Rufat D. — CEO

Most companies don't have a marketing problem. They have a clarity problem. They know what they sell. They just can't explain why anyone should care. That's where I come in. I'm a marketing leader with 10+ years in brand strategy, paid media, and creative direction across Europe and the US. I currently serve as fractional CMO to 200+ global brands through Eagle Activator Media, managing $250K+ in monthly ad spend and leading a 10 person creative team. My background is in copywriting. I still write. But over the years I've built the systems around it: paid campaigns that consistently return 4 to 7x ROAS, lifecycle email flows that improve retention by 30%, LinkedIn ghostwriting programs that grow founder audiences by 50%+ in 90 days, and video content that gives brands a human face. I've built marketing functions from zero. Scaled them across borders. Hired and led teams of 15+. And tied every initiative back to revenue, not vanity metrics. Before running my own agency, I led marketing at a fintech startup (Shuttle99), headed brand partnerships at a consumer goods company (Aurum), and managed six figure ad budgets across 10+ international markets at an adtech firm (Mobinner). MBA from Tallinn University of Technology. Six languages. Based in Estonia, EU citizen. If you need someone who can write, strategize, and execute with business growth always in mind, let's talk.
