About The Brand Standard
Meet Chief Marketing Officer Mike Riley
Marketing doesn't grow a business on its own. Strategy does.
For more than 20 years, I've helped businesses, nonprofits, and growing organizations increase revenue, strengthen their brands, and uncover new opportunities by aligning sales, marketing, technology, and relationships around a common goal.
My career has spanned executive leadership, business development, strategic marketing, and community engagement, giving me a practical perspective that's rooted in business—not just creative ideas. I understand what it's like to be accountable for growth, budgets, and results.
That's why I founded The Brand Standard Group.
Rather than functioning as another marketing agency, I serve as a strategic partner to organizations that need executive-level marketing leadership without the cost of a full-time Chief Marketing Officer. Whether I'm developing a growth strategy, leading marketing initiatives, building a digital presence, or helping organizations leverage AI, every recommendation is designed to move the business forward.
At the end of the day, my mission is simple: help organizations make smarter marketing decisions, build stronger brands, and create sustainable growth through strategy, accountability, and meaningful relationships.
