Strategic Marketing Leader | Brand Builder | Growth Driver

Hello, I am Mike Crowell. I am not a big write a white paper or post everyday on LinkedIn guy so I created this site to tell my story.

Simply put, I am a pretty strategic, creative, and results-driven marketer. (I try to have a sense of humility. I know a bit strange these days.) I was part of and led amazing teams for over 20+ years across iconic brands such as Nike, Oakley, Adidas, Microsoft, Fender, and Under Armour. A few years back, I decided to ensure I didn’t turn into a big corporate, cruise ship mentality dinosaur and shifted to DTC based challenger brands. Learning how brands connect in today’s landscape and the data/analytics performance marketing game.
