Trina Claggett
Principle & Founder, The C3 Brand
As a former Microsoft executive turned independent growth strategist, I’ve built a 20-year career at the intersection of strategy, digital marketing, and AI. As an industry marketing leader and AI Ambassador at Microsoft, I shaped go-to-market strategy for one of the world's most closely watched sectors: Healthcare AI, where innovation moves fast and trust has to be earned.
My brand experience includes work alongside Microsoft, Cisco, Genesys, Epic, and SpinSci, to nonprofit leadership at Susan G. Komen Mo and Bayer YMCA, giving me a rare vantage point.
That experience sits at the core of everything we do now.
Today, I lead fractional CMO, brand strategy, and AI activation for startups, nonprofits, and SMB organizations. We specialize in identifying “friction” and the AI adoption opportunities that actually move the needle. We help build strategic marketing systems that eliminate friction and translate enterprise-grade thinking into growth strategies that fit our clients’ individual needs.
At The C3 Brand, we know what world-class marketing looks like at enterprise scale, and we know how to build it for organizations that don't have an enterprise budget.
