Amanda Garrison
@amandagarrison
I build GTM, lifecycle, and digital growth systems that increase engagement, adoption, pipeline, and revenue.
What I'm looking for
I’ve led growth, lifecycle, product marketing, and digital transformation work for Amazon Prime Video, Capital Group, and BlackRock. At Prime Video, I drove 40% higher engagement, 30% greater product adoption, $5M in revenue impact, and 7% subscription growth.
At Capital Group, I rebuilt audience segmentation and marketing operating models, contributing to a 12% increase in meeting-to-proposal performance. At BlackRock, I modernized digital experiences across 10 global sites, reducing publishing timelines from eight weeks to two and increasing client engagement by approximately 30%.
Through AKG Marketing, I help startups and growth-stage businesses turn scattered activity into repeatable growth systems through GTM strategy, positioning, customer journeys, marketing operations, and AI-powered marketing audits.
