Hi, I'm Andrea Palten,

your marketing consultant

I've always loved building things. Brands, marketing systems, strategies that actually bring in clients. If it involves figuring out how to connect the right message to the right people, I'm in.

Welcome to CMO Growth Guide, built by a marketer who’s been in the trenches as both an entrepreneur and a hired marketer

For over 25 years, I've been building brands, leading teams, and creating systems that get results. I've worked with startups and Fortune 500s, leading marketing across tech, SaaS, services, finance, and more.

I’ve served as CMO, VP of Marketing, and lead for organizations like Techstars, Ogilvy, Talking Talent, Good Sam / Camping World, American Humane, and Transamerica.

But here's what really shaped how I consult on your business and how I teach: I've seen how big brands scale, and I've watched small business owners struggle to do the same without massive budgets or dedicated teams. It always felt unfair to me that the strategies that work were locked away behind expensive agencies and enterprise marketing departments.

So I built CMO Growth Guide to change that.

I'm here to help online business owners master the essential marketing systems that actually move the needle, without needing a full-time marketing department or a six-figure ad budget.

 

A little more about me:

I live in Colorado with my husband and our dog Bugsy. When I'm not helping business owners fix their marketing, you'll probably find me mountain biking on my e-bike or hanging out by our pond. 

I also have zero patience for "bro marketing." You know the kind. Pushy tactics, fake urgency, manipulative sales pages.

That's not how I operate, and it's not what I teach.

My approach is grounded in what actually works: clear messaging, smart systems, and marketing that feels good to you AND your audience.

 

How CMO Growth Guide can help you:

  • 1:1 Consulting for when you need personalized strategy and someone in your corner to help you get unstuck and moving forward.
  • Impact Membership for small group consulting and coaching where you get direct access to me and a community of business owners working on the same things you are.

  • Audits that give you expert eyes on what's not working, plus clear, actionable steps to fix it fast.

  • Courses on the two things I see business owners struggle with most: building a homepage that actually converts, and getting your brand visible in AI tools like ChatGPT.

If you’re a founder, solopreneur, or early-stage business owner ready to simplify your marketing and finally make it work, you’re in the right place.

Let’s make marketing simple, scalable, and sustainable for you.

I was asked to speak at the Olympic Center in Colorado Springs to some amazing Olympians and train them on their social media and marketing strategies!
