There is a time to think and a time to do.
Occasionally, those times overlap and you feel overwhelmed. You don’t have the marketing resources or the expertise to tackle big business challenges, and you need help pushing forward because standing still isn’t cutting it.
You need a seasoned agency veteran and fractional marketer who has built scalable solutions for brands of all sizes for years. Someone who can jump in immediately, who ‘gets it’ and has the network to turn goals into results.
I can help. Right here, right now.

What People Are Saying
“Sean Connacher is quite simply the ideal account lead for any client. He is professional, insightful, curious, passionate, and creative. His business acumen and strategic chops are as strong as his creative instincts. He understands the vast and ever-growing dimensions of marketing from media to AI to concepting to production and is able to seamlessly integrate teams across every discipline. He is collaborative and welcomes all opinions and points of view while also still able to synthesize a singular direction and rally even the most disparate of teams to act as one and move forward. I have worked with Sean for many years across a variety of accounts and categories, and I only hesitate to say nice things about him publicly because it might mean he gets too busy to have time to work with me.”
— Rachel Howald, Founder/Chief Creative Officer at Invisible Man
“I can't say enough good things about the value Sean brought to our team at San Diego International Airport. He proved to be incredibly skilled at taking a newly-established brand promise and creating a robust, integrated marketing plan to bring it to life—from messaging and channel strategies to internal and external engagement—and he had a crystal clear vision for how to best move things forward in a way that brought everyone along for the ride. Sean also masterfully facilitated conversations and frictional debate/pushback to gain meaningful insights and buy-in. He always leaves you with a strong sense that he understands the next steps perfectly, and then he delivers.
If you are considering working with Sean and his firm, you can count on this: he will provide a focus and a plan that will equip you to best tell your story. And he'll make it fun.”
— Jon Graves, Director of Customer Experience at the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority
"Sean was an instrumental member of the team who introduced San Diego Community Power to our region recently. We were operating in startup mode, so I needed a partner who was thoughtful, resourceful, and all-in on my business. Sean delivered all that, and constantly planned two steps ahead on our behalf. I always trusted that his ideas were based in strategy, and he committed himself to truly listening to our staff as well as a litany of stakeholders - which resulted in breakthrough work that shattered category conventions."
— Cody Hooven, Principal/Co-Founder at Evolution Affairs
"I've now had the chance to work with Sean on two large branding and marketing projects, and I genuinely can't wait to work with him whenever opportunity knocks. Sean has raw talent that goes beyond distilling business objectives into marketing strategies or solutions. Sean has something you can't necessarily teach, and that is the ability to intimately understand the people on all sides of a project. The results are unexpected, creative, and engaging marketing platforms that SING!"
— Jordan Stark, Founder/Creative Director at Product Etcetera
“Sean personifies the old adage of treating a client’s business as your own and this comes cross in everything that he does to ensure things are not just done well, but right. Highly strategic, conceptual and creative- his mastery of agency disciplines and the roles they play in an integrated marketing plan make him an asset in any meeting. Sean’s comfort as a leader and a highly effective orator round out his skills that make him weapon in any boardroom, forum or team that’s lucky to have him. Simply put, Sean will be successful in whatever he puts his mind too and I'd love the opportunity to work with him again.”
— Pete Levine, Vice President Client Services at Civilian, Inc.
“Sean is the rare person who is a great thinking and a great doer, which makes him a terrific partner. I’ve witnessed him do everything from lead the development of strategic presentations to lead big shoots, to developing digital experiences. He’s done it all and I’m sure will do much more with his career.”
— Helder Santo, Chief Executive Officer Americas at AKQA
“Sean spearheaded numerous critical initiatives on Chase when we worked together. He combines a strong business sense with excellent creative judgement, making him a valued partner both internally and externally. He works hard and truly cares about doing the right thing for the business.”
— Michael Angelovich, Founder/Chief Executive Officer at Humankind Strategy
“Sean and I partnered on a massive and complicated digital initiative - one that tested our patience and pushed our creative problem solving to the next level. He innately understands the WHY and trusts his teams to execute the HOW. Perhaps his most critically valuable skill is his problem solving; he asks the hard questions and powers full speed ahead to fill the gaps. He also knows exactly when to pull back and deploy a different strategy, if the circumstances call for it. Sean’s passion comes through his inclination to take on quality, meaningful work with smart, collaborative people. I’ll find a reason to work with Sean again!”
— Kate Flores, Vice President of Operations at Compass Digital
