The roast
Christina spent five startups teaching herself how to build brands from nothing, which finally explains why Slate looks like she is still working on the trial version. She claims she doesn't use playbooks, but her feed is just a collection of LinkedIn’s generic growth hacks bound by a desperate need for validation. You are not a practitioner, you are just a girl who learned how to monetize her own lack of formal training into a 0.77 percent engagement rate.
About Christina
I didn’t enter marketing through a formal program. I built my career inside the social feeds. I was the first social hire at five different companies, each time starting from zero. No brand guidelines. No playbooks. Just business goals, a blank calendar, and me figuring it out as I went. Working that way taught me how to move fast without being careless. I could spot patterns before there was data, and I was able to make things resonate, especially when no one’s handed you the language yet. Everything I know, I had to teach myself. And that scrappiness shape my approach. It’s what made me enthusiastic about startups. Now, I’m a Head of Marketing. But I still operate like a practitioner. I still believe that good marketing is earned, not manufactured. And I still wrestle with what it means to do this work well—in a profession that rewards speed, but rarely stops to ask what we’re building long-term. I care a lot about trust. I care about storytelling with a spine. And I really, deeply, truly care about helping social and brand teams feel like they’re doing work that matters...not just content that performs. You won’t find playbook jargon or polished frameworks here. I write openly (and often) about the realities of leading marketing in my newsletter, TheseChapters. It’s a space for people who are figuring out the tension between growth and integrity, especially those who, like me, didn’t get here by playing it safe. If you’ve ever felt like the job was both wildly creative and quietly existential then you're my kinda people. Let's connect!

August is my seasonal “I’m overstimulated, so I’m going to touch grass…in Europe.” My operational mindset is always go, go, go. Which is fantastic right up until I’ve burned through the last flicker of creativity I have and suddenly my brain starts doing this: "This isn’t good." "I’m not good." "Fuck, they’re sooo good." "Why does this suck?" A very normal and productive line of thinking. And because so much of my work depends on having good solid great ideas, I can’t really afford to stay creatively burnt out for too long. So I did the very reasonable thing and left for Europe for a

A couple of years ago, I started writing a newsletter here on LinkedIn. Then I started writing on Substack and completely neglected this one. Sorry to the 4800 people who subscribed and then watched me wander off to another platform. I do want to revisit this space, though. There are pieces from my longer essays that I think would be useful to the wider marketing audience I’ve built here. So that’s what this platform native newsletter will be. I’ll use it to share excerpts about what I’m learning while building in public as a Head of Marketing. My Substack will continue to be a mixture o

I’ve worked in social media for more than a decade, and I still find myself in the convos with other social media peeps, debating many of the same questions: - What content actually works? - Have brands over-indexed on the media and forgotten the social part? - Should brands be in the comments? - And what does an effective social team look like today vs last year vs 10 years ago? The platforms and formats keep changing, but the same core problems keep coming back around. Tomorrow, I’m joining Santi C. from Respondology to talk about these questions and share what I’ve learned from years in
