The Growth GuyDonMekkes
Founder, MBA / The Growth Agency
Don is a sales, marketing, and business development fanatic with a passion for growth, action, and building brands. His career spans continents, industries, and functions, on the corporate and agency side. He loves transformation and ambiguity and describes himself as a growth-driven activator, who leads with laughter, drinks too much coffee, and loves pushing boundaries.
How Don works.
Don founded The Growth Agency and still leads the strategy on every account. His career covers sales, marketing and business development on both the corporate and the agency side, across industries and continents, which is why he is comfortable with a business that is still working out what it is.
A first conversation with Don is about the business, not about marketing. He asks what you sell, who buys it, what a good month looks like and what is standing in the way. The plan comes after that, and it names the few things worth doing first rather than everything that could be done.
Don leads the brand and positioning work, the growth strategy engagements and the fractional leadership roles, where he joins a client team as its CMO, COO or CRO for a set number of days a month. He also runs the coaching sessions for owners and executives who want someone to hold them to the plan.
