Brad Schlachter

Founder & CMO

I’m a full-funnel growth marketer and fractional CMO who specializes in scaling customer acquisition, increasing conversion, and reducing churn.

My expertise lies in connecting the dots between acquisition, analytics, and retention, transforming insights into high-performing strategies that scale businesses. I combine data-driven performance marketing with compelling brand storytelling to build full-funnel systems that deliver measurable, repeatable results.

​

• At Slate Digital, I drove 104% YoY user growth and reduced churn by 40% through full-funnel optimization.

• At MotorTrend+, I scaled paying subscribers, which resulted in a successful exit to Discovery Communications.

• At Simpler Media Group, I led growth initiatives that yielded 75% YoY revenue growth and an Inc. 5000 award.

​

I’ve worked for global brands like Disney, Microsoft, Hallmark, Sega, Intel, and Qualcomm, as well as high-growth SaaS, streaming, and AI startups.

• Growth & Revenue Acceleration – Scaling acquisition and conversion while improving retention and LTV.

• Performance Marketing & Demand Gen – Driving full-funnel growth via paid media, SEO, content, and lifecycle marketing.
