AI-First Chief Marketing Officer

I turn ideas into brands that grow

I'm Michiel Das, a Chief Marketing Officer based in Barcelona. I build brands, grow them and put together the teams that keep them running. And since 2010 I have never stopped launching projects of my own along the way.

About me

Having an idea is easy

Surely this has happened to you more than once as well.

You're peacefully showering and when you're about to take the soap… BAAAAAM! You have a brilliant idea!

But not just any idea, but a creative solution that will turn the world into a better place, and in the process will make you a millionaire!

What do you do?

In the best case you take a pen and write it down (but on the other hand, who takes a pen to the shower?).

When leaving the shower you'll probably still be thinking about it, but in the end you'll decide that it's not worth trying because you lack time, money or motivation. In summary, because now is not the time.

And that wonderful idea is forgotten forever.

Sounds familiar?

The story you just read happened to me very often before.

But then I started to change my methods, read about how to improve my productivity, and how to turn my thoughts into new, creative and different projects.

And since then:

  • I've been featured in the (international) press with a project to find a job (by letting 3 business cards travel Spain)
  • I've created 4 startups (that are still operational today)
  • I've written a book and planted a tree (in only 3 hours, the night before I turned 30)
  • I've started teaching Digital Marketing and Branding in several business schools (which I'm combining with my full-time job)

Want to know some of my tricks to start taking action now? Have a look here.

What I do

How I see marketing

These are the four areas I led at Cuideo and SEAT | CUPRA, and the ones I lead today at Service Club ®. Under each one, a measured result.

Brand

What customers should think of you, why they pick you over the alternative and how you go to market with that message. When people search for the brand by name, each customer costs less.

9x branded searches versus the generic keyword of the sector, at Cuideo

Growth

Finding the channels that scale, from SEO, content and paid to partnerships and outbound, testing them fast and putting the budget where it pays off.

+43% MQLs a year with 29% better efficiency, at Cuideo

Data

Setting up measurement before moving budget, to know which channel works, which customer is profitable and at which step of the funnel sales are lost.

Revenue and RevOps

Acquisition, conversion and retention as one funnel, with marketing and sales looking at the same attribution and the same numbers. The target is set in revenue and margin.

+26% more opportunities closed as sales, at Cuideo

AI, the connector

It ties the four areas together: the website, campaigns, CRM and analytics share their data, AI agents do the repeatable work and the team spends its time deciding.
