I'm a results-focused marketing leader with 18 years of experience building brands, accelerating pipeline, and leading digital transformation across staffing, technology, hospitality, and international markets.
I specialize in demand generation, corporate brand strategy, automation, AI-powered workflows, and content systems that convert. My work bridges creativity and analytics, helping organizations increase revenue, sharpen their narrative, and build high-performing marketing operations that scale.

POINT OF VIEW
Marketing in 2026
Five transformative trends reshaping how marketing creates value
GEO Maturity
Generative engines control discovery, so brands win by optimizing for conversational search, structured answers, and authority signals that feed AI results. Visibility depends on usefulness, clarity, and depth.
Predictive Analytics
Marketing decisions shift from reactive to anticipatory. Predictive scoring, behavioral insights, and modeled intent data shape campaigns before buyers even raise a hand.
AI Copilots
Marketing teams rely on AI supported workflows to increase output, reduce production cycles, and standardize quality. Copilots handle the manual work, humans handle the strategy.
Creative Velocity
Brands grow faster when they increase the volume and quality of creative assets. Rapid testing, modular design systems, and iterative production allow marketing teams to outpace competitors.
Buyer Psychology Trends
Buyers follow trust, clarity, and proof. They want transparent storytelling, value forward content, peer validation, and immediate next steps. Emotional connection and credibility matter more than volume.
"The future of marketing isn't about doing more — it's about being
smarter, faster, and more human."
— Stacie Sampson
