About Louis Gudema

I work as a fractional CMO for B2B startups and SMBs. I am a rare combination of strategic leadership and multi-channel day-to-day execution. I’ve worked with over 100 companies, from the Fortune 5 to MIT startups, helping them grow their brands and generate more qualified leads.

Examples of results:

  • Founded and led my SaaS company, growing it into one of the top 3 companies in its highly-competitive national market.
  • Created first marketing strategy and program for seed stage startup, generating dozens of qualified leads each month after six months
  • Helped bootlegged startup more than double its customer base in 12 months with the addition of 17 new customers including Microsoft, Penn State, and Cloudera. Averaged a new lead a day.
  • Led full-day B2B marketing workshop for the C suite of Fortune 500 company, and over a dozen marketing boot camps for the MIT startup community.
  • Helped these and other clients evaluate their marketing tech stacks, including CRMs and marketing automation programs (MAPs), and make significant upgrades.

I created the Bullseye Marketing framework and wrote the book about it, which was named Marketing Book of the Year. In between my marketing work, I’ve closed over $30 million in B2B sales.
