"When you build truly inclusive environments

where teams can thrive

and bring their authentic selves

VISIONARY

Virginie is passionate about Web3, the next generation of the internet. This new evolution of the internet is about ownership because it embeds new ways to distribute and exchange value.

 

Everyone is a shareholder in something, Tokens, Robinhood slices of shares to Angellist slices of start-ups, the micro everything removes the barriers to entry.

 

In addition, Web3 is the future of work. The great resignation is a reality. Work independence and self-determination are the biggest drivers that will shape the future of work.

What they're saying

When Virginie worked with my company as a fractional CMO, she helped us across branding, content marketing, and general marketing strategies.
It’s clear she has a tremendous amount of industry experience. She helped us apply frameworks (such as her Brand Architecture Framework) across business lines and recognize missing or weak points on all things marketing. We worked together across brand, messaging, content marketing, and SEM strategy.
Virginie was consistently a pleasure to work with. Very easy to schedule (or reschedule) with and always brings her A-game.

Virginie was my fractional CMO during my maternity leave and I couldn't have selected a better fit. As a very small (but growing quickly!), early stage venture where we all where MANY hats - her assignment was a difficult one to step into. But she rolled up her sleeves and took on a critical portion of my role - one where the day-to-day can be unpredictable even for an FTE, one in an industry that has particular needs as related to content and context, one where she had to interact directly on my behalf both with the internal C-Suite and my agencies. She did so while both giving and taking feedback graciously and earning the trust of all involved. Thank you Virginie, quite literally for my maternity leave!

I highly recommend Virginie and the entire team at AcornOak for your company's branding, marketing and sales strategy development. Virginie and team worked alongside our small team to establish building blocks and roadmaps to help us with everything from our brand architecture framework to sales strategy. Their suggestions and acumen truly helped us develop a strong foundation, and provided the us with the insight we needed to establish a solid plan for the future. I couldn't be any more pleased with the outcome of our work together.

I worked with Virginie Glaenzer in her role as Fractional CMO at Zinier.
Virginie has made a profound impact on our marketing strategy, and I am confident in their ability to do the same for any company fortunate enough to work with them.
Virginie brought an incredible depth of expertise and strategic thinking to our team. Her insights and guidance helped us develop a tailored strategy that aligned with our specific. business goals and challenges. She also seamlessly integrated with our existing team, fostering collaboration and a culture of continuous improvement

What truly sets Virginie apart is her speed and organization skills. Virginie was quick to identify the gaps in resources and skillsets, and used her personal network to help us fill those gaps very quickly. She is very organized and can work with all levels of an organization - whether it is presenting the big picture in an exec meeting or getting her hands dirty and getting down to the nitty gritty in content.

Virginie also has a unique ability to develop a tailored strategy that aligned with our specific. business goals and challenges. As our requirements changed, Virginie was able to adapt the strategy very quickly to meet our new requirements.
I highly recommend Virginie - her expertise, strategic mindset, and dedication have had a profound impact on our organization's marketing efforts, and I have no doubt they will continue to drive success for her clients.

I had the pleasure of stepping into a new role on a team Virginie was guiding to develop a successful marketing operation as fractional CMO. I was immediately impressed with her depth of experience in marketing and brand development, and even more so in the way she mentored team members of all experience levels. From our CEO and executive team to the new employees approaching marketing from a high level for the first time, Virginie gave our team a common understanding of storytelling and authentic engagement that set us on the right path for long term success. She asked the big questions that got us thinking and then followed it up with practical tools and systems we can build on as we grow. She was patient, kind, and exceedingly encouraging at every turn. Virginie was an exceptional mentor and thinking partner to me and one I plan to return to for advise and guidance large and small in the future.
