About Liane Caruso
Liane has a depth of experience working primarily in franchise marketing over the last 14 years. She launched her career in franchising with her own agency focusing on local marketing programs for franchise brands. After the agency was acquired, she worked with franchise brands to build local digital marketing campaigns and franchise development programs through integrated digital marketing programs and public relations tactics with well-known, reputable franchise suppliers.
In 2020, She built a franchise marketing consultancy called helloCMO, offering fractional CMO or outsourced CMO engagements specifically for franchise brands and suppliers. It’s an alternative solution that provides brands access to C-suite-level knowledge, expertise, and franchise marketing experience, but at a fraction of the cost. She works with an organization’s existing marketing department to develop strategic plans and execute campaigns that deliver consumer and franchise development results.
Earlier this year, she launched Hello Masterminds for C-suite franchise marketers. And most recently, she partnered with Michael Hyam to create Franchise Assembly, a franchise sales and development education platform. They’re hosting their first event: Let’s Grow! in February 4-6, 2024 in Dallas.
