Testimonials

“During a pivotal time of change at Bloomfire, we had the privilege of working with Carol Eversen from Chief Outsiders as our interim CMO. Carol made an immediate and significant impact. She collaborated with our finance team to develop marketing metrics that were closely aligned with our business objectives and then led the marketing team to adopt a culture intensely focused on achieving these goals. Carol also identified and replaced underperforming vendors, created updated content that drove additional engagement and ultimately enhanced our marketing ROI. Additionally, she played a key role in onboarding and supporting our new permanent CMO, ensuring a smooth and effective transition. I highly recommend Carol and Chief Outsiders for any organization in need of interim or fractional revenue leadership, and should I ever need her or Chief Outsiders service in the future I will use them. I'd be happy to speak with anyone about the positive impacts Carol and Chief Outsiders had on our business.”
