Diana Felkina

Fractional CMO · Agentic Marketing Consultant · Marketing Leadership

I’m a senior marketing leader with over a decade building brands, growth systems, and go-to-market strategies — scaling user bases into the millions. I take on marketing leadership as a fractional CMO, consultant, or embedded operator. My edge today is agentic marketing: designing the AI systems, workflows, and content engines that let a team ship faster and leaner — and I build the pipelines hands-on, not just direct them. Full-time, part-time, or project-based, I bring both the strategic head and the hands.

What I do best

Building at the frontier: agentic marketing & AI content systems

Over the past two years my main work has been fractional CMO and consultancy — leading marketing strategy and building the agentic AI systems underneath it. I take on engagements that pair senior marketing leadership with hands-on builds: go-to-market, agentic workflows and operations, and content engines that let a team ship faster and leaner.

Agentic workflows with Claude

I design and run autonomous content and marketing agents — research, drafting, distribution, and optimization orchestrated through Claude, Claude Code, and MCP tool integrations.

AI video & image generation

Hyper-realistic, cinematic generative assets built through advanced prompt engineering — controlling lighting, camera, texture, and temporal consistency for high-converting ad creative.

Content engines

One input becomes dozens of channel-ready assets. I build the pipeline — scripting, voice, video, repurposing — as an agent-run production line with quality control at every step.

Trainings, workshops & programs

Deliver AI agentic-workflow trainings and workshops for teams, plus structured personal-branding programs — through NextPersona, my consulting practice.

Open to fractional CMO, consultancy, and project engagements — marketing leadership paired with hands-on agentic workflow & operations builds.

AI-driven philosophy

If your marketing isn’t AI-powered, it’s already behind. I don’t just use AI — I engineer growth with it.

From GTM systems and content automation to funnel optimization and analytics, I build AI-integrated pipelines that help companies do more with less — launching faster, converting smarter, and growing leaner. I lead the shift toward performance-led, automation-first marketing that makes teams sharper and businesses future-proof.
