Stuart Briscar

For the past 20 years I’ve worked with 62 CEOs and business owners on marketing strategy. That’s given me a front-row seat on how to think strategically when building organizations.

A lot of my work has been about helping teams handle change and keep moving. I’ve led restructures, trained people on new standards, and run regular 1:1s with managers to find and clear roadblocks. I’ve also worked with marketing and creative teams to tighten how they communicate so projects stay on track.

I’ve trained specialists to step into account strategy, developed team playbooks and standards to build consistency, and set a simple leadership rhythm with weekly manager check-ins and monthly growth sessions to keep priorities clear. I also built a recognition program that made people’s contributions visible and encouraged participation. Across many roles, I’ve acted as the bridge between strategy and execution.

During a merger, I temporarily managed both teams, aligned them on shared processes, and helped stabilize delivery while maintaining performance. 

At my church, I restructured the staff onboarding process that was spread across five people and reduced it to two, which made everything more consistent. I also created the Leadership Development Plan for our church and trained staff through workshops and 1:1s so everyone used the same language and framework to develop volunteers at every level.

My background in performance psychology and my doctoral work in strategic leadership help me connect how people think with how organizations grow.

Head of Marketing

With Digital Growth Teams, businesses can enjoy the benefits of a dedicated in-house marketing team without the cost and commitment of hiring one.

I’m a Senior Director, Marketing and Fractional Chief Marketing Officer with 20 years of experience across tech and CPG.

I partner with tech founders and CEOs to get clear on the who —what — why —where — how framework: who are we selling to, what are we selling, why are we selling it, where are we selling it, and how are we selling it. Seems simple, but surprisingly many startups are moving so fast don’t iterate on their strategy and positioning as they scale.

With extensive experience in tech and startups, I’m an expert in identifying how to win vs. competition and changing the narrative from features and pricing to benefits and value.

Results I’ve Helped Create

Over the years, I’ve led marketing strategies that directly moved the needle — not just in awareness, but in measurable business growth:

☑️ 65% revenue growth over four years at a high-growth tech startup, leading to a #5 spot on the INC 5000 list.
☑️ 30% increase in customer acquisition by aligning marketing and sales through sharper messaging and enablement tools.

Each result came from the same playbook I use today with clients — tightening messaging, connecting marketing to revenue, and enabling teams to execute with clarity.

I have an MBA from the Carlson School of Management, a BA in Marketing Management from the University of St. Thomas, and a handful of certifications in AI, B2B Marketing, Social Media Marketing and Google Analytics.
