About

East Lansing, MI

Matthew
Janette

Founder & Principal, Janettix

A decade leading integrated campaigns across agency and in-house teams — now running a consultancy that builds the systems most consultancies only advise on.

The short version

I started on the agency side, managing national brand campaigns at one of the largest independent agencies in the country. I moved into growth leadership — cross-functional teams across data, creative, paid, and strategy in more than fifteen countries — and then into a marketing director role inside a startup, where I learned what it costs when the measurement layer does not exist.

Along the way the thing I got known for stopped being campaigns and started being the infrastructure underneath them: the tracking, the reporting frameworks, the systems that let a small team behave like a large one.

Since 2023 that has been Janettix. What changed over the last two years is the tooling. Research, reporting, catalogue work, and content production now run through agent systems I build and govern myself — which is why one person carries fifteen accounts without the quality falling over, and why the AI operations line exists as a service rather than as a talking point.

Based in East Lansing, Michigan, working remotely across the US. Trilingual in English, Arabic, and Spanish. B.A. in International Studies with a focus on global economics from The Ohio State University.

How I work

01

The person who sells it builds it

The most common complaint about agencies is that senior people win the work and junior people deliver it. A solo practice cannot do that. It is structural, not a promise.

02

Technical depth is the differentiator

Most marketing consultants stop at the brief. This one writes the tracking, ships the site, builds the agent, and deploys it. Strategy that cannot be implemented is an opinion.

03

Numbers survive the follow-up question

Every figure recomputed fresh, with its denominator stated and its real date window. Organic and paid never blended into one lift number. Client work has to survive a CEO asking how it was calculated.

04

Bracket the gap, never fill it

When a specific number is not known, the copy says so instead of reaching for a plausible one. There are brackets on this very site where the evidence is not in yet.
