More than just another pretty website.

I use strategic messaging and data-driven marketing to transform Squarespace into the strategic hub that grows your business.

My work

You don’t just need a website. You need a complete strategy to make the most of it.

Websites are often beautiful, but that doesn’t mean they’re necessarily built with the long-term marketing funnel in mind. They may be internally well-structured and aim for conversions, but they are just digital islands, disconnected from large swathes of the real work.

I think like a marketing strategist first, then I build websites to fit within a sales funnel system.

A real sales engine isn't just a pretty site. It's a hub, built from the ground up to be connected to the paths that bring you leads. It’s the single most important piece of your sales funnel. Based in my experience with long-term digital-first marketing retainers across SEO, PPC advertising, social media, and media relations, my process is built to deliver you a website that looks good and works cooperatively with all the elements of your funnel: Right out of the box.

Alex Tracy, PhD, brand strategist and fractional CMO

I’m a strategist proven in the trenches.

My approach is different because my path was different. It’s built on a unique combination of academic rigor (a PhD in communication and organizational culture) and 14 years of real-world, in-the-trenches leadership.

I didn't just study the theory of a great story; I spent over a decade on the ground, building digital strategies and pulling traditional organizations into the 21st century. This unique perspective means I understand both the theory of a great message and the practical, real-world challenges of building a digital funnel that makes it convert.

In other words, I have the strategic view from 30,000 feet and the skills to implement it.
