About Brian Godfrey

I’m a brand builder who believes the most effective marketers are those who speak the languages of both the consumer and the P&L.I began my career in marketing and analytics roles, developing a deep understanding of product, consumer behavior, and retail execution. I later made a deliberate pivot into FP & A where I managed multi-billion-dollar forecasts, identified millions in savings opportunities, and partnered directly with the finance leadership team, gaining a rigorous operating lens that now informs every marketing decision I make.I returned to marketing in brand management at Scotts Miracle-Gro with a differentiated skill set that blends strategic storytelling, financial discipline, and operational leadership. Since then, I’ve led portfolio modernizations, managed go-to-market strategies and delivered record-breaking innovation launches across iconic brands including Miracle-Gro, Scotts and Roundup.While my professional journey across marketing and finance allows me to bring a unique perspective to the table, it also gives me an appreciation for meeting new people and learning about their own unique experiences. Everyone has their own story to tell, and I want to hear yours. So, let’s connect!
