About Patrick Kritchever

I’m a CMO, strategic advisor, and founder with roots in NYC and Madrid. For nearly two decades I’ve helped companies grow through clear strategy, smart execution, and a mindset built around doing more with less. I arrived in New York with ambition, limited resources, and a drive to figure things out. That experience shaped how I lead today: practical, creative, and focused on the moves that actually drive growth.My work spans early-stage startups, established brands, and leadership teams that want clarity and momentum. As a CMO and Strategic Advisor, I partner directly with CEOs and senior teams to align growth strategy, go to market plans, and brand positioning with real business goals. My years building and running our Madrid office taught me how to navigate complexity, think globally, and operate with calm focus even when the stakes are high.At Stranded, the agency I founded in 2013, I lead strategy and growth across a wide mix of industries including Aesthetics, Private Equity and Venture Capital, DTC/CPG and Enterprise. I manage a cross-functional team that includes account leads, operations, social media strategists, PPC and SEO specialists, copywriters, designers, and content creators. We move quickly, stay resourceful, and combine strategy with creative discipline to produce work that is both effective and adaptable. Whether it’s refining messaging, architecting full funnel campaigns, or improving operational systems, my goal is simple: help organizations grow with clarity and confidence.I built Stranded around a belief that great marketing comes from equal parts creativity, strategy, and resourcefulness. That belief still guides everything we do. We partner closely with our clients, focus on what matters most, and produce work designed to create lasting impact, not just short-term wins.
