CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER
Brie Entel
Hi again. I’m Brie Entel, the Chief Marketing Officer of Corporate Prose. I love all things marketing.
I founded Corporate Prose in late 2023, following a 20-year career as a corporate marketer. I love corporate life, but I ventured out ‘solo-ish’ to care for my special-needs kiddo.
I’m the ‘real deal.’ I’ve held Marketing Vice President roles at Fortune 500 and mid-sized companies. I hold a Master’s degree in Marketing from William & Mary and have obtained various professional certifications.
My not-so-hidden talent is turning technical jargon into stories, which I call ‘Corporate Prose.’
I’d love to work with you. If you have a project coming up or would like to chat, please schedule a call via my Calendly or send me an email.

FAQs
-
Our clients come to us with marketing challenges they can’t solve themselves. It could be lack of resources or time, perhaps there is a gap in subject matter or market.
Corporate Prose evaluates whether our expertise is a match or happily refer you to one of our many network partners.
We provide consulting in two stages:
Analysis and Strategy
This identifies the key to your challenge, market opportunity, and a high level overview of ‘where to play.’
Part two is execution. This is the step that most consultants skip. We actually get your project or program in motion with hands-on support for a minimum of 90 days.
Consulting engagements last about 6 months from start to finish. Some challenges are solved faster, others require more time to get fully operational.
-
Sometimes companies have a gap but can’t fill it right away with a full time employee.
Or, can’t wait for a new employee to get up to speed. Results need to happen now.
Corporate Prose provides interim marketing support embedded in your team at a senior marketing manager, marketing director, or marketing vice president level for a set contract term — 3,6,12 months at a time.
This closes gaps in coverage with less risk for the company. It also reduces cost as there are no agency mark-up fees, no W2 taxes or benefits, and set timelines to that work with your budget.
-
No.
There are a lot of fractional chief marketing officers that have popped up in the past few years.
The reason why corporate prose doesn’t take on fractional CMO roles is because we love ‘the doing’ of marketing.
CMOs are in the tough position of continuously PROVING return on investment. It’s a never ending cycle of reporting.
We’d rather be ‘the proof’ that marketing is working for your business.
-
Let’s face the music: Marketing consulting is saturated right now. There is fractional everything. You have a mix of near-retirement swan songs and insta-happy 20 somethings.
It’s hard to know whether you are getting a true expert or a fly-by-night.
The difference with Corporate Prose is that we are tenured practitioners who have BOTH the corporate experience as an Executive at a Fortune 500 AND the ability to execute.
You get the benefit of both. And, while we take great pride in our experience and outcomes - we are fair in pricing. Probably, a bit too fair.
That’s our difference. We’ve been there, done that, and can do it again for you.
-
We really do love to roll up our sleeves.
We can provide a range of projects — quoted as a ‘project fee’ based on scope.
Our favorite projects:
Market Research Reports
Long-form content and trend reports
Go-to-Market Packages for new products or services
Message Architecture and Sales Messaging
Vertical Market entry
Strategic Sales Enablement for ‘Big’ Deals’
-
We prefer to work either on a monthly retainer for a minimum of 3 months or quote by project scope.
This ensures you get the best work possible - without worrying about the minutes.
Occasionally, we will consult by the hour.
-
We are pretty fabulous - but, honest about our strengths.
We will refer you to trusted partners for the following:
Social Media & Influencer Marketing
Search Engine Optimization
Digital Marketing - PPC, SEM, etc.
B2C FMCG brands - we’ve got a friend for that!
