Michael Darragh

I partner with ambitious businesses to unlock growth, align teams, and modernize marketing. Whether it's building a performance engine from scratch, unifying brand and acquisition strategy, or leading a strategic audit to set a new direction, I bring clarity, momentum, and measurable impact.

What sets me apart is my vision for what’s next — and the ability to translate that into practical, high-leverage action. I believe we’re entering a new era of marketing: one where AI augments strategic thinking, where brand and performance are no longer siloed, and where speed and focus matter more than complexity.

I've led marketing strategy and execution for global brands, scale-ups, and VC-backed startups — including roles as Head of Marketing, Head of Digital Experience, and agency-side leadership across major networks (Ogilvy, McCann). I’ve launched products in new markets, grown acquisition pipelines by 250%, unified fragmented teams under a single GTM strategy, and repositioned mature brands for their next phase of growth.

Today, I specialize in fractional leadership and project-based consulting — ideal for companies that want CMO-level thinking without hiring full-time. I work directly with founders, CMOs, and cross-functional leaders to define strategy, elevate marketing performance, and implement the systems and storytelling that drive sustainable growth.
