Michael Zeligs (MST, Stanford University CCRMA) serves as a Fractional CMO and Film Director, specializing in integrated marketing and end-to-end communications

Founder & Fractional CMO I serve as a Fractional CMO and Film Director for executive teams requiring high-fidelity communication assets and integrated marketing leadership. My work sits at the intersection of technical innovation and creative narrative, specializing in bridging the gap between complex infrastructure and market-ready storytelling. Background & Specialty With an MST from Stanford University’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), I apply an analytical, data-driven framework to end-to-end communication systems. My approach combines CMO-level strategic advisory with the internal production capacity of Start Motion Media, a boutique studio co-led by Meredith Rom (NYU Tisch School of the Arts). Representative Engagement & Impact Energy & Infrastructure: Directed the production for the Apple Green Bond showcase (Radian solar array); architected industrial communication systems for remote power generation in Nigeria and Uganda. Consumer Tech & Retail: Strategic marketing and media for the Dreampad (now distributed via Target); co-inventor of the first modular hardware Bitcoin ticker for retail environments. Media Architecture: Designed and executed livestreaming environments for global wellness brands, including Lululemon and Wanderlust. Market Entry: Facilitated the U.S. launch for hundreds of international brands through integrated video and ABM (Account-Based Marketing) campaigns. Editorial & Press Reach My strategic campaigns have secured client features across The Today Show, Ellen, CNN Money, TechCrunch, Inc. 500, and Mashable. Foundation & Social Responsibility Through our foundation arm, we provide strategic IT and media support for mission-driven organizations, including the Sky’s the Limit Foundation (Suicide Prevention) and Ace Coaching. We offer a "Full-Stack" marketing solution—providing both the strategic roadmap and the visual assets—for a fractional investment compared to a full-time executive department.

Brand promotion

  1. Social Media Stories and Reels: Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok thrive on short, snappy video content. Use these features to showcase product launches, behind-the-scenes snippets, and customer testimonials.
  2. YouTube Channel: Create a dedicated YouTube channel for brand promotion. Post a variety of content, from how-to guides and product demonstrations to engaging vlogs that reflect your brand’s personality.
  3. Live Streaming: Host live events on platforms such as Facebook Live or Instagram Live. Engage with your audience in real-time for product announcements, Q&A sessions, or interactive tutorials, offering a direct avenue for brand promotion.
  4. Video Testimonials: Encourage satisfied customers to share their experiences on video. These authentic reviews can be used on your website, social media, and email marketing campaigns for impactful brand promotion.
  5. Email Campaigns: Embed videos in your newsletters and promotional emails. Video content increases click-through rates and keeps your subscribers engaged, thereby boosting brand promotion efforts.
  6. Landing Page Videos: Feature a video on your landing page that succinctly conveys your brand message or product benefits. This strategy can increase conversion rates by keeping visitors on your site longer.
  7. Product Tutorials: Use instructional videos to show how your products work. These can be used across social media, your website, and YouTube to support brand promotion by educating and engaging your audience.
  8. Virtual Reality and 360-Degree Videos: For an immersive brand promotion experience, create VR or 360-degree videos. This technology is perfect for showcasing products or destinations, giving viewers an interactive way to engage with your brand.
  9. Webinars: Host educational webinars that offer value to your audience. Not only do they establish your authority, but they also promote your brand by positioning you as an industry expert.
  10. User-Generated Content: Encourage your audience to create and share their own videos featuring your products. This not only enhances brand promotion through word-of-mouth but also fosters community engagement.
  11. Influencer Collaborations: Partner with influencers to reach new audiences through their established followings. Influencer-created video content can greatly amplify your brand promotion efforts.
  12. Ad Campaigns: Invest in video ads on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Video ads are more likely to be viewed and remembered than other ad formats, making them a potent tool for brand promotion.
