From Founder Hustle to Marketing Machine: Scale Smarter Without Burning Out
You’ve proven your business model. You’re growing. But with every new customer and marketing channel, your to-do list grows faster than your clarity.
Feeling stretched thin as you grow? In this transformational workshop, Mary Moses, Fractional CMO and brand strategist, will show you how to evolve from founder-led hustle to a scalable, repeatable marketing machine without burning out or losing your creative edge.
Some of the things we’ll cover:
How to identify and double down on what’s already working
How to prioritize the right channels for your stage
The core systems that unlock sustainable, compounding growth
Why "more content" is not a strategy and what to do instead
What a CMO sees in 5 minutes that most founders miss.
Mary will break down live marketing challenges from the room, offering her CMO-level lens on what to cut, fix, or scale. These are mini masterclasses in real time.
You’ll walk away not just inspired, but clear, confident, and equipped to take back your time and power as a founder.
Ready to stop doing all the things and start scaling what works?
Join us and learn how to market like a CMO—without hiring one full-time.
Speaker Bio:
Mary Moses is a Fractional CMO, brand strategist, and creative leader who helps growth-stage founders build businesses that are both commercially powerful and culturally meaningful.
With a career that bridges fashion buying at Macy’s and leading Marketing & Creative for Tender Greens, Mary brings a rare mix of rigorous strategy and elevated taste. She partners with founders who are already successful but stretched thin, helping them replace chaotic, reactive marketing with clear systems that drive predictable growth.
Rather than “doing marketing,” she architects it—aligning brand, customer experience, and revenue so founders can stop playing CMO and get back to leading.
She also hosts the Tradition Breakers podcast, where she interviews Asian American leaders and creators who build boldly and break expectations.
Based in Venice, CA, Mary’s work is informed by culture, community, and the messy, beautiful reality of being a mother, founder, and creative strategist at once.
