What Leaders Need to Know
Most companies don’t have a marketing problem. They have a leadership problem. They’re not bad leaders — they’re just running on “outdated software.” The CEO doesn’t speak the language of the 25-year-old social media manager. The marketing team can’t read the mind of an owner who came up in the era of newspaper ads and trade shows. The tech stack marketers use is growing and confusing. Can you trust AI? Today’s leaders are running on an outdated “operating system,” and the result is a gap — in trust, in strategy, in results.
I’m David Day, and bridging that gap is what I do for a living. I speak about it. I coach leaders through it. I train teams to close it. And when companies need an experienced hand on the marketing wheel, I step in as a fractional CMO until they’re ready to roll on their own.
Four ways to work together.
Pick the door that fits the moment you’re in.
Speaking & Keynotes
Conference stages, leadership retreats, university programs, and podcasts. Five signature talks rooted in 35 years of in-the-trenches marketing leadership.
Workshops & Training
Half-day, full-day, and multi-session formats for executive teams and marketing departments. Built around the principles in The Marketing Gap.
Executive & Marketing Coaching
One-on-one coaching for marketers trying to lead better — from Marketing Directors to Coordinators, Quarterly engagements with measurable outcomes.
The book that started the conversation.
The Marketing Gap: Bridging the Generational Gap Between Leaders and Marketing Teams is the field guide for the executives and team members who need to close the trust-and-translation gap that’s quietly costing American companies millions. It’s the foundation of every talk, workshop, and coaching engagement I run.

Whether you need a keynote, a coach, or a CMO for the next chapter, the conversation starts the same way: a 30-minute call. Free. No pressure. We figure out together whether I’m the right answer to whatever you’re trying to fix.
