Angela Bailey, Fractional CMO for CPG and food & beverage brands, hands-on marketing consu

Strategy that moves. Execution that delivers.

Hands-on marketing leadership for CPG brands ready to scale. From brand positioning to paid media to retail strategy, I bring both the strategic thinking and the roll-up-your-sleeves work.

20+ years building brands at Mattel, Quiksilver, Barnana, Netflix, and more.

CPG & Food/Beverage Marketing Leadership

You built something worth buying. Now build the marketing to match.

Your product is ready. But without senior marketing leadership who actually does the work, every decision feels like a guess. Agencies deliver tactics. Consultants deliver decks. You need someone who delivers results.

Who I serve

Focused expertise for critical moments

Approach

A proven framework

Refined across 50+ brand engagements. No cookie-cutter playbooks. A structured process adapted to your unique challenges, with hands-on execution at every phase.

Clarity

Understand the foundation

Deep immersion into your brand, market, and competitive landscape. I establish where you are, where you want to go, and what's standing in the way. No assumptions. Just insights.

Strategy

Chart the course

A comprehensive marketing roadmap built on insights, not guesses. Brand positioning, go-to-market plan, channel strategy, measurable goals, and a realistic path to get there.

Momentum

Execute and scale

This is where most consultants disappear. I stay to execute. Paid media, partnerships, retail strategy, social media, campaign launches. I work alongside your team to implement, optimize, and build lasting capacity.

I’m the strategist and creative behind Arc & Beam. After 20+ years working across global brands and scrappy startups I launched Arc & Beam to support founders who want clarity, consistency, and smart execution across every touchpoint.

I've worked with founders at every stage. From leading concept development and consumer validation for pre-revenue beverage startups to driving 300% digital engagement growth and 8X store locator increases for brands on Whole Foods and Sprouts shelves. From managing CPG campaigns for Netflix's Stranger Things collaboration to building go-to-market strategies for women-led cocktail brands and kombucha startups.

My background spans global powerhouses (Mattel, Quiksilver, Roxy) and emerging CPG brands (Barnana, WOLO Protein Bar, Miss Jones Baking, Mixed-Up Cocktails). I bring both strategic thinking and roll-up-your-sleeves execution.

Now, as a Fractional CMO, I partner with growth-stage companies to bring enterprise-level marketing strategy AND the hands-on work to make it happen. Ideal for early-stage teams looking to scale with focus, creativity, and impact.
