About Auspicious


Auspicious was founded by Aaron Douglas — a fractional CMO with 20+ years across marketing strategy, agency operations, and business ownership. His background in psychology (B.S., University of Oregon; M.A., Christian Theological Seminary) gives him a rare ability to diagnose not just what’s broken in an organization’s marketing, but why. Before Auspicious, he ran an organic search agency for 15 years and built a consumer business from the ground up. The person doing the strategy is the person doing the work.
