mechanisms and economic architecture—that keeps wealth inside the female ecosystem.
HOW TO WORK WITH ME
I operate as an embedded, operational leader or a high-impact consultant. I’m not a retainer for occasional check-ins; I am present for as long as the transition or the transformation takes.
Fractional CSO/SVP: Full strategic oversight during leadership transitions. I diagnose what's broken, keep client relationships intact, and ensure your new hire isn't walking into a dumpster fire.
The Authenticity Audit: A deep-dive gap analysis between your corporate claims and consumer belief.
Gen X Audience ID: Strategic roadmaps to capture the $15.2T "invisible" generation.
Product Innovation: Designing and positioning products that solve for the actual lives of women, not marketing stereotypes.More...
Jerry Courtney
Fractional CMO and Executive Go-to-Market Strategist@Courtney Go-to-Market Strategies
Verified
I started Courtney Go-to-Market Strategies to give small and mid-sized companies access to the kind of strategic marketing horsepower they usually can’t find outside of a big corporate team. I work as a fractional CMO, stepping in to help when growth has stalled, when brands or products need repositioning, or when marketing systems just aren’t performing. My approach is simple: Know Why, Know How, No Bull. I dig into the data and the business to clarify what’s really holding growth back, then I connect that clarity with intent through practical go-to-market strategies. From analysis and planning to managing execution and building systems, I stay hands-on until it’s working in the day-to-day. The result is that my clients—founders, CEOs, other CMOs, or PE firms—get unstuck, kickstart growth, and move forward with confidence.More...
