Hey,
I'm Corey Washington.
Full-Stack Marketing Leader | Senior Strategy, Hands-On Execution, Data-Driven Growth
Whether you need a marketing strategy, creative ideation, or hands-on campaign execution, I excel at making brands unforgettable. I deliver value as a senior executive, collaborative partner, or fractional contributor.
Let’s create high-impact results together.

For 14+ years, I’ve worked across healthtech, SaaS, and professional services, designing systems, campaigns, and customer journeys that transform complex ideas into measurable growth. My sweet spot is where creativity, data, and tech meet.
I started my marketing career managing enterprise martech builds, campaigns, and persona-based content. I quickly learned that even the best ideas need strong systems and strategies. Blending audience insight, automation, human-enabled AI, and creativity, I build frameworks that help teams cut through go-to-market chaos, stay aligned, and grow with confidence.
I’m equal parts data-driven and creative. I listen deeply, simplify the complex, and execute with empathy and intent. Whether leading teams, contributing hands-on, or supporting with fractional strategy, I bring energy, flexibility, and vision to every project.
Outside of work, you’ll find me exploring new cities, chasing great coffee, binge-watching reality TV, trying the latest AI tools, or living my best life as a roller coaster enthusiast, trying some of the newest record-setting coasters.
Principles that represent not just my professional approach, but the core values that guide my interactions, decisions, and leadership style.
Lead with Context
Understanding the "why" behind our tasks ignites creativity, ensures collective alignment with our goals, and makes everyone a vital part of the journey. To accomplish this, I lead with context and compassion to foster a culture of accountability and shared success.
Data-Based Decisions
Blend research-based evidence with an understanding of emotional impact. This approach ensures our decisions are informed, empathetic, and effective.
Practice Empathy
Actively strive to see the world from diverse perspectives, fostering deeper connections and understanding.
Creativity Has No Walls
The most effective leaders foster an environment where exploration and discovery are limitless, encouraging fresh, innovative ideas to thrive. This mindset keeps us agile and ahead in a constantly evolving market.
Always Bring Your Whole Self
Let's be real, have fun, and bring our whole selves to the table. It's our unique quirks that can be a complementary superpower to any team and organization as a whole. It's this mix of individuality and passion that sparks the most creative and effective collaborations.
Fail Fast & Learn
Mistakes and setbacks can be excellent learning opportunities. Quick failures lead to faster insights that fuel real growth. Innovation can only happen when there is a desire to try something new.
