Over the last 20 years, I achieved a doctorate in communications and used my digital marketing expertise to help grow two SaaS startups to $50M+ ARR, one of which was acquired for almost $1B.

While it would be nice to say I burned out, the truth is that I just wanted to use my skills to help other startups grow and thrive. 

So I left my high-powered executive job, and went out on my own.

Since that time, I’ve developed two marketing companies:

  • Lynn Langmade Advisory (LLA)—An advisory that provides fractional CMO services for companies who need marketing leadership to grow, but not full-time  

  • Verge Marketing Agency—An inbound marketing agency dedicated to helping SaaS startups grow and increase brand awareness. We make marketing look and feel easy for our clients.


Portfolio:  

→ Built a six-figure marketing agency on my own

→ Landed  three world-class brands as clients—Apple, Johnson & Johnson, and Amazon 

→ Advised early-stage startups in the contech, healthtech, insurtech and martech verticals

→ Helped two clients grow to millions in ARR ($16M and $4M)

→ Enabled three clients to achieve $168M in funding

→ Taught digital and growth marketing to business executives 


Achievements:

→ Doctorate in English and rhetoric (art of communication)

→ Built inbound marketing engine from the ground up at 4 successful startups, including one acquired for almost 1B

→ 12K social media followers

→ Hundreds of articles published in selective marketing publications (under my byline and ghost-written) 

→ Featured speaker at marketing and academic conferences around the globe

→ Multiple academic and professional awards

If your company can’t find a path to revenue generation, your growth has plateaued, or you can't scale your organization to keep pace with growth, I can help by serving as an advisor or fractional CMO to your company.

If you need a team to help you execute, not just advise, my marketing agency, Verge, can create and execute campaigns that will deliver predictable revenue and real growth.
