Describe How You Would Like To Be Introduced Via Email
Brooks Christol is a marketing consultant and business strategist who helps companies solve complex growth and brand challenges. After 15 years leading a full-service ad agency, he refocused his firm around what they do best: uncovering hidden issues that hold businesses back and crafting practical, tailored strategies to move them forward. His team specializes in brand development and alignment—particularly for organizations that have hit a plateau and feel their brand no longer reflects their potential. When business owners or marketing leaders sense something’s off but can’t quite define it, Brooks helps them pinpoint the problem and chart a clearer path ahead. -
What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
I am mission-minded. I love to see people succeed, especially those who are willing to innovate, disrupt, or simply be the under dogs. -
Qualifying Questions: What are three questions we can ask clients to help pave the way for a referral? List them here.
1. Do you KNOW your marketing is returning on your investment?
2. Does your brand just feel off? Like the customers you're getting just aren't the kind that are advancing the team or the company forward?
3. Do marketing meetings spiral into unactionable brainstorming or devolve into politicking? -
Unique Selling Proposition
Our strength is in strategic clarity—not selling execution. By staying independent from specific services, we’re able to guide clients to the right partners and the right moves, without bias. That’s what builds trust: a single, focused direction, not a menu of preloaded solutions. -
About me
With over 25 years in nearly every corner of the marketing world—PR, advertising, digital, and beyond—I’ve seen how the pieces connect across industries, channels, and audiences. I understand both the business of marketing and the psychology behind why people respond (or don’t). There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, no silver bullet—and that’s exactly why strategy matters.
My superpower is seeing the economics of ideas and the relationships between influences. I help businesses cut through the noise, align their efforts, and focus on what truly drives growth—not just what’s trending. -
