Helping B2B Startups Get More Leads With Content & SEO | Founder at DuoQ

Most successful international brands stumble entering the U.S. - not because their product isn't ready, but because the operational maze eats them alive.

At CrossBridge, we don't just fix that. We architect your entire U.S. entry strategy and then execute it. Whether you're going DTC, retail, or hybrid, we handle the full operational stack - from negotiating prime 3PL locations near your customers to processing orders 7 hours ahead of U.S. teams (hello, same-day shipping). One integrated system. One point of contact. Zero operational headaches.

- For retail brands: We make you fully compliant - EDI, ERP, returns - and connect you with the right retail consultants to expand your footprint.

- For DTC brands: We own the ops so you can focus on what matters - marketing, product development, and customer experience.

Our core: accounting, order processing, supply chain strategy, and 3PL management - all tightly integrated and running at a fraction of the cost of building an in-house U.S. team.

I lead marketing and growth for Crossbridge, helping operators who've already proven success outside the U.S. understand how we can accelerate their American expansion.

If you're crushing it internationally but need a strategic partner to dominate the U.S. market - let's talk.

Unleaded Communications | Houston's B2B Marketing Agency

I joined Unleaded Communications to experience the agency world from the INSIDE. I recruited and hired over 30% of the company between 2011 - 2013. 

Things I learned:

● There is no such thing as downtime 
● A position can be needed in the morning and by the end of the day, it's scrapped and redefined
● Creative people in the agency world are under insane amounts of pressure to be creative FAST
● The talent bar is VERY high - companies expect and want commercial-level results
● If you show up before 9A, the doors are locked
● Every day is unpredictable - I've coined the term "Triage Marketing" to describe it

Unleaded is "the" Business to Business (B2B) Marketing Agency in Houston, TX. Their B2B Marketing strategies have helped Oil & Gas and Energy companies such as GDF Suez, Aggreko, Stallion Oilfield Services, Halliburton, BP, R360, Valerus and many others in the B2B space.
Agency of the Year 2011 and 2012 (BMA Houston Lantern Awards).

Division Director (Recruiter for Marketing Professionals) - B2B Marketing and B2C Marketing

I’m a Marketer-turned-Recruiter. I work with companies & marketing agencies as a recruiting partner to help fill marketing roles in 3 to 5 candidates presented. Recruitment all States in the US.

𝑯𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐!  𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐝𝐨: I help companies and marketing agencies (National) fill their open marketing/digital marketing positions. I recruit nationally and locally. I have an 19 year career track as a professional recruiter and 15 years as a corporate marketer. People are my passion; marketing is my obsession. 

𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗘𝗦/𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗞𝗘𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗖𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
I am a consultative recruiter with over a decade of marketing experience. I present people, not resumes. I screen for technical marketing skills, experience, soft skills, emotional EQ, personality and culture fit. My goal is to remove as much of the noise, coordination and activities of recruiting as possible from your desk over to mine. My submission-to-offer ratio averages 4 candidates. For you, this means less resumes to review, fewer candidates to interview, and faster placement time.

  ✍🏻  𝗜'𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘁.

I promote, advertise and aggressively source to find the professional who has what your marketing department needs. I consult on competitive salary ranges, so you don’t miss out on in-demand marketing talent. 

Once we have our kickoff call, I get to work. You’re updated weekly on the status of the search and made aware of any roadblocks or issues that could delay our success. If needed, we recalibrate and keep moving.

I am committed to keeping you updated as you move through the interview stages. I look for highly skilled marketers/digital marketers from mid to executive level and specialists in digital marketing. If you’ve built a solid marketing career and thinking about switching companies… or you’re currently ‘in between successes,’ reach out to me. info@raeganhill.net
