Executive Marketing Leadership for Every Stage of Growth.

HAP Collective brings senior marketing leadership into founder-led B2C brands, turning fragmented activity into clear strategy, strong execution, and modern, AI-enabled ways of working.

Better decisions create better businesses.

A calm, editorial workspace
The Challenge

Growth Shouldn't Feel This Complicated.

Most founder-led brands don't lack marketing activity. They lack the strategic clarity to make it compound.

Channel-Heavy, Strategy-Light

Spend accumulates across platforms with no unified strategy to show for it.

Agency Dependency Without Oversight

Vendors work in silos, with no one holding them to a strategy.

Reactive Rather Than Structured

Teams respond to urgency instead of running a repeatable system.

AI Curiosity Without a Roadmap

Leadership senses AI matters but has no practical plan to act on it.

Our Approach

The Five-Stage Growth Framework

A five-stage arc from insight to compounding results, sized to the moment and built around the outcome.

Stage 01

Understand

Diagnose the business, the customer, the market, and the team before recommending anything.

Stage 02

Align

Bring leadership into agreement on the problem worth solving and the outcomes that matter.

Stage 03

Design

Shape a strategy and operating model that fits the business, never a template, never off-the-shelf.

Stage 04

Execute

Move the work into the world, leading the team, the calendar, and the accountability.

Stage 05

Evolve

Read the signal, retire what isn't working, and compound what is, quarter after quarter.

The arc is linear on paper and iterative in practice. Every loop tightens the next.

How We Work Together

Three ways to begin. One natural progression.

Sized to the moment, structured around the outcome, never on retainer for its own sake.

Step 01 · Diagnose

Growth Assessment

Starting at $7,500

A focused look at what's holding growth back, and what to do about it in the next two quarters.

Step 02 · Plan

Marketing Strategy + 90-Day Roadmap

Starting at $10,000

A plan the team can act on Monday: positioning, priorities, and the operating rhythm behind them, with a 90-day roadmap to put it in motion.

Step 03 · Lead

Fractional Marketing Leadership

Starting at $4,000/mo

A leadership seat without the full-time hire, a CMO's judgment sitting on your team, week after week.

Also Available

Project Based

Scoped to the work

Go-to-Market, Marketing Operating Model, Execution Leadership, Ongoing Advisory, and Campaign Execution, scoped as the engagement calls for it.

Great marketing isn't built on better campaigns. It's built on better decisions, stronger leadership, and organizations that know how to adapt.

Amy Trujillo, Founder of HAP Collective
Why HAP Collective

Most founder-led brands don't have a marketing problem. They have a structure problem.

I spent over 20 years inside some of the largest consumer brands in the world, leading marketing across the Florida region for Comcast, then directing all of the Caribbean for Liberty. I managed $75M budgets, built teams of 50+, and launched across 21 markets. I was not advising from the outside. I was an operator, accountable for outcomes.

Throughout those two decades, I kept seeing the same gap: founder-led brands with real momentum and no one in their corner with the strategic depth to match it. HAP Collective is that answer. Intentional. Grounded. Built for the long term.

Executive experience

CMO- and VP-level judgment that has carried a P&L and answered to a board.

Strategy through execution

The hand that draws the plan is the one you'd trust to walk it into the field.

Modern marketing capability

Fluent across brand, performance, product marketing, RevOps, content, and analytics.

AI-enabled ways of working

A real operating rhythm that compresses cycle time and expands a small team.

Insights

Perspectives on leadership, growth, and modern marketing.

Brand

Why Most Rebrands Fail

Most rebrands fail not because the design is wrong, but because the business underneath it never changed. A new logo cannot fix a positioning problem.

Growth

Growth Changes. Marketing Must Evolve.

The marketing function that carried a brand to $5M is rarely the one that carries it to $50M. Complexity compounds faster than the org can absorb.

AI

AI Doesn't Replace Leadership. It Raises the Standard.

AI lets a smaller team behave like a larger one, but only where the judgment already exists. It raises the bar for marketing leadership rather than lowering it.

Let's Talk

Ready to bring structure to your growth?

A focused conversation about your current stage, challenges, and opportunities. All engagements begin here.

An introductory call runs about forty-five minutes. No slides, no pitch, a working conversation about where you are, where you're going, and what marketing needs to do to get you there.

Every business reaches a point where marketing needs stronger leadership.
