Consultative Sales
I sell as a partner, not a vendor — earning trust with Fortune 500 CEOs and C-suite leaders by understanding the real problem before pitching the solution.
Head of Growth · Thought Marketing Agency
I help leaders turn real expertise into authority — through thought leadership and content that compounds.
Head of Growth at Thought Marketing Agency, focused on the content and search strategies that decide who gets found — and who gets believed.
About
I'm Justin Dillingham, Head of Growth at Thought Marketing Agency — with a career built in sales leadership and online reputation management.
My foundation is consultative selling. I've partnered directly with Fortune 500 CEOs and countless C-suite executives, and I think of myself as a partner to every leader and organization I speak with — never a vendor. The best salespeople are advisors first.
Today my focus is thought-leadership content marketing: building authority that compounds. As search shifts toward AI-driven answers, the credible voices win. I help leaders become those voices.
I care about strategy that's honest, durable, and measurable — work that earns attention rather than buying it.
What I do
The disciplines I bring to every partnership — from the first sales conversation to long-term growth.
I sell as a partner, not a vendor — earning trust with Fortune 500 CEOs and C-suite leaders by understanding the real problem before pitching the solution.
Turning real expertise into content that builds authority and compounds — the kind of voice AI search surfaces and audiences remember.
Aligning brand, content, and sales into a system that drives measurable, durable growth — not vanity metrics.
Shaping how people, brands, and executives are found and perceived across search — proactively, not just in a crisis.
Experience
Before growth and content, I built my career in sales leadership — and I still lead with a consultative mindset: a partner to every leader and organization I work with, never a vendor.
Leading growth strategy with a focus on thought-leadership content marketing — helping clients build authority that performs in modern, AI-driven search.
Built and led high-performing sales teams at one of the industry's leading reputation firms — partnering directly with Fortune 500 CEOs and C-suite executives. Closed and grew accounts through a consultative approach: understand the real problem first, then earn the right to solve it.
A decade helping individuals and businesses take control of their digital narrative — the groundwork for everything I do in growth and content today.
