I turn smart ideas into marketing systems that hold up under pressure.
Strategy. Structure. Storytelling.
Built to scale. Still human.
I work with SaaS, services, creative teams, and data-led firms across the world. Different industries. Same need. Clarity, momentum, and a plan that survives contact with reality.
Services
01
Fractional CMO Leadership
Senior marketing leadership, without the full-time hire.
Positioning, GTM planning, channel strategy, team direction, vendor orchestration, and execution rhythm.
Outcome: a calmer pipeline and a team that knows what to do next.
Every engagement is holistically built for follow-through.
If we work together, it's because the work matters and you plan to do something real with it.
Pricing Philosophy
Most clients pay a flat monthly fee starting around $3,000 USD.
Every agreement is bespoke and built for growth.
If your current budget is smaller, we start there and scale.
I don’t sell discounts — I build strategies that pay for themselves.
If the bill goes up, that means I did my job.
My Philosophy
I believe clarity is the highest form of respect.
Most marketing problems are identity problems, not tactical ones. Tools don’t save teams. Judgment does. Marketing is infrastructure, not output. Identity precedes execution. Trust compounds faster than tactics.
When it’s done right, marketing feels inevitable.
Hey, I’m Evan!
I’m a Fractional CMO, marketing strategist, and creative operator based in Chicago, USA. I help founders, consultants, and small teams make their ideas seen, bought, heard, and felt. My work sits at the intersection of intelligence, wit, and structure. Creative enough to stand out. Clear enough to actually work.
I’ve worked with clients on every continent, from early-stage startups to B2B firms, creative agencies, and data consultancies. Different industries, same throughline. Curiosity. Ambition. And something worth saying.
I started in social selling and community marketing, which is where I learned how attention really moves. Since then, I’ve led marketing and partnerships for brands that want to grow without selling their soul. The skill set is deep and varied, but the goal stays simple. Build momentum that lasts.
I don’t work alone. I bring in a trusted network of specialists when it makes sense, expanding capacity across content strategy, social media, public relations, community marketing, research, personas, branding, audio and video, design, web, revenue operations, influencer work, email, and paid media.
At the end of the day, I help smart ideas become impossible to ignore.
No spam. No hustle poetry. Just useful ideas.

Walls of Love
Evan has been a tremendous source of clarity and insight for me during a time when I was trying to get my bearings in the sales and marketing world. He has a rare ability to break down complex ideas in a way that feels approachable, and he does it with a lot of patience and zero ego.
He’s sharp, thoughtful, and genuinely enjoyable to talk to. He took the time to understand the specific challenges my agency is facing and offered guidance that felt tailored rather than generic. That alone speaks volumes about how he approaches his work.

Evan knows social engagement and how to attract customers. It's hard to find someone who knows themselves and uses this strength to build a company. I've watched him build 2-3 social media presences for brands and each one has leveled up by having him onboard.
Then you have the way Evan mentors. He is very giving with his time and helps people who are not as comfortable posting online break out of their shells. He's changing people's careers by encouraging them to be open and take advantage of their strengths.

Evan is a fireball of energy and effectiveness. When it comes to the juxtaposition of modern selling and effective marketing, Evan is among the top practitioners that I could name. I hope to work more closely with him someday on a team together.
Alex Boyd

I've known and worked with Evan for years on various projects. Aside from being a support to what I needed help with Evan willingly and openly shares his knowledge and wisdom.
When you work with Evan, you never feel like a "prospect" or "client", you always feel like a person. His genuine, warm, and mindful approach is so appreciated. He understands the value of building long term trust with clients.

Founder, The Harris Consulting Group
Evan was a guest on my weekly live show The Closing Show Live. He was invited to speak about how to effectively use social selling to book more meetings. This episode was one of the most attended episodes to date. Evan was able to provide an easy-to-understand framework on how to build a social selling strategy as a company and how to execute as an individual. He presented his point-of-view in an entertaining and conversational way, which created an incredible amount of engagement.
Nadia Milani
VP of Marketing, FundThrough
Evan has been a joy to meet and get to know - he is incredibly smart and communicative, willing to share his insights and thought, to uplevel the games of his team and fellow marketers. He crafts impeccable content that is both chock-full of value and authentic. There is a lot of 'preaching' on LinkedIn and Evan's content is refreshingly direct and actionable. I always turn to him when I need a candid take on the work we are doing and he's always willing to make time to support me and our efforts at Gated. Additionally, he's incredibly generous with his recommendations for vendors that he thinks are super, which has been a massive help to me personally.
