About Aaron Amerling
I don’t just manage brands; I architect the narratives that define entire categories.My career has been spent at the intersection of disruptive business architecture and high-level storytelling. Whether it’s serving as the first marketing consultant to GoFundMe during its initial growth stage, leading Marketing & Innovation at Voxox, or creating category-defining mHealth apps at GreatCall (Best Buy Health), my focus is on moving organizations beyond tactical \"order-taking\" toward market dominance.I bring a \"storyteller’s DNA\" to the executive suite—informed by writing for global IP like Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender and consulting on Oscar-winning films. Today, I apply that same narrative rigor to the next frontier of growth: Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and the strategic integration of AI as a primary marketing channel.As a Techstars Mentor, I help AI startups navigate the \"zero-to-one\" phase, including orchestrating flagship customer acquisitions like Tony Robbins for Steno.AI.Core Focus: Category Design | Global Omni-Channel Strategy (Disney, Ubisoft, Dior)| AI-Driven Brand Discovery | Telecom & Mobile Ecosystems.
