01 Independent demand generation

Build a demand engine that knows where to grow.

I help lean marketing teams find, reach, and convert the right markets through demand generation, HubSpot operations, and agentic AI systems.

02 Ideal fit

The strongest partnerships start when the ambition is clear but the system needs support.

01 / Capacity

Lean team. Ambitious target.

You need senior strategy and hands-on execution without building a full internal department.

02 / Clarity

Complex funnel. Unclear view.

The channels are active, but attribution, conversion, and the path to pipeline are still unclear.

03 / Momentum

Strategy needs an operator.

You are ready for someone who can set direction, build the system, and keep improving it.

03 Growth systems

One operator. Seven connected growth systems.

Strategy, acquisition, operations, and optimization work as one system—not disconnected agency deliverables.

06 Operator profile / Brad Hess

Creative instinct. Technical depth. One accountable operator.

Brad Hess, B2B demand generation consultant
Philadelphia / remote Growth consultant & GTM engineer
“I excel where the creative meets the technical. I don’t just sketch out high-level strategies—I build the systems that run them.”

I operate as a solo growth consultant and GTM engineer. My career started in copywriting—learning how to tell stories and write copy that converts—before evolving into growth marketing and technical ops. Today, I run an AI-augmented practice, using agentic AI workflows to execute at the scale of a multi-person agency for businesses with lean marketing teams.

Over the past decade-plus, I've worked across the full marketing spectrum: managing enterprise B2B strategies at companies like Sprinklr, Curalate, and Ceros; leading growth for SMB B2B audiences at Industrious coworking; and spending six years scaling B2C engines with B2B/B2G elements at Fullstack Academy.

In 2025, I went out on my own and haven't looked back. Today, I partner directly with founders and marketing teams of all sizes to design digital strategy, build HubSpot RevOps pipelines, run paid advertising campaigns, and develop custom websites. No bloated agency handoffs—just expert strategy and execution.
