Anthony Neal Macri is a growth strategist, creative director, and user-acquisition lead who has spent the past decade and a half helping startups and consumer brands stop “marketing loudly” and start scaling intentionally. He blends performance marketing with narrative craft — part data scientist, part storyteller, part “I can fix that funnel” therapist. Before advising founders, he cut his teeth building acquisition engines inside high-pressure, high-competition verticals where every click had to justify its existence. His campaigns have helped turn early-stage products into seven-figure revenue engines, and he has led teams across paid growth, lifecycle, retention, conversion optimisation, and brand positioning — often at the same time, because startups don’t believe in neat job descriptions. In parallel with his tech and growth work, Macri serves as Creative & Marketing Director for Calabria Food Fest, a global-audience cultural festival in Southern Italy that pairs food, entertainment, and celebrity partnerships with tourism development. He oversees creative identity, international positioning, brand storytelling, and digital promotion — essentially: making sure the world realises Calabria is not just a location on a map, but a lifestyle with good espresso. He’s known for mixing strategy with humour (and occasionally espresso-fuelled honesty). Journalists tap him for commentary on what really drives user behaviour, why “growth hacking” died the day privacy laws woke up, and how brands can build audiences without surrendering their dignity to clickbait. When he isn’t planning acquisition funnels or festival run-of-show campaigns, he mentors early-stage founders and doomscrolls new ad platforms so you don’t have to.

My mission is to build businesses and organizations in a Christ-honoring way, and to share ideas and insights with other business leaders who want more freedom and flexibility in life. I do this through events, podcasts, coaching, webinars, and workshops, where I teach proven strategies and best practices for growing and scaling a successful business. I also support my team at the agency, and enjoy spending time with my family and my faith community.

It's hard to write your bio without making the whole thing a humblebrag, but I'll do my best. Most people wouldn't peg me for a marketing guy - probably because my 6'2" 225lb frame makes me look like a 3rd string defensive lineman. Fortunately, I'm a much better marketer than looks would tell. In the past 7 years, I've consulted, managed, and overseen hundreds of client accounts and millions of dollars in ad spend. More importantly, I've been able to pass my knowledge on to our team here at Linear, and at this point, many of them have surpassed me in both education and skill. As a team, they've continually improved Linear's service offerings, built world-class processes, and amassed dozens of client success stories.At Linear, we love to partner with companies that want to grow but lack the bandwidth or knowledge to do so.Wanna learn more about our services?
