Hi! I’m Cory Huff
Marketing Ops Leader | Growth Strategist | Storyteller & Mentor
I’ve spent my life bridging gaps—bringing order to chaos, scaling high-growth business operations, and building teams that thrive. I’m told I do this with a rare combination of tech savvy and infectious enthusiasm for the success of my team.
I started out as a storyteller—an actor, writer, and performer—before discovering my love for marketing and technology. Something clicked when I realized that great marketing can just be great storytelling powered by data. Over the years, I’ve built my career at the intersection of MarTech, lifecycle marketing, and growth, helping companies turn complex systems into high-performing revenue engines.
But even more interesting than the tech is the people. I’ve built and led high-performing marketing teams that don’t just hit KPIs but actually love the work they do. Leadership, to me, is a lot like running a Dungeons & Dragons campaign: you need a clear vision, a solid strategy, and the ability to adapt to whatever crazy things happen along the way. The best teams aren’t just executing tactics—they’re on an adventure, solving problems creatively, and playing to their strengths.
Here’s some recent projects I really enjoyed.
At Discogs, I helped modernize their marketing automation and CRM strategy, scaling their marketable audience into the millions and driving a huge increase in messaging-attributed eCommerce conversions.
At Productive Flourishing I helped raise seed capital for Momentum App, a productivity tool built on Charlie Gilkey’s expertise in productivity and teamwork.
I supported a company in the coaching industry that acquired a new startup, helping them scale up their marketing. Our team Drove 1.3x ROI on $3.6M annual SEM & Social ad spend.
I’m used to working with founders, and I’ve been one myself. I helped thousands of creatives build sustainable businesses through one of my previous startups, TheAbundantArtist.com. I’ve written a #1 Amazon best-selling book How to Sell Your Art Online, coached business owners on digital marketing, and spoken at conferences around the world.
Through my church service, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring adults and youth groups, community building, and personal growth—reinforcing my belief that great leadership is about serving others and helping them succeed.
At the end of the day, I’m all about building systems that work, creating customer experiences that matter, and leading teams that thrive. If you want to collaborate, build something together, or just talk, feel free to reach out.
