See what our clients have to say about partnering with Authentic Brand
A fractional CMO gave us the ability to bring on an experienced marketing leader while maintaining flexibility with how we were scaling our efforts. Bringing on a fractional CMO through Authentic Brand has been an excellent decision for our company.
Eva Mach – President & CEO, Pro-Tec Design
A fractional CMO has been an ideal way to remove the marketing piece from senior management with limited time and marketing knowledge. As a community bank we pay close attention to efficiency ratios and the bottom line. A fractional CMO is one way we can maximize our marketing budget.
Sarah Kolek – CEO, Boundary Waters Bank
Until recently, marketing had not been a core function in our business. Authentic Brand's fractional CMO offering was an ideal solution to help us bridge our resource gaps and build toward a strong, modern marketing organization.
Rob Duff – COO, Coherent Solutions
Authentic Brand provided valuable fractional marketing leadership for MedHub during a season of transition and growth. From day one, the experienced marketer built strong trust with our internal stakeholders and demonstrated deep understanding of our SaaS business model.
David Gagne – General Manager, MedHub
As a new leader joining 7Summits to build a marketing competency, Authentic Brand's sophisticated knowledge of EOS and partnership-oriented coaching approach absolutely accelerated my time to productivity and the function’s delivery of measurable results.
Bethany Perkins – Vice President of Marketing, 7Summits
Every great consultant needs a great consultant, and Authentic Brand is the ideal partner for our business. Authentic Brand helps Beehive elevate and differentiate our marketing strategy, messaging and action plan in a fast-paced environment.
Lisa Hannum – President & CEO, Beehive Strategic Communication
Authentic Brand's deep understanding of technology and business was evident in their ability to translate a complex, disruptive innovation story into market-ready content and sales assets.
