About David Stein

I’m a performance and integrated marketing executive with 20+ years of experience leading large, cross-channel organizations and driving measurable revenue growth.I’ve built and scaled multi-disciplinary teams of 70+ across SEO, content, lifecycle, analytics, paid media, and marketing operations-owning P&L responsibility, improving margins, and creating the operational clarity that allows expert teams to perform at their best.My career has been defined by building: teams, service lines, leadership structures, and cultures that scale. I’ve grown practices from early-stage to $6M+ in annual revenue, delivered $1.5M+ in vendor savings, and consistently improved CAC, LTV, ROAS, and full-funnel efficiency.What differentiates me is leadership. I’m not the tactical SME-I hire, develop, and lead experts. My focus is on clarity, accountability, and building systems that make other people’s jobs easier so the business can grow sustainably.I partner closely with executive leadership and cross-functional teams to ensure marketing is aligned to revenue, growth, and long-term business health-not just activity or output.Specialties include: corporate leadership, management, marketing strategy, earned, owned, and paid media (content marketing, SEO, social media, email), analytics, audience segmentation, user experience (UX), new business, and marketing operations - PMO, partner management, resource management.
