ABOUT CHARLIE KUNZE

I’m a marketer who likes building things.I’ve had the chance to see how some of the world’s largest brands approach marketing. And the opportunity to build a marketing function myself from the ground up.Earlier in my career at Publicis and BBDO, I worked on launches and campaigns for companies like Citi, CVS and Electronic Arts, learning how strategy, creative and media come together inside large organizations - and the impact doing it right can have on a business.More recently I’ve been able to take those lessons and apply them hands-on. I currently lead marketing for Q30 Innovations, where I helped grow the Q-Collar business from zero into a multi-million-dollar consumer brand around a category-defining product, building the strategy and marketing engine across DTC, retail, athlete partnerships and integrated campaigns.My strength is operating at the intersection of brand and growth. I enjoy shaping positioning and creative as much as digging into the mechanics of how marketing actually drives revenue and scales businesses. I’ve written campaign concepts, run productions with NFL athletes, built testing frameworks for performance marketing, and led internal teams and agency partners while working closely with product, sales and leadership to turn good ideas into programs that scale.I’m drawn to environments where people are trying to build something meaningful and where marketing has the runway to create real commercial impact.Outside of work you can usually find me pouring over sports box scores, doing the NYT crossword, biking through Brooklyn or hunting for my next pair of sneakers.
