About

Matt Bernier pointing
BRAND

Hi, I'm Matt.

Twenty years where marketing meets technology: launching OldNavy.com, commercializing Visa's loyalty products, selling Media.Monks' first AI engagement, activating global sports and entertainment deals.

In 2023 I founded Craft Batch to bring that senior thinking to founder-led startups and small businesses, where one AI-native operator can move a business.

Available for fractional CMO, embedded, and project work.

Led marketing for 20+ years

My services

Three ways to work together.

No hourly. Every engagement is scoped to a clear outcome.

Sprint

Project · 1 to 4 weeks

Bring one problem. We solve it fast, and build the fix to last.

  • We talk through whatever's in the way: creative, operations, workflow, or growth, from SMB to enterprise.
  • Flexible on timing, speed, scope, and deliverables. The work shapes around your problem, not a fixed package.
  • Solved with AI and modern tools, so there are more ways to reach a real answer, faster.
  • Built to be repeatable. You walk away with a system you can run again, not a one-off fix.
  • We keep going until you're genuinely happy with the result.
Best fit for most

Retainer

1-month minimum

Everything a sprint is, with room for bigger problems and more moving parts.

  • The flexibility of a sprint, scaled up for more complex work over multiple weeks.
  • We set priorities together and adjust as your business moves.
  • Hands-on coordination with your team and outside vendors, so the work actually ships.
  • AI and modern tools doing the heavy lifting, so one partner covers a team's worth of ground.
  • Steady check-ins and a clear read on what's working.

Embedded

3-month minimum

Embedded in your team to drive major change and real growth, on a clear timeline.

  • I join your team as a leader or a doer, whatever the moment calls for.
  • Built for major change and significant growth, not incremental tweaks.
  • Fractional CMO scope: strategy, execution, and team or vendor leadership.
  • AI and modern tools built into how your team works, so the gains hold.
  • Board and investor communications support when you need it.

Let's talk.
