Ten years of building marketing programs that hold up across B2B software, luxury real estate, regulated financial products, and consumer brands. Strategy and execution, often at the same time.
See my workGet in touchPositioning, messaging, visual identity, and the standards that keep everything consistent at scale. From naming a company to writing the copy that closes a deal.
Product launches, channel strategy, sales enablement, and the messaging frameworks that help teams compete and win. Built for real audiences, not personas.
Writing that earns attention: thought leadership, campaign copy, PR, and the kind of narrative that makes a brand feel like it was always going to exist.
Building lean, high-output marketing functions using AI tools and agentic workflows. Less time on production, more time on judgment and creative direction.
LFI've spent my career stepping into situations where the marketing function needed to be built, not inherited, and then building it.
At Artifex Software I joined as the second marketing hire and ended up running the department, managing agencies, owning PR, and driving the go-to-market strategy for developer tools used by millions. In luxury real estate I've done the same thing at the agent level: positioning, storytelling, and the materials that win listings in competitive markets.
Along the way I've marketed SEC-regulated investment products to broker networks, run eCommerce and events for a family business, and built websites for clients who needed to look as good as they actually are.
These days I'm particularly interested in what AI makes possible for lean marketing teams, and I'm building that out in real time.
I also have a good sense of humor about all of it, which turns out to matter more than most job descriptions admit.
Joined as the second hire, took over the department after three months, and built the strategy, systems, and agency relationships that ran for four years. Products: Ghostscript and MuPDF.
Embedded marketing partner for top-producing agents in Marin County. Positioning, listing presentations, segmented content, and technology adoption across an active agent base.
