marketing clarity for better decisions.

Most companies don’t have a marketing problem. They have a decision problem.

I come in when everything feels “kind of working” but nothing is actually driving growth and force the positioning and prioritization decisions that fix it.

Less channels. Less noise. More of what actually works.

C (SEE)

Without a clear vision, it's difficult to know your direction.

Strategy combines vision with purpose to create a clear direction.

Y (WHY)

I help founders and companies recognize the value of marketing and evaluate ROI to achieve ambitious business goals that have felt out of reach.

STRATEGIES

I believe marketing can always work smarter and harder.

A dedicated expert with a fresh perspective can make a significant difference.

I'm Cody York.

I reside in Durham, North Carolina, supporting clients throughout the U.S. I have been in marketing for over 16 years, with experience in agencies (serving large and small clients), leading university marketing efforts, and managing events marketing for a large software company. Now, I’m leveraging my enterprise-grade marketing expertise to assist companies at a pivotal growth moment by seizing opportunities and enhancing their marketing effectiveness.

I don’t help companies do more marketing. I help them figure out what’s actually worth doing.

Most are spread too thin, talking to the wrong audience, or trying to say too much at once.

I bring focus to positioning, messaging, and priorities so the right work finally starts working.

Here is what I offer:

Marketing doesn't have to be crazy

It simply has to work.

Crafting a winning marketing strategy doesn't have to feel like leaping off a bridge with just a cord to catch you. When you fuse marketing with the right tech to hit your goals, you won't need a safety harness because I've got your back. Just like the bungee cord provides backup, you will have a reliable (and fearless) expert to protect your marketing efforts when we collaborate.

Take the leap

If you made it this far...

That means you: A. love scrolling B. hate virtual meetings or emailing me directly C. potentially have a fear of commitment or a love for filling out forms (even rarer if it's both!) Either way, if you're still reading, let's connect. I'll be happy to review your needs in detail and prepare a custom meeting just for you, including a tailored sports metaphor, a custom joke related to your comment and will list any state capital of your choosing on command.
