Est. Los AngelesAnastas
Fractional CMO and Brand Strategist for Technology Companies
Louis Anastas helps founders and CEOs sharpen positioning, launch products, and build brands — without hiring a full-time executive.
I'm based in Los Angeles and work with B2B tech, aerospace, hardware, and healthcare companies throughout the U.S. that need senior marketing leadership now, not a six-month search. I step in as your strategist and maker to clarify who you are, who you serve, and why it matters — then turn that into positioning, messaging, and content that actually gets traction. My experience spans startups and growing mid-sized companies as well as major brands including Boeing, GE Healthcare, L3Harris, and SureFire.
The Premise
Marketing should make a strong business easier to understand — and easier to choose.
Sometimes the product is better than the story being told about it. Sometimes a company has outgrown its brand. Sometimes there is plenty of marketing activity, but no clear idea tying it together.
That is usually where I come in. I help companies find the clearest, most authentic version of their story, decide who they most need to reach, and build the marketing around it. My background is unusually hands-on for a senior marketing leader: I can develop the strategy, but I can also write the copy, shape the website, direct the video, interview the customer and work with the team that gets it into market.
Marketing Strategy and Go-to-Market Leadership
Launching a product. Entering a market. Giving sales a stronger more aligned foundation. As a fractional CMO, I turn those business priorities into a focused marketing strategy for startups and midsize technology companies. I lead internal teams and outside partners, direct investment where it matters, and measure progress — so marketing works toward stronger launches, new customers, and revenue growth.
Brand Positioning and Content Development
Strong technology solves a problem. Effective marketing shows why that solution matters to the people facing it. I sharpen positioning and find the real stories that make a company’s value clear. Then I write, direct, and create the videos, content, and campaigns that carry those stories into the market — earning attention, building trust, and turning customer interest into business.
For more than two decades, I have helped build brands, launch products and tell the stories behind sophisticated companies and technologies.
My work has included L3Harris, Boeing, GE Healthcare, Honeywell and SureFire, along with mid-sized companies and startups where the marketing function and content itself still needed to be built.
I build marketing and tell stories that move people—and move businesses forward. Video is often the most potent tool to do both, and I’ve used it throughout my career to launch products, build brands, and create demand. Here are just three of thousands—vastly different in style, scale, audience, and budget. See more work on YouTube.
I like being close to the work and close to the people doing it. Good marketing rarely comes from a leader working at a distance. It comes from asking good questions, listening carefully, getting the team aligned, caring about the details and then moving.
I also believe people do better work when they enjoy working together. I try to bring high standards without making the process heavy — with candor, humor, collaboration and a real sense of team.
“Louis brought positivity, humor, and a real sense of team… it built genuine camaraderie and kept the brand and the project moving forward.”
