Wilkie.

Growth generalist. I build the strategy, write the brief, shape the messaging, and read the data — so you don't have to split that between four people.

I'm Chris Wilkie — a growth generalist with 15 years spent building brands, scaling revenue, and doing whatever needs doing between strategy and shipping.

The most underrated growth advantage isn't a new channel or a better tool. It's someone who can see the whole board.

The generalist approach is deliberate. In growth contexts, the person who can hold the strategic vision and write the landing page and understand the attribution data doesn't create bottlenecks — they remove them. That's the lens I bring.

I've worked across B2B technology, professional services, and consumer markets — with early-stage companies building their first real marketing function, and established businesses trying to scale what's already working. Based in Edinburgh. Open to the right challenge.

Your Current Company 2022 — Present

Head of Marketing / Senior Strategist

Add a sentence or two about your current role — what you own, what you've changed, and what kind of thinking you bring to the work. Keep it specific and outcomes-focused.

Marketing Manager

Describe the scope of this role — team size, budget, channels, or key projects you led. One or two sentences is enough; let the achievements section carry the numbers.

Earlier Role 2016 — 2019

Strategist / Consultant

Earlier career context — where you started, what you learnt, and how it shaped the way you work now. Formative roles often say more about someone than senior ones.

Strategy Research Consulting

Selected growth initiatives, brand builds, and scalable systems. Replace these cards with your real work — each one should carry a problem, an approach, and a number that matters.

Building or growing a team

Leadership achievements — hiring, developing people, building a function from scratch, or turning around an underperforming team.

×3 growth

Sustainable growth doesn't come from finding the right hack. It comes from building the right system — clear positioning, channels that work together, and the discipline to stay focused when something new is shiny.

The multi-skilled advantage is structural: when one person can take a brief from insight through strategy to execution, the gap between idea and impact shrinks. That's where I operate.

01

Clarity before scale

Confused messaging doesn't grow, it just spreads further. Get the fundamentals sharp before adding channels.

02

Generalists ship faster

A strategist who can write, analyse, and brief reduces handoffs and eliminates the gaps where momentum dies.

03

Metrics follow meaning

Numbers measure what happened. Understand the why, and you can make it happen again — on purpose.
