Relying on referrals to grow your business long-term is a mistake.

It places your income at the mercy of other people thinking to mention you at the right time to the right person. And if you wait too long to begin actively marketing your work and building your own brand, you will find you no longer define your niche; it is defined for you by the referrals sent your way (whether you’re a good match or not).

Before that happens, it’s time to close the gap between your real-world authority and your marketing.

It’s easy to get caught in a double bind: You know you need to modernize to survive, but much of modern marketing feels both mysterious and… icky. You don’t want a “growth hack” marketer who is going to damage your brand in the name of rapid clicks. How do you speak up without selling out?

Alex Tracy, PhD, brand strategist and fractional CMO

Strategic counsel for the long game

My approach is distinct because my training is distinct. I am not a transactional agency churning out templates; nor am I a tech-bro-SEO-growth-hacker playing the algorithm. I am a strategist for those who value depth and whose work is high-touch and high-trust.

Drawing on 14 years of executive leadership alongside doctoral scholarship, I bridge the gap between deep wisdom and efficient digital execution. I don’t just build websites or ad campaigns; I translate the weight of your expertise and the seriousness of your work into the speed of the modern web.

  • PhD in homiletics, an interdisciplinary field focused on the intersections of rhetoric and organizational culture.

  • 14 years of leadership experience building community and moving people to action through communication.

  • Proven track record of pushing for cutting edge, digital approaches in entrenched, traditional settings.

Strategic solutions for every stage of growth

  • Brand Messaging to uncover your unique voice.

    Before we build, we must define. This is not just a tagline exercise; it is a strategic workshop to uncover your firm's unique value proposition. We define your audience’s tension and codify the language you use to resolve it so that you connect with the high-value clients you need.

    Best For: Firms struggling to articulate their value beyond "excellent service."

  • Websites designed as pathways, not brochures.

    I don’t just build "digital brochures"; I build narrative pathways intended to create curiosity in audiences and then move to conviction. As a Strategic Squarespace Specialist, I build high-performance, conversion-focused sites that respect your client’s cognitive load while ranking for high-value search terms.

    Best For: Experts who need their digital presence to match their real-world reputation.

  • Retainers that keep your brand alive.

    Growth doesn't end at launch. I serve as a Fractional Marketing Officer, developing your strategy & implementing it efficiently. This is an ongoing partnership to build your authority and brand recognition, move people through your sales funnel, and build a loyal client community

    Scope: Content Strategy, SEO, Social Media Management & Marketing, Email, Media Relations.

Point of view and strategy insights

Will we work well together?

My work is designed for the Care-Driven Guardian. We will likely work well together if:

  • You need to translate your knowledge and expertise into a value potential clients understand: You don't just sell a service; you sell you. Your value lies in your intellect, your experience, and your unique approach.

  • You Value Care and Relationship: You believe marketing should be an act of hospitality that builds genuine relationships for the long-term.

  • You Want Resonance, Not Just Reach: You aren't looking for viral hacks and flash-in-the-pan results. You are looking for a brand voice that conveys stability, depth, and trust and a sustainable strategy for growth.
