Marketing Director

R.P.M. A 30-year marketing strategist and veteran who spent decades in the trenches of B2B marketing before discovering something most marketers miss entirely: the best content strategies don't function like machines—they grow like forests. That insight became The Marketing Forest Philosophy, a framework that reimagines content ecosystems through ecological principles. Anchor content as old-growth canopy. Derivative pieces as understory. Engagement as nutrient cycling. It's not metaphor for its own sake—it's a fundamentally different way to build sustainable marketing systems that compound over time rather than demanding constant replanting. As Director of Marketing & Development at MD Electric Group, R.P.M. applies these principles in one of the most demanding B2B environments imaginable: federal contracting, marine electrical systems, and industrial automation. The company's 25-year track record serving everyone from Washington State Ferries to DoD shipyards has provided the ultimate testing ground for content strategies that actually work when the sales cycle is long, the stakes are high, and the audience has zero patience for fluff. The Marketing Forest Mastery Guide distills nine months of intensive development into a comprehensive system for building regenerative content ecosystems. AskRPM.ai brings that framework to life as an interactive platform launching January 2026. R.P.M. publishes two LinkedIn newsletters—The Marketing Forest and The Current Conversation—maintaining 60% open rates by practicing what he preaches: depth over frequency, value over volume.
