Are you an entrepreneur at a career crossroads, an IT professional ready to transition from employee to founder? Or perhaps you lead a small business or corporation grappling with outdated tech, where executives struggle to become the face of the brand?
You're not alone. Many organizations face what I call the "elephant in the room"—obvious problems that have persisted so long, they're mistaken for normal. As Charles K. Davis, The Marketing Maverick, I specialize in identifying these hidden challenges and crafting strategies that transform your brand into a weaponized asset.
My journey is not one of smooth sailing. I’ve navigated the turbulent waters of economic crashes and unforeseen global events, constantly adapting and rebuilding. This resilience, forged in the fires of real-world crises, allows me to guide you not just through today's challenges but to prepare you for whatever tomorrow brings.
As a Certified Brand Strategist, mentored by brand masters like Art Starr and Marty Neumeier (Director of CEO Branding at Liquid Agency),
I've absorbed the frameworks that shaped giants like Adobe, Apple, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, and Symantec.
But my expertise goes beyond theory. My career spans decades, rooted in Information Technology, with UNIX certification as an engineer. This isn't just a detail—it's the foundation of my unique approach.
UNIX is the backbone of the internet, smartphones, Wi-Fi, and IoT. My IT background allows me to see the entire ecosystem of your brand's digital presence.
I'm not just a strategist; I'm a Digital Marketing Engineer—a rare breed with the integrity and expertise to provide unbiased, business-first technology recommendations.
Businesses often struggle with getting reliable, objective software recommendations. Unlike many, my perspective is rooted in the IT field, ensuring you get solutions that genuinely benefit your business, not just software vendors.
I've applied this unique blend of brand strategy and engineering acumen to major brands:
Consider the case of Navistar, formerly International Harvester.
When they had to rebrand, I witnessed firsthand how they inventoried and weaponized their assets.
With 800 truck dealerships nationwide—an unparalleled network in their industry—we leveraged technology to transform those dealerships into a coordinated army, empowering them with "Walmart-like" purchasing power. This wasn't just a rebrand; it was a consolidation of brand value that made them unbeatable.
My core belief is simple: Clients reward originals, not copies.
I help you become a "Brand of One"—the only one of its kind.
Your brand will be perceived as a premium, even luxury, entity, with its value cemented in your digital real estate.
My experience in creating the lowest cost of ownership and consolidating brand value into a weaponized asset means your business can not only survive but thrive through any economic climate.
I coach executives on how to create and leverage their personal brand to benefit the business.
My Myers-Briggs INTJ provides me a reverse-engineering mentality, allowing me to trace problems back to their upstream origins—the "domino effect" of brand performance.
As The Marketing Maverick, I can help you:
My personal brand archetype combination of Creative, Adventurer, and Sage fuels my innovative spirit, always supported by logic. My external tone is one of innovation supported by sage wisdom.
You've seen the credentials, understood the "engineer" approach, and perhaps even resonated with the journey. But why, among all the consultants out there, should The Marketing Maverick be your guide?
It comes down to three critical differentiators:
My personal brand archetype combination of Creative, Adventurer, and Sage fuels my innovative spirit, always supported by logic. My external tone is one of innovation supported by sage wisdom.
If you're an IT professional ready to step into founder status, a small business battling a reputation crisis, or an organization needing to weaponize its executives as brand faces, you need a guide who thinks differently. You need a Digital Marketing Engineer who's walked the talk, survived the storms, and is uniquely equipped to build a brand that towers over the market.
