A studio of one. For now.

Marketing built for organizations that mean something.

I'm Diana Pinedo Rodriguez, a 15-year marketing leader, first-gen Latina, and millennial mom helping organizations win in culture and business. Selectively taking on partners who care about the work as much as the outcome.

01. The work

Strategy that respects the budget and the brief.

I work with a small number of organizations each year on the marketing problems that actually move things. Positioning, content strategy, paid acquisition, email, and the messy middle between brand and growth.

Most of my clients come from referrals. If we're a fit, you'll know within one conversation.

What I'm known for
Building integrated marketing engines that double audience growth in under a year. Email programs that more than double industry open-rate benchmarks. Multicultural campaigns recognized by the brand and ad industry's top awards bodies.
How I work
As a fractional or embedded leader, with the operational rigor of an in-house head of marketing and the speed of an independent. Lean teams. AI-augmented systems. No bloat, no agency overhead, no fluff.
02. Capabilities

What I do, plainly.

Brand and content strategy

Positioning, narrative architecture, editorial systems, and thought-leadership programs that translate complex ideas into stories audiences actually care about.

Demand and lifecycle

Email, paid social, and integrated funnels that compound. Built for organizations where every dollar is accountable, not for spray-and-pray budgets.

Multicultural marketing

Strategy that respects the audience instead of pandering to them. Award-recognized campaign work and a track record across communities, not just one.

AI-augmented marketing ops

A modern stack that lets a team of one or two ship like a team of six. Practical systems, not hype, with a clear point of view on what AI is good for and what it isn't.

Ways to work together

Three doors. Pick the one that fits.

Most engagements start with a 30-minute conversation. If we're a fit, you'll know. If we're not, I'll point you toward someone who is.

01. Lead

Fractional marketing leadership

For organizations that need senior leadership without the full-time hire.

Embedded as your head of marketing or fractional CMO. Strategy, team direction, vendor management, and the in-the-room judgment that turns scattered effort into compounding growth.

Best for

Series A to C companies, established nonprofits, education and healthcare organizations between $2M and $50M.

Engagement

Monthly retainer. Six-month minimum. Two to four clients at any time.

03. Speak

Speaking and workshops

For audiences who need real talk from someone who's actually building it.

Keynotes, panels, fireside chats, and hands-on workshops on multicultural marketing, AI for lean teams, building in public as a first-gen founder, and what it takes to build a career outside the corporate ladder.

Best for

Universities, conferences, professional associations, brand events, and corporate ERG programs.

Engagement

Single events or full-day workshops. In-person and virtual. Inquire for fee structure.

03. Speaking

For the next generation of first-gen marketers and founders.

I speak at universities, Latino professional associations, K-12 networks, fintech and education events, and marketer development programs about what it actually takes to build a career and a brand as the first one in your family to do it.

Originally built as Ms. Informed Latina, a chapter that's now part of the bigger story.

Writing on marketing, motherhood, and the in-between.

Most of my writing right now lives on LinkedIn — that's where I share the most in real time.
