Mike Grinberg's Linkedin Analytics

I am a creative problem solver at heart, who happened to fall into marketing. My original plan was to be a graphic designer and creative director. However, after several internships, including one that exposed me to digital marketing back in 2005, I was hooked and never looked back. At this point I have "been there, done that" with pretty much every marketing discipline and tactic under the sun. However, my strengths lie in tying marketing strategy to business strategy, customer research, and content strategy and distribution. I am a combat sports enthusiast and have competed as an amateur. That experience has taught me to roll with the punches and operate well under pressure. So in the midst of a family crisis, I started a marketing agency. In August 2015, my daughter was born at only 24 weeks gestation. Through a combination of scientific advancements and miracles, she survived and thrived. Her journey was long, and after our journey with her, I definitely felt like I had been in a grueling 12-round fight. After switching jobs, seeing a startup lose funding and dealing with a variety of pediatric health issues, my wife and I started our agency Proofpoint Marketing, in June of 2017, with the intention of doing great work while providing ourselves, and anyone that would later work for us, a family-first work environment. Since then, we have helped a number of consulting and advisory firm clients break through growth plateaus by helping them create organizational alignment and build a relationship-led growth system. If you want to talk B2B marketing, combat sports, or football (the real kind - the kind that's actually played with feet and a round ball), let's connect!
