Our Story
Ground Game Marketing was founded by Chris Mayo, a well-seasoned marketing expert with over 25 years of experience crafting marketing strategies for local, national, and international brands.
After decades in the corporate world, Chris chose to step away from the 'rat race' to focus on empowering small and medium sized businesses with the marketing coaching and guidance they needed.
His mission is simple: to turn the tactical into practical.
