Partners & Agency Network

Already Vetted.

One of the most expensive mistakes a growing brand makes is hiring the wrong agency, or hiring the right one with no one in the room to manage them.

The Network

These aren't referrals.
They're relationships.

Over 25 years, I've built a working network of agencies, freelancers, and functional experts across every major marketing discipline. Built on real work, vetted by outcomes, and matched carefully to client needs.

When I work with a brand, this network is part of what you get. I find the right partners for your specific situation, negotiate the engagement structure, and hold them accountable to the outcomes we forecast together.

You don't have to figure out who to trust. That's already done.

What You Get

  • Partners matched to your stage, category, and goals
  • The engagement negotiated and structured on your behalf
  • Accountability to the outcomes we forecast, with me in the room

Why It's Different

  • 25+ years building the bench, not a borrowed Rolodex
  • Vetted by results across beauty, wellness, and lifestyle
  • One point of accountability for the whole network. Me.
