The roast
Ragen runs a boutique consultancy called Strategy with Soul, which explains why she’s the only person in history to treat marketing for a degree-mill university like she’s managing a spiritual retreat. With an engagement rate lower than the graduation rate at Nexford, her SOUL Framework is clearly just a creative way to spell irrelevance.
About Ragen
I’m a full-stack marketing leader and founder, building growth engines that scale startups into industry contenders. Currently Head of Marketing, I lead the full marketing spectrum—demand gen, brand, content, product marketing, RevOps, and creative—with one goal: making marketing a direct driver of revenue and reputation. I also run Strategy with Soul, my boutique consultancy where I bring Fortune 500 frameworks and a decade of hypergrowth SaaS expertise to emerging companies. Through fractional leadership and sprint engagements, I help founders and executive teams turn messy GTM motions into modern, soul-infused strategies that actually deliver pipeline and brand equity. Across both worlds, I’ve: Built demand gen, RevOps, and marketing ops functions from scratch Launched global brand campaigns and thought-leadership platforms Driven measurable pipeline impact with hybrid attribution models Scaled cross-functional teams through frameworks, not fluff Used marketing as a lever for both growth and equity At my core, I merge data discipline with creative disruption. I believe marketing isn’t just about generating leads—it’s about building systems that buyers trust, teams can scale, and companies can rally around. And I bring more than numbers to the table. As a DEI advocate, I believe marketing leaders have a responsibility to use their platforms to elevate diverse voices and challenge the status quo.

true story. a brilliant SVP of Marketing once hired me because two Series A tech bro founders had stopped hearing her. not because she was wrong. because they had gotten comfortable dismissing her. for 10 weeks, we worked together through my Strategy With Soul framework. then I walked into the room and presented the same data. just a twist on a similar strategy that she had already presented. (getting out of lead gen hamster wheel FFS) AND.. the same warnings she had already given them. I just said it with grit, soul, and a tone that made it clear I wasn’t asking for permission to be righ

I made myself a promise this week: I will always aspire to be a ’90s-era marketer. Because I can admit it. AI has made me lazy sometimes. Everything is faster, and it looks like crap.. can we please just be honest about that. But think about the marketing we still remember from the ’90s. “Got Milk?” Budweiser’s “Whassup?” Apple’s “Think Different.” Pepsi turning commercials into full-blown cultural events. Those campaigns weren’t churned out to feed an algorithm. They had a point of view. They made us laugh, talk and remember. Same with the music. Janet. Usher. Backstreet Boys. Britney

LimeWire made an entire generation cybersecurity professionals. We knew which downloads looked suspicious. We knew one wrong click could destroy the family computer. And we knew the file labeled “new Usher song” might actually be an audio clip of Bill Clinton denying that infamous ***White House scandal.*** (lololol IYKYK) But I truly miss this era!!! UGH!! Take me back. Music was so DAMN good that we would wait FOUR HOURS for one song to download. Then we organized everything into carefully named folders, burned CDs and carried around those giant CD books like they contained classified inf
