About

DisruptedCMO is the personal publication and one-person consulting shop of Kevin Briody, focused on exploring how marketing leaders and organizations weather and thrive in times of disruption. A bit more about that.

About Me

As a 3x CMO (in K-12, SaaS and Executive Education) and former agency-side Chief Strategy Officer, I have 25+ years of experience spanning B2B, B2C, and B2G and in organizations ranging from startups to agencies, non-profits, mid-market enterprises, and big tech. I have stood up from scratch or substantially transformed marketing capabilities and teams such as analytics, product marketing, growth, and content, and like most others in the field, have more recently focused on integrating AI/agentic solutions to drive scale and ROI.

In my "spare" time I am also a part-time doctoral student pursuing my Doctor of Education (EdD) in Organizational Leadership & Leadership at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where my research focus is the same as this site's content - centered on marketing disruption and how leaders and organizations navigate it. As that research progresses, I'll be incorporating what I learn into my content here.

Let's connect! You can find me on BlueSky or LinkedIn.

How I Can Help Your Marketing Team

I'd be happy to with marketing projects, consulting, or fractional work, including:

  • Fractional CMO/VP contract work, to bridge a staff transition, standup a team, assist in selected project work, or anything in between
  • Marketing organizational strategy, design, team/function creation
  • Marketing change management
  • Got-To-Market planning, process, and campaign development
  • Content marketing and content strategy
  • Product and solutions marketing and messaging
  • Agency-side pitch and strategy support
  • Managing, coaching and mentoring marketing staff at all levels

I also have a truly wonderful network of amazing freelancers and small agencies I've worked with over the years that I’d be happy to partner with or recommend for your projects. If can help in any way, I would love to hear from you.

AI Transparency Statement

AI is selectively used in the preparation and development of content for this site, but it is very much a "built by humans" (me) experience. AI (mostly Claude and Perplexity) are used for research and brainstorming, but all writing and editing is done by human hands.
