# Matching Agent <> Jackie Anzaroot Meeting ID: 01KWW0DYBJ86B32N718WHR0MBT Date: 2026-07-06T15:25:00.000Z Host: raaja@marketerhire.com Agent: Hey Jackie Anzaroot. Agent: Thanks for hopping on. Agent: I'm the AI assistant for Marketer Hire and I'll be running our intro chat today. Agent: I've been trained on over 30,000 of our Marketer matches, so I can help zero in on the right fit for you. Agent: Fast to start. Agent: Would it help if I gave a quick overview of how we work or would you rather jump straight into what you're looking for? Jackie Anzaroot: Overview,. Agent: Sure. Agent: So Marketer Hire is essentially the fastest way to get a senior pre vetted marketing specialist working for your business without the overhead of a full time Hire or the markup of an agency. Agent: A few things that set us apart. Agent: First, the talent quality is really high. Agent: We accept less than 1% of applicants and every Marketer is vetted both by our team and by another expert Marketer. Agent: We're talking people like the former head of paid search at Airbnb or the former CMO of Upwork freelancing on the platform. Agent: Second, we match true channel specialists, not generalists. Agent: So if you need someone in paid social or email or SEO, you're getting someone who lives and breathes that one thing. Agent: And third, it's zero risk to try. Agent: There's a two week trial that's fully refundable. Agent: Everything is month to month with a simple 30 day notice. Agent: No long term contracts or recruiting fees. Agent: We can typically match you in about two business days. Agent: Does that give you a good enough picture or any questions before we dig into your situation? Jackie Anzaroot: Sounds good. Agent: Great. Agent: So tell me a bit about the business, what you do, what stage you're at and what brought you to market or Hire today. Jackie Anzaroot: Early stage, looking for brand strategist. Agent: Got it. Agent: Early stage and looking for brand strategy help. Agent: That's a great. Agent: Ah, sounds good. Agent: Let's keep moving then. Agent: Can you give me a quick overview of the company, what you do and what space you're in. Jackie Anzaroot: Supplement brand for mental wellness. Agent: Nice. Agent: Love that space. Agent: And what are the main marketing challenges you're running into right now? Agent: What are you trying to solve or accomplish? Jackie Anzaroot: Develop a brand identity. Agent: Got it. Agent: So you're really at the ground floor of building out who you are as a brand. Agent: Do you have anything in place today? Agent: Any in house marketing support, an agency, or is it pretty much just you right now? Jackie Anzaroot: Pretty much just me. Agent: Okay, makes sense for early stage. Agent: And in terms of channels, are you thinking about this purely from a brand identity and strategy standpoint or are you also looking to activate a cross specific specific channels like paid social content or something else? Jackie Anzaroot: Just brand identity for now. Agent: Got it. Agent: And what Would success look like in the first 60 to 90 days? Agent: Like, how would you know? Agent: The brand work is landing,. Jackie Anzaroot: Completing deliverables. Agent: Makes sense. Agent: What kind of deliverables are you thinking? Agent: Like a brand guide, messaging framework, visual identity, that kind of thing. Jackie Anzaroot: Brand guide, verbal identity. Agent: Got it. Agent: So a brand guide and verbal identity framework, that's a pretty focused scope. Agent: How soon are you looking to get someone started? Jackie Anzaroot: Pretty soon,. Agent: No worries. Agent: Sounds like things are moving fast on your end. Agent: And will you be working with this Marketer directly or is there someone else on your team they'd be coordinating with directly? Agent: Perfect. Agent: And just so I can get a sense of the full picture, is this a brand new function for you or are you replacing someone who was doing this before? Jackie Anzaroot: Brand new. Agent: Got it. Agent: So based on everything you've shared, early stage supplement, brand building, brand identity from scratch, focused deliverables, like a brand guide. Agent: Sure. Agent: Take your time. Jackie Anzaroot: Go ahead. Jackie Anzaroot: Oh, I saw this. Jackie Anzaroot: Yeah, we saw that. Jackie Anzaroot: We saw that yesterday. Agent: No worries. Agent: So based on what you've shared, early stage mental wellness supplement, brand building from scratch, focused deliverables, like. Jackie Anzaroot: Go ahead. Agent: Got it. Agent: So based on what you've shared, early stage mental wellness supplement, brand building from scratch, focused deliverables like a brand guide and verbal identity, I'd recommend a brand Marketer that's someone who specializes in exactly this kind of foundational brand work. Agent: And since your scope is pretty focused, a couple of core deliverables rather than a full ongoing plate. Agent: That's a nice contained engagement for a brand Marketer. Agent: Engagements typically run around 10 to 12,000amonth. Agent: All in, that covers the marketer's rate plus us, no separate fees. Agent: Given your scope is on the lighter, more focused side, you'd likely land toward the lower end of that range. Agent: Does that sound like it's in line with what you were expecting? Jackie Anzaroot: Yes. Agent: Great. Agent: And are you looking into any other options for this right now, or is Marketer Hire the main avenue you're exploring? Jackie Anzaroot: A few other options. Agent: Got it. Agent: Good to be exploring. Agent: And what monthly budget are you working with for the Marketer? Jackie Anzaroot: It varies. Agent: That's totally fine. Agent: Just to give you a directional sense for a brand Marketer, at your scope, plan on roughly 10,000amonth. Agent: All in. Agent: Does that feel about right for what you had in mind? Jackie Anzaroot: Yes, feels right. Agent: And just so you know, the stronger the budget within that range, the more senior the specialists who will want the role. Agent: So you get a better shortlist to choose from. Agent: So here's what happens next. Agent: We start matching right away, usually within about two business days. Agent: We'll send you the marketer's bio to review and once you're happy with the match, we go straight to signing the agreement and kicking off your two week trial. Agent: The whole thing is often wrapped up within about a week, and remember, the trial is fully refundable if it's not the right fit. Agent: I'll follow up by email with a recap and Next Steps. Agent: We already have your contact details. Agent: Is there anything else on your mind before we wrap up? Jackie Anzaroot: No, that's it. Agent: This was really great. Agent: Thanks so much for taking the time today, Jackie. Agent: I'll get to work on finding the right brand Marketer for you and follow up shortly with Next Steps. Agent: Have a great rest of your day ending the call now. Agent: Take care. Agent: Jackie.

Scope: Narrow and contained. Two core deliverables: a brand guide and a verbal identity framework. The assistant described this as "a nice contained engagement for a brand Marketer."

Attendees attendees.md
Attendees
- Jackie Anzaroot — Primary contact / prospect, BeWell Brands (early-stage founder/operator; described the business as "pretty much just me").
- MarketerHire AI Assistant — Ran the intro call. Meeting hosted under raaja@marketerhire.com.
No other participants were mentioned. Jackie confirmed she would work with the matched Marketer directly with no additional team member coordinating.
Budget budget.md
Budget
MarketerHire estimate: "Engagements typically run around 10 to 12,000 a month. All in, that covers the marketer's rate plus us, no separate fees." Because the scope is light/focused, the assistant said Jackie "would likely land toward the lower end of that range" and later gave a directional figure of "roughly 10,000 a month. All in."
Client's stated budget: When asked what monthly budget she was working with, Jackie said "It varies." She did not commit to a specific number but confirmed the ~$10K figure: "Yes, feels right." She earlier confirmed the $10-12K range was in line with expectations ("Yes").
Fee structure: All-in pricing, no separate fees or recruiting fees. The assistant noted "the stronger the budget within that range, the more senior the specialists who will want the role."
Timeline timeline.md
Timeline
Client urgency: When asked how soon she wanted someone started, Jackie said "Pretty soon." The assistant noted "things are moving fast on your end."
MarketerHire process timing:
- Matching begins right away, typically within ~2 business days: "We start matching right away, usually within about two business days."
- Marketer bio sent for review, then agreement signing and two-week trial kickoff.
- "The whole thing is often wrapped up within about a week."
Success horizon: Success in the first 60-90 days would be defined by "Completing deliverables" (brand guide, verbal identity).
Decisions decisions.md
Decisions
Recommended solution accepted: The assistant recommended a brand Marketer for the focused brand-identity scope, and Jackie proceeded.
Pricing acknowledged: Jackie confirmed the ~$10-12K/month range and the ~$10K directional figure both worked ("Yes" / "Yes, feels right.").
Agreed next steps: MarketerHire will begin matching immediately, send a Marketer bio for review, then move to signing and a two-week refundable trial. A recap and next-steps email will follow using contact details already on file.
No agreement was signed on the call; the decision was to move into the matching phase.
Open Questions open-questions.md
Open Questions
- Exact budget: Jackie said her monthly budget "varies" and never committed to a firm number, though she agreed ~$10K "feels right."
- Precise start date: Stated only as "Pretty soon" — no specific date confirmed.
- Other options under evaluation: Jackie said she is exploring "A few other options," but these were not named or detailed.
When asked if anything else was on her mind before wrapping, Jackie said "No, that's it." No further outstanding questions were raised on the call.
Competitors competitors.md
Competitors
When asked whether MarketerHire was the main avenue she was exploring or if she was looking at alternatives, Jackie replied "A few other options." She did not name any specific competitors, agencies, or platforms. The assistant did not probe further.
No specific competing vendors identified.
Objections objections.md
Objections
None mentioned. Jackie did not raise any objections on price, terms, timing, or fit. She confirmed the pricing range was in line with expectations and that ~$10K/month "feels right." When asked if anything else was on her mind, she replied "No, that's it."
The only mild uncertainty was that she is evaluating "a few other options," but this was not framed as an objection.
Tools Mentioned tools-mentioned.md
Tools Mentioned
None mentioned. No marketing tools, martech platforms, analytics, or software were discussed. The conversation focused on brand deliverables (brand guide, verbal identity framework) rather than channel tooling. Channels such as paid social, content, and SEO were referenced only as examples of work Jackie is *not* pursuing right now.
Related Deals related-deals.md
Related Deals
None mentioned. This is a brand-new marketing function for BeWell Brands, not a replacement for a prior contractor, agency, or employee. Jackie confirmed there was no existing in-house support or agency in place. No prior or parallel MarketerHire engagements were referenced.
(Associated CRM record: Deal ID 62315295612, "Voice Agent - Jackie Anzaroot.")
Case Study Shortlist case-study-shortlist.md
Case Study Shortlist
No case studies were requested by Jackie or provided by MarketerHire. As general credibility proof, the assistant cited example talent on the platform: "people like the former head of paid search at Airbnb or the former CMO of Upwork freelancing on the platform." These are talent examples rather than customer case studies.
For follow-up, brand-identity case studies for early-stage consumer/supplement or wellness brands would be most relevant to this engagement.

Top Matches 5
#1 Jared Rosenberg score 87 passes hard
jared@brandformity.co
Jared is a near-ideal fit for this foundational brand identity role. He is a dedicated brand strategist with 10+ years building brand identities from scratch for early-stage and pre-launch consumer brands, with repeated evidence of exactly the two core deliverables: polished brand guides/guidelines and verbal identity frameworks (voice, story, messaging). He works directly with founders in an accelerated, collaborative process and has directly relevant wellness/supplement/health adjacency (Elly Health chronic disease app, Habit Money behavioral-psych finance app, supplements listed in subindustries). The only soft concern is his stated $65/hr rate, which is well below the role's ~$11k/month retainer band — but rate is a soft preference and not a hard requirement here.
Why surfaced: I'm a brand strategist who combines data and storytelling to build identities... From pre-launch startups to $10M+ brands, I help consumer and lifestyle companies create brand guidelines, messaging frameworks, and visual systems.

#2 Mike Litwin score 80 passes hard
mikedlitwin@gmail.com
Mike Litwin is a senior brand/CMO-level marketer with 20+ years of experience and direct, recent proof of building brand identity from scratch. His OneCompress engagement is a near-exact analog for this role: developing archetype, positioning platform, tone of voice, and visual direction from the ground up and delivering a complete brand identity deck. He has repeated brand-building work across consumer/DTC brands (CLMD skincare, Bio Hazard, Tushy) and adjacent wellness/personal-care context. The main risks are that he operates primarily at the CMO/strategy level (some engagements skew to broad marketing leadership rather than hands-on brand-guide craft) and his stated $85/hr rate implies a lower price point than the target retainer, though that is a soft consideration.
Why surfaced: Developed the brand strategy from the ground up: archetype, positioning platform, tone of voice, and visual direction... Delivered as a complete brand identity deck.

#3 Cori Morris score 79 passes hard
corisuemorris@gmail.com
Cori is a 3X founder and fractional CMO with deep brand-launch experience across early-stage DTC/consumer brands in wellness, healthcare, beauty, and food. She has personally built brand identity from scratch (Farm Cut Meals: name, tagline, logo, brand architecture; Usual Wines and Curex brand launches), and lists Brand strategy, Brand positioning, Brand tone/voice, Brand values, and Copywriting among core skills — which map directly to the verbal identity and brand guide deliverables. The main caution is that her recent trajectory (VP/CMO roles) leans toward omnichannel growth, performance, lifecycle, and team/agency management, and her brand-guide skill is listed as 'Directing brand book / guide' and 'Visual Brand management (not direct design)' — suggesting a director/advisory posture rather than hands-on IC production. Strong wellness/supplement adjacency (WTHN acupressure + supplements, Extension Health peptides, Curex allergy) makes her industry fit excellent.
Why surfaced: 3X founder and fractional CMO specializing in brand strategy, healthcare, wellness, beauty, and tech for early-stage startups... previous experience leading brand and growth strategy for Curex, Havenly, UrbanStems, Usual Wines, and WeWork.

#4 Tom Alan Briggs score 79 passes hard
tom@helloepigraph.com
Tom is a senior brand strategist (20+ years) whose recent work is almost entirely foundational brand identity for early-stage and consumer brands. Multiple engagements delivered brand standards guides and articulated brand position, voice, and target personas — directly matching this role's brand guide and verbal identity deliverables. He works independently with founders, has DTC/CPG and health-and-wellness adjacency (Cornaby's food/beverage DTC), and specializes in the exact foundational brand work requested. Main caveats: no explicit mental-wellness supplement experience (only preferred), profile shows availability: false, and stated rate ($50/hr) is far below the retainer budget, which raises a fit-clarification flag but is a soft preference.
Why surfaced: Drafted and refined a brand standards guide synthesizing strategic vision and clarifying creative execution... resulted in 30X greater clarity and consistency; standards guide resulted in greater clarity on brand position, voice, target personas.

#5 Ryan Conklin score 76 passes hard
theimagineer83@gmail.com
Ryan is a multidisciplinary Creative Director / Brand Marketer with repeated, hands-on experience building brand identity from scratch for early-stage startups. He has personally developed brand voice strategy with copy pillars, designed logos and visual guidelines (OppJar), built comprehensive brand identity and design systems from the ground up (Hybrid Space), and worked at a cannabis wellness company (Mercy Wellness). His skills list explicitly includes brand positioning, brand strategy, brand tone/voice, brand values, directing brand book/guide, copywriting, and new brand launch — directly on point for the two core deliverables. The main gaps are that his profile skews heavily toward visual/graphic design and UX, and his verbal identity evidence, while present, is described more briefly than his design work. His rate ($65/hr) sits well within the retainer budget. Wellness/supplement adjacency exists via Mercy Wellness (cannabis wellness dispensary) and MyDailyChoice (health/wellness/CBD brands), though not a mental-wellness supplement brand specifically.
Why surfaced: I was hired to help them name their new product, put together their brand identity. I wrote the brand voice strategy with copy pillars to follow, designed their logo and brand visual guidelines.

Bench Candidates 5
#6 Stacy Thal score 79 passes hard
writemestacy@gmail.com
Stacy Thal is a senior brand strategist and creative director whose profile maps very tightly to this foundational brand identity role. She has repeatedly built brand foundations from scratch for early-stage and DTC/consumer brands (Goode Health, MYXfitness, Endex), owns verbal identity work (voice and tone at Yahoo and Pottery Barn), and lists 'Directing brand book / guide' as a core skill. Her Goode Health engagement — a startup wellness/health-tech brand where she defined the brand's 'voice, values, and messaging' and 'high-level messaging' — is nearly a direct analog to BeWell Brands. The main gap is that some deliverable work is described as 'directing' rather than personally producing, and the wellness/supplement adjacency is health-tech rather than supplements specifically.
Why surfaced: Stacy developed a robust brand strategy... defining the brand's voice, values, and messaging — a near-exact match for BeWell's brand guide and verbal identity needs.
Hard pass/partial/fail: 0/0/0 - Important pass/partial/fail: 0/0/0
#7 Sorrina Beecher score 76 passes hard
sorrina.bee@thewhiteagency.co
Sorrina is a 20+ year brand/content strategist and writer with concrete brand-building experience: she led brand repositioning and created brand guidelines at Upfront Healthcare, facilitated a verbal brand refresh (positioning, messaging, website) for Joy Engine, and developed brand positioning frameworks across multiple engagements. Her verbal identity and messaging chops are strong and well-evidenced, and she has relevant health/wellness-adjacent and supplements industry exposure. Main gaps: much of her brand-guide work is described as 'directing' rather than sole authorship of a full polished brand guide, and her deepest work skews content/PR/thought-leadership rather than pure foundational brand identity systems. Still a credible, senior, operator-level fit for a solo-founder early-stage engagement.
Why surfaced: "Facilitated a verbal brand refresh, including positioning, messaging, and a new website" and "Created Brand Guidelines to ensure brand story and messaging alignment" — verbal identity and brand-guide work are directly in her wheelhouse.
Hard pass/partial/fail: 0/0/0 - Important pass/partial/fail: 0/0/0
#8 Joel Loncka score 76 passes hard
joel.loncka@gmail.com
Joel is a dedicated brand strategist whose entire career centers on foundational brand work — brand positioning, brand strategy, tone/voice, brand values, complete rebrands, and directing brand books/guides. He has repeatedly launched brands from scratch (Hotel Celare, Ascendion full rebrand from new name through launch, MADE Renovation) at agency-caliber firms (Superunion/Design Bridge). This is a strong match for a foundational brand identity engagement built around a brand guide and verbal identity framework. Main gaps: no direct supplement/mental wellness or DTC supplement experience (his consumer work is hotels, coffee, aviation, apps/ecommerce), and his stated $70/hr rate sits well below the role's ~$11k/month retainer band, though that is a soft preference here.
Why surfaced: Brand strategist with repeated ground-up brand launches and brand-guide/verbal-identity ownership — squarely the foundational brand specialist this early-stage engagement needs.
Hard pass/partial/fail: 0/0/0 - Important pass/partial/fail: 0/0/0
#9 Jorie Walsdorf score 76 passes hard
jorie.walsdorf@gmail.com
Jorie is a senior brand and product marketer with repeated experience building brand identity from the ground up for early-stage companies, including developing a comprehensive brand book, personas, positioning, and messaging. She has strong verbal identity/messaging chops (product copy, communication hierarchy, brand book) and consistent solo/founder-facing engagements (fractional CMO at Loss, Red Antler working alongside founders). Health-tech exposure (Clover Health, Revival Health) is adjacent to the mental wellness supplement space, though she lacks direct supplement/DTC consumer brand proof. Her preferred rate ($100/hr) fits well within budget, but availability is currently flagged false.
Why surfaced: Business growth lead for a portfolio of early-to-mid stage companies seeking brand identity development or reinvention... working alongside founders.

#10 Deirdre Moynihan score 75 passes hard

Deirdre is a classified Brand Marketer with a deep, specialized brand-strategy skill set (brand positioning, brand values, brand tone/voice, new brand launch, complete rebrand, directing brand book/guide) and a strong CPG/wellness pedigree (Kellogg's Special K, Del Monte, certified Health Coach). This aligns squarely with BeWell Brands' need for foundational brand identity, a brand guide, and a verbal identity framework for an early-stage mental wellness supplement brand. Her core caveats: the profile leans on 'directing' brand books rather than hands-on building, recent engagements are short agency stints with thin outcome detail, and her stated $70/hr preference sits well below the retainer band (a soft factor). Overall a strong, on-lane brand specialist with mild uncertainty on hands-on execution depth.
Why surfaced: A specialized brand strategist with genuine CPG/wellness brand-building pedigree — exactly the foundational brand lane BeWell needs, with only mild questions about hands-on delivery vs. direction.
