Roberta Antoine Dressen, President & CEO, Medical Alley
“When I started as CEO at Medical Alley, I knew marketing leadership was critical to helping us achieve our vision. Craig and his team proved me right. He served as our fractional marketing lead for more than a year, turned the brand around, took over the sales team and gave us the clarity we needed to establish a longer-term strategy for marketing and sales.”
Amanda Liu, former Chief Marketing Officer, University of St. Thomas
“Craig’s leadership throughout our media agency search was critical to St. Thomas’ quest to find a strategic partner that could help drive enrollment for the university. He developed a clear process for our team to follow, facilitated objective conversations throughout and we ended up partnering with an agency we probably would not have found without him.”
Dale Nitschke, Founder & CEO, Ovative Group
“Craig’s marketing leadership was a great compliment to Ovative’s organic growth. During his time here, he established the foundation we needed for marketing our company in that moment and for the future. How our brand shows up today is in large part due to the work he did and the Creative Lab is now one of our biggest differentiators in the market.”
Kristine Botelho, Chief Operating Officer, St. Croix National
“Referred to me by Brandall Design Co., Craig stepped in to provide the guidance and organization we needed to not only reimagine our marketing, but how to think more strategically about ways to enhance the St. Croix National brand experience. With that came a plan and the partners we needed to execute across a variety of channels.”
Karl Ulfers, Co-Founder & CEO, DUOS
“Originally, I thought we needed a full-time Growth Marketer. Once I was introduced to Craig and the Brave Collective, I had a new perspective on how DUOS should be investing in marketing as an early-stage startup. Brave Co.’s contributions to our brand and business have had lasting effects on our continued success.”
Kurt Schmidt, Partner & CEO, Foundry
“At Foundry, we knew marketing was an important piece of our growth trajectory, but we did not have the internal expertise or experience to articulate what that meant. When we partnered with Brave Co., they quickly assessed the situation, created a vision for where we needed to be and helped our team prioritize what we should focus on now, next and in the future.”
Chris Gauron, Founder, Partner and Chief Executive Officer, Voro
“Craig and his collective were essential to building our creative services discipline from the ground up. His experience in creative strategy with agencies was the perfect addition of skills we needed to get it over the finish line. He is collaborative, buttoned-up, and shares our interest in building meaningful products.”
Ben Marks, Founder & Chief Investment Officer, Marks Group
“We hired Brave Co. to guide us through our brand evolution and they delivered. They immediately added value and provided clarity in what we should be doing and why we should be doing it. We found their planning workshops to be particularly helpful, as they were able to break down complex topics into manageable pieces and move things forward.”
