[ Senior brand & marketing operator ]

I build growth systems for brands where the usual playbook breaks.

16+ years across prestige beauty, cannabis, wellness, and multi-location retail. I lead the strategy, build the system, and stay close enough to the work to make sure it ships.

Why brands call

Premium brands keep hitting the same three walls.

Most in regulated or restricted categories, where the default playbook is off the table.

01

There's no one senior running it

You're going to market, pushing to the next level, or stuck in a rut - and nobody owns the whole picture.

02

The team is stretched thin

You need senior marketing judgment and someone to actually run it - not another vendor to manage on top of everything else.

03

The channels changed under you

Meta and Google lock regulated categories out, and when a customer asks AI what to buy, most brands aren't in the answer.

That's the room I'm built for.
In our industry, marketing requires a deep understanding of compliance and regulatory standards. Bri knows those boundaries extremely well, but she has never let them limit her creativity. She consistently finds ways to make our brand stand out while keeping us on the right side of the rules.

The customer journey changed

People don't Google a category any more. They ask AI what to buy, where to go, and who to trust.

Being in the answer is the start, not the finish. Here's the whole arc.

01
Discovery
Get recommended.
02
Authority
Earn the trust behind it.
03
Conversion
Turn the demand into revenue.
04
Ownership
Keep the customer, so it compounds.
I build all four.

Start small. Start specific.

Not every engagement needs a retainer. I take projects and hourly work too - a single campaign, a system to stand up, one thing to unblock. Pick a lane below, or just tell me what you're stuck on and we'll scope it to fit.

About

An operator and builder - I ship, not just advise.

Across sixteen-plus years I've built brands in prestige beauty and beyond - L'Oréal, Kiehl's, Charlotte Tilbury, Living Proof, Meaningful Beauty - and run campaigns with the founders and talent who shape culture: Drew Barrymore, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cindy Crawford, John Legend, Lil Nas X. I built and ran a 1,400+ influencer network and produced a brand's solo debut at the Cannes Film Festival for Dessange Paris.

Then I went operator. Seven retail locations in under two years with a team of five - branding, marketing, and store design end to end - and loyalty programs taken from zero to record-breaking. Today HNY-B is the engine: fractional leadership and growth systems for brands in complex, regulated markets - and the ventures are where I run that same playbook for myself. The full story →

Ricky Figueroa · VP of Brand Engagement & Business Development
Working with Brianne Dezzutti from HNY-B Consulting was a great experience. She helped me build out a dispensary brand, but her value went far beyond what I would expect from a typical marketing professional. Brianne brought a wealth of knowledge about the cannabis industry, technology, branding, and business strategy, which allowed her to really understand what I needed from an owner's perspective.
Kevin Afonso · President, Aim High NY, Co · HNY-B Consulting client
Bri worked with me on Luteal Health and was one of the best decisions I made for the business. She developed insights that genuinely informed our creative thinking and brand direction, and she played a central role in our new business and B2B pitch development. Strategic, practical, and easy to work with. I'd bring her in again without hesitation.
