Summary

Need to turn vision into passionate users? Email me: chris@pirillo.com. I've repeatedly proven that I can create passionate communities that directly impact revenue - a skill increasingly valuable as digital advertising effectiveness declines and authentic engagement becomes a competitive advantage. Of course, I also love leaning into product management... if the product is interesting enough. ;) I build revenue-generating communities that can outperform traditional marketing. While competitors struggle with rising CAC, I create self-sustaining audience ecosystems that continuously deliver qualified leads, product feedback, and brand advocacy - all with minimal ongoing investment. While others spend to be seen, I spark communities and conversations that carry your brand. I’ve spent decades turning scrappy ideas into loyal followings—through livestreams, newsletters, events, and on-camera presence that drive real engagement and results. What that means for you: * Faster go-to-market traction without outspending competitors * A self-sustaining content engine that feeds brand awareness * An active, vocal community that becomes your unfair advantage * On-camera credibility that earns trust and turns lurkers into leads If you need someone who knows how to turn attention into action—and do it without wasting time or budget—that’s where I come in. For 30 years, I’ve fueled growth by building communities, not just campaigns. Lately, I've been hosting live webinars that drive real results and repeat business for clients. But here are some highlights from my personal (professional) journey so far: * Bootstrapped my own publishing company (LockerGnome) from zero to a thriving newsletter network with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, all through organic growth and authentic engagement. * Grew a YouTube channel to hundreds of thousands of subscribers and millions of views, transforming live Q&As and unboxings into sustainable revenue. * Launched MakerDeck on Twitch, quickly becoming the top channel in its category and delivering measurable value to sponsors-without paid ads. * Built Gnomedex into a sold-out conference for nine years, earning major media coverage by letting the community shape the agenda. * Established Intel’s Graphics community foundation on Discord, creating a lasting hub for users and advocates for the entirety of Intel. I build audiences that stick, talk, and buy. Need me? Let's go. chris@pirillo.com!
