Marketing is consistently the department that has the most fun. I don't know why anyone would do any other kind of work. I sort of stumbled into marketing by falling in love customers. Before I recognized the tribe I had joined, I was in too deep to quit. A few years ago after a 20-year career as a marketing lead, I created a boutique fractional CMO firm called CMO Zen. There are many ways to get in over your head, but I had no idea just how much and how fast I would be learning new marketing magic or how caught in it's thrall I would be. The greatest part of that journey has been working with amazing marketing leaders. As a CMO, it's not like you hang out with the other CMOs. It can be a lonely spot. So I'm beyond stoked to be working with some of my marketing idols to launch the UMX. Let's see what we can build together!
