Your Marketing Shouldn't Feel Like Guesswork
If marketing feels more exhausting than exciting right now, you're not alone. Most growing businesses are stuck running tactics without strategy—and getting inconsistent results because of it.
That's exactly what I help fix.
The Enterprise Experience That Changed Everything
For 15 years, I worked inside enterprise marketing organizations—the kind with seven-figure budgets, specialized teams, and sophisticated technology stacks. I built automated systems and led campaigns that moved the needle on revenue, not just vanity metrics.
But here's what struck me most during those years: The businesses that needed this strategic foundation the most—growing companies with big ambitions—were the ones who could least afford the enterprise solutions I was implementing.
They were stuck in a frustrating cycle: trying tactic after tactic, spending money without clear ROI, falling further behind their competitors who somehow seemed to have their marketing dialed in.
That's the gap MBJR Creative was built to close.
Mark Bailey, Jr. is a strategic marketing leader based in Northeast Florida with 15+ years of enterprise marketing experience. A Flagler College graduate, he's led marketing initiatives at NFP (an Aon company), The Bailey Group, and even worked in entertainment production on Fox's hit show Glee. He's served on multiple nonprofit boards in St. Augustine and currently helps growing businesses transform marketing from guesswork into predictable growth.
Strategy First. Then Everything Else Falls Into Place.
Most marketing consultants will hand you a strategy document and wish you luck with implementation. Most agencies will execute tactics without understanding your business deeply enough to know if they're even the right tactics.
I do both—and that changes everything.
When you work with me, you're getting someone who thinks strategically at the CMO level but rolls up his sleeves to actually build the systems, configure the automations, and optimize the technology that turns strategy into results. No handoffs to junior team members. No "implementation is extra." Just hands-on partnership from someone who's done this at scale.
Modern Tools, Zero Hype
You've probably noticed everyone talking about AI in marketing lately. Here's my take: AI is a powerful multiplier—when it's guided by solid strategy.
I use AI and automation to deliver enterprise-quality output at boutique pricing. It's how I can provide the strategic depth of a fractional CMO while also handling execution that would normally require a full team. But I'm not going to sell you on AI hype or convince you to buy proprietary software.
I work with what you've got—maximizing your existing tools, not selling you on something new.
Whether you're using HubSpot, Mailchimp, Salesforce, or even Google Sheets, my goal is to maximize the value of your existing tools—not migrate you to something new that requires retraining your entire team.
What Working Together Actually Looks Like
When we partner, you're not getting a vendor who disappears after delivering a report. You're getting a strategic advisor who understands your business, sees around corners you didn't know existed, and executes with precision.
You'll gain:
Most importantly, you'll finally have marketing that feels predictable—not like guessing.
The Bottom Line
I started MBJR Creative because I believe growing businesses deserve the same strategic marketing foundation that enterprise companies take for granted. You shouldn't have to choose between expensive guesswork and doing nothing.
Marketing can be your competitive advantage. It can drive predictable growth. It just needs strategy, execution, and modern efficiency working together.
