Technology expertise for your marketing & data stack

From plan to platform to insight — I help you architect, connect, and engineer your marketing technology and data so it drives revenue, not just dashboards.

01

Architecture & Roadmapping

Plan your marketing & data platform

Know where your martech stack is headed before you buy the next tool. I map your current martech and data landscape and design a pragmatic future-state — then a roadmap that ties every platform investment to pipeline, revenue, and growth goals.

  • Audit your current martech/data landscape + a future-state architecture
  • A roadmap tying platform spend to pipeline, revenue & growth
  • Independent vetting of martech proposals, vendors, and big decisions

  • Executive translation: I disambiguate obscure technical decisions into clear business choices, and prep you with the core knowledge to ask the right questions of your team and vendors.
  • Planning heft & “octopus hands”: Don't let a good idea stall for lack of a technical collaborator — I'll turn goals into practical designs, RFP-ready specs, cost justifications, and exec-ready decision points.
  • Investment priorities & long-range budgeting: Where to invest, where to sunset, and what's coming — a roadmap with staff and vendor planning so you're never surprised by an end-of-life or a renewal.
  • Project approval & vetting: Independent, non-political review of proposals — alternatives, hard-but-fair questions, and the costs people overlook (change management, year 2–3 support, backups).
02

Systems Integration

Connect your marketing systems into one platform

Turn a pile of disconnected tools — CRM, CMS, marketing automation, ad platforms, CDP, the back office — into a platform that works as a cohesive whole. Integration is rarely just technical; it means forging consensus across marketing, sales, and ops.

  • Connect CRM, CMS, marketing automation, ad platforms & back-office systems
  • Integration roadmaps with adoption & training, not just APIs
  • Break silos so marketing, sales & ops share one view
See what this looks like →
  • Integration acceleration: A consensus-backed plan that fits your org's real strengths and limits — with the training and adoption support stakeholders and vendors need to actually succeed.
  • Right-fit selection: Replacing or picking a system? Deep CRM, CMS, marketing-automation, and analytics knowledge to choose the best fit for how you work, not the flashiest “best in class.”
  • Organizational technology map: Auditing and reverse-engineering your platform, data, and vendors into clear system and data diagrams — often documented for the first time.
  • Interdepartmental coordination: Shared roadmaps and working groups so marketing, sales, and ops row together instead of defending turf.

Data Engineering

Clean, holistic marketing data

Engineer the data moving between your marketing systems — and out of the platform — so campaign, customer, and spend data arrives clean, consistent, and holistic. Pipelines and a warehouse you can build on, not numbers you second-guess before every board meeting.

  • Design & de-risk campaign, customer & spend pipelines and models
  • Make marketing data clean, consistent & holistic across sources
  • Catch fragility before it breaks a campaign — or a migration
See what this looks like →
  • Pipeline & warehouse design: Design or review ingestion, models, and warehouse structure so what feeds every report is sound from the ground up.
  • Data quality & consistency: Reconcile the definitions and sources behind your numbers so “revenue” or “active customer” means one thing everywhere.
  • Migration de-risking: Find the fragile joints before a re-platform or vendor migration turns a small crack into an outage.
  • “Help, I'm stuck” support: Just-in-time help for the moments your team hits a wall building or extending a pipeline.

Analytics & Reporting

Turn data into insight that steers your spend

Put that clean data to work: uncover the trends in your marketing performance, double down on the channels and campaigns that drive revenue, and starve the ones that don't — so every dollar of spend compounds on success.

  • Marketing metrics and attribution your whole team trusts
  • Dashboards that surface channel, campaign & spend performance
  • Build on winning campaigns and cut wasted marketing spend
See what this looks like →
  • Source-of-truth metrics: A shared data dictionary and governed definitions so dashboards get trusted, not second-guessed.
  • Reporting people actually use: BI built around real business questions, plus safe self-serve to ease the reporting bottleneck.
  • Attribution & spend analysis: Connect campaign, channel, and spend data to outcomes — double down on what works, cut what doesn't.
  • Competitive & peer analysis: A trusted thought partner to spot where your best “wins” are — advice meant to help you succeed, not sell you a shiny object.
