Brett Schklar
I believe that a strong brand is the soul of a business.
I believe that marketing is for growth and branding is for scale.
I am a proven Growth Strategist who uses a powerful combination of brand building, lead generation, marketing execution and overall smart thinking to help emerging companies find their paths to growth and uncover demand for innovative technologies and approaches.
Over the past 12 years, I have been building brands for 230 Companies, working closely with Chief Executive Officers in mostly SaaS companies, B2B companies, some energy services and some in the Consumer ( B2C) space.
Client mix includes:
65% B2B SaaS Companies
5% B2C SaaS Companies
10% Telecom Companies
10% Media Companies
10% Energy Services Companies
This work through my invention, Market Creation Group, yields results that include:
- 23 Client companies with successful exits (Acquired or IPO)
- 25 different awards, including Fastest Growing Private Company in Denver (both 2009 & 2010) by the Denver Business Journal; Brand Strategy of the year by Business Marketing Association; Personal recipient of the Denver Business Journal 40 under Forty award and other awards for growth strategies, brand strategy, and marketing campaigns
-A wealth of knowledge by partnering with 230 companies and seeing from the inside and outside what works and what doesn't work
I have also enjoyed sharing these strategies and ideas with innovative CEO's & CMO's through speaking engagements, podcasts, and blogging.
Prior to owning a Brand and growth Firm that grew to 18 employees, I ran marketing and branding initiatives for software and SaaS companies that yielded successful exit events three different times.
I speak to audiences of primarily CEO's on how to leverage a strong brand story, an intuitive strategic approach and an innovative marketing program to uncover growth paths.
