Why Your AI Marketing Stack Isn't Working
96% of B2B marketers use AI. Only 19% have it in daily workflows. The gap isn't the tools — it's that nobody built the system.
15+ years. Four continents.
Still finds this stuff fascinating.
I partner with founders, executives, and business owners who believe great marketing builds real businesses — and want someone who will roll up their sleeves and build it with them.
That curiosity never left. It's why I ended up in marketing — it sits at the intersection of everything: strategy, creativity, technology, and the very human question of why people choose one thing over another.
Nobody handed me a seat at the table — I built one. I've worked in rooms where marketing was an afterthought and left with something that moved the business. At the enterprise level, with startups, on Main Street. The scale changes. The fundamentals don't.
I get into the work. Teams built across four continents, campaigns run in a dozen markets, and a genuine fluency in the cultural nuances that make global marketing work — not just translate.
I use AI because I built workflows that actually deliver — not because it's trendy. I find the whole business of marketing endlessly interesting after 15 years. If you need someone who gets oriented fast, builds something real, and leaves things better than they found them — that's the work I was made for.
I've built and run marketing programs across four regions — not from a distance, but embedded in the markets, the cultures, and the time zones.
"His ability to distill complex challenges into clear, actionable strategies is nothing short of remarkable. His insights into managing global initiatives have reshaped how I lead, empowering me to execute with clarity and purpose."
"His leadership made a huge difference — combining clear strategic vision with an approachable, collaborative style that empowered the entire team. What stood out most was how invested he was in the team's success."
"Senior leadership greatly trusted Erik, frequently turning to him to tackle complex challenges and deliver results. His versatility is unparalleled — whether leading teams locally or across continents, he creates an environment that encourages growth."
Frameworks that work. ABM done right. A blog that gets to the mechanics. And fractional support that operates at your level — no ramp time needed.

Read Erik's story →From a global marketing org to a solo founder who needs their first real funnel. The tools differ. The thinking is the same.
I sit with the sales team, understand the customer, and build with my hands — not just my opinions.
Real workflows, not buzzwords. Content pipelines, research automation, reporting systems — built and in use, saving hours every week.
Whatever I build, I document and hand off cleanly. Your team should be stronger when I leave than when I arrived.
