Jamie C. Smith - Brand and Marketing Consultant

It Began Over a Beer

I helped pioneer the craft beer industry and built several iconic brands along the way. 

My career in marketing began over a beer. A passionate home brewer with loftier aspirations to start my own brewery, I took the helm of marketing at the regional brewery, Firestone Walker. Serving as Head of Marketing and Brand for Firestone Walker Brewing Company for 15 years, I saw the emergence of craft beer from a novel idea to a powerful influencer in the beverage world.

At Firestone Walker I was proud to build and lead a world-class team of creative and marketing minded people who introduced ground-breaking brands like 805. I know the importance of leveraging limited resources to tell stories and propel brands to another level.

From leading a team to working as a brand and marketing consultant, I’ve helped several companies find their story. My clients have ranged from CPG brands to tourism and even non-profits, with every experience providing a new challenge and opportunity.

I understand and embrace the challenges of limited budgets/resources and competitive marketplaces. I know the path of creating and navigating a marketing plan with small teams in an ever-evolving dynamic.

Working with business owners and internal marketing teams to help discover unique brand stories and share them with the world through marketing innovation is what I do.

Most companies find themselves quickly entrenched in the immediate needs of their business and brand often takes a reluctant back seat. Outside perspective from an experienced and proven source can help you uncover your brand and set it on a course to differentiate your company.
