About Us
Modern Craft helps brands supercharge the marketing operations function.
We started in 2014 with a focus on strategy. Our goal was to help marketing leaders to connect all of their teams, tech and channels in service of something bigger—a clear north star.
As time went on, our work pulled us deeper inside the marketing organization. We soon realized that a strategy is only as good as your ability to turn it into operational reality. That this ability is the real marketing superpower. The truest source of competitive advantage. Impossible to copy. Crucial to success.
At the same time, we noticed the marketing ops function maturing—growing in breadth and importance. Playing a more strategic role as marketing leaders expanded internal capabilities and worked to drive positive change.
So that’s where we decided to put our focus. Our primary goal now is to fuel the evolution of the marketing operations function. To help practitioners hone their craft. And, above all, to help marketing leaders take the marketing ops function to the next level in their organization.
We’ve maintained our strategy practice as well. Because we believe that strategy and operations are, ultimately, inseparable. Doing one well requires a deep understanding of the other.

Our Values

Above & Beyond
Quality matters. We’ve got high standards and it shows. Every project counts, no matter how small. Whatever problem we’re tackling, we go beyond the brief. Beyond the S.O.W. And beyond the obvious answers.

Genuine
In an industry full of posturing, puffery and hidden agendas, we strive to be sincere, impartial and unbiased. We value honesty and kindness. We show up every day as real people with real points-of-view—flaws and all.

Thoughtful
We believe in taking the time to pause and reflect. We care deeply about our clients—who they are and what they’re trying achieve. We tackle their problems from multiple angles—pulled deeper by empathy and curiosity.

Pragmatic
Our beliefs are idealistic. But as we work to put those beliefs into practice, we’re grounded in a clear-eyed assessment of what’s practically possible. We’re also nimble and flexible—untethered by rigid concepts or processes. Able to adapt on the fly and rise to challenge.
