She is a revenue-focused marketing leader with deep experience building and scaling premium CPG, food & beverage, Bev-Alc, and produce brands in competitive retail environments.

Are you a CPG leader frustrated by promo spend that doesn’t translate into real lift?

The problem isn’t effort — it’s:

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Built to disrupt.

Legacy processes rarely produce breakthrough growth. We challenge assumptions, question outdated models, and reframe opportunity through a commercial lens.

Designed to scale.

Strong brands require infrastructure. We build modular systems and disciplined frameworks that support sustainable, profitable expansion.

From insight to shelf

Strategy must convert to sell-through. We connect data-driven insight to real-world execution — aligning brand positioning, trade strategy, and distribution to drive velocity.

SERVICES

At JLV Marketing Collective, we don’t just build plans — we build momentum. Our Fractional CMO services are designed for brands that need senior marketing leadership without the full-time overhead.

Whether you’re scaling distribution, launching innovation, or working to make marketing drive revenue, we plug in where it matters most.

Using the RevenueSync Method™, we help partners increase marketing ROI by 20%+ and improve contribution margin by 10–15% within 90 days.

MY MODEL

I’ve seen how much margin brands leave on the table when promotional decisions are driven by instinct instead of insight, and when execution breaks down between strategy and the shelf.

That’s why I created the RevenueSync Method™ — a 90-day promo-to-revenue framework designed to help CPG brands increase promotional ROI and improve contribution margin without adding headcount or disrupting the existing promo calendar.

The problem isn’t effort — it’s:

Program Review

We partner with CPG and F&B brands to turn marketing into a revenue engine.

The RevenueSync Method™ aligns brand, sales, and execution — eliminating silos and connecting every initiative to measurable commercial impact, from insight to shelf to sale.

Results:

Most CPG promotions don’t fail because of effort — they fail because they’re not connected to revenue.

The RevenueSync Method™ fixes that.We bring structure, discipline, and accountability to promotional strategy — without adding headcount or disrupting what’s already in market.

With RevenueSync, clients gain:

Promo ROI Visibility

No more guessing. Every promotion is tied to clear financial impact and performance accountability.

Contribution Margin Alignment

Promotions stop chasing volume and start protecting — and growing — margin.

Insight-to-Execution Systems

Data stops sitting in reports and starts driving retailer-level action.

Business & Revenue Model

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on how RevenueSync™ works, what it requires, and how it drives measurable growth.

How do I know this will drive real revenue, not just more reporting?

Because we don’t measure success by activity—we measure it by revenue. Every recommendation is tied to sell-through, ROI, and margin impact. If it doesn’t drive measurable business outcomes, it doesn’t make the plan. This is how marketing shifts from reporting to a true growth engine.

Because this isn’t about replacing your team—it’s about making them more effective. We align brand, sales, and execution across internal teams and partners, connecting everything to revenue outcomes. The result isn’t more work—it’s better, more focused work that drives growth.

No—this is about making what you already have work harder. We optimize your existing budget, tools, and team—eliminating inefficiencies and redirecting spend toward what actually drives sell-through, ROI, and margin.

You’ll see where you’re losing money almost immediately—and where to fix it. Most clients identify quick wins within 30–60 days, with measurable revenue impact building as optimized strategies and promotions move through execution.

Most brands don’t stand still—they lose efficiency over time. Promotions become reactive, spend becomes harder to justify, and teams stay busy without a clear connection to revenue. That gap compounds into margin pressure and missed growth opportunities. If you’re ready to connect marketing to real revenue outcomes—let’s talk.
