π Hi, I’m Andrew Kauffman
Most growing companies don’t need another vendor or a full-time CMO. They need a senior marketing partner who can set the strategy, build the engine, and share accountability for the results.
With 15+ years leading digital-led growth, I work alongside your team as a true marketing partner β turning scattered tactics and wasted spend into a focused system that generates pipeline.

The Problem
πΈA senior marketing hire runs $150K+ a year β and there probably isn’t full-time work for one yet. So the role sits empty while competitors pull ahead.
π’Agency retainers get you a junior account team and a monthly PDF. The strategy is templated, and the person who pitched you is never the person doing the work.
π§©A patchwork of freelancers can run ads or write posts β but nobody connects it to revenue. Ten tactics, zero engine.
β°So marketing falls to whoever has a spare hour. Usually that’s you β at 9pm, between everything else the business needs.
How It Works
I embed with your team β part strategist, part operator, invested in your growth like it’s my own. One accountable partner instead of a patchwork. Every engagement is built on three pillars.
01
No 60-page decks that gather dust. I audit what you have, define where the growth is, and build a prioritized roadmap tied directly to revenue β then stay accountable for executing it.
02
Paid media, SEO and AI search, content, and analytics working as one system. Clean data flows from your CRM to your channels, so every dollar is optimized toward pipeline β not vanity metrics.
03
Have in-house marketers, an agency, or a freelancer or two? I work alongside them so the work actually ships. No marketing team yet? I’ll be it. Either way, you get senior direction when you need it and clear reporting on what’s working.
Services
Strategy is only as good as its execution. I cover the full digital stack β as the hands doing the work, or a partner guiding yours.
Marketing audits, go-to-market planning, budget allocation, and a prioritized roadmap tied to revenue. The plan that makes every other channel work harder.
Technical SEO, on-page optimization, and content strategy that builds visibility where your buyers search β including the AI engines increasingly answering for Google.
Paid search and paid social campaigns engineered for pipeline, not vanity metrics. Clean tracking, sharp targeting, and creative that converts.
Fast, mobile-friendly websites built to convert β and continuous optimization of the ones you have, from landing pages to full rebuilds.
Engagements
Three common starting points β not rigid packages. Every engagement is shaped around your team, your channels, and your goals, and most grow from there.
Fixed scope Β· defined timeline
A focused project with clear deliverables and a clear timeline β the most common way clients start. Recent sprints: an SEO audit with on-page optimization and a launch strategy for a new offering.

Transparent Pricing
Consulting pricing is usually a black box. Mine isn’t β the number is right here, so you can decide if it fits your budget before we ever talk.
Retainers start at $750/month and scale with scope β the number of channels, the pace you want to move, and the depth of hands-on execution.

Larger fixed-scope projects (audits, analytics rebuilds, channel launches) are quoted separately.
About
I’m an award-winning senior marketer with 15+ years driving digital-led growth β before everything was “AI-powered.” I’ve led marketing from the inside and from the agency side, which means I know what great looks like and what it takes to get there.
Today I partner with founders, agencies, and in-house teams across performance media, search, and strategy. My best client relationships have run for years β the engagement flexes as your business grows, and I’m still there when the next challenge shows up.
