Off The Drawing Board into Reality

CL Palmer is part creative alchemist and also known as the "Bottleneck Bully", and is fully dedicated to making your big ideas happen. Over 1,500 businesses in 60 countries have trusted him to turn branding, marketing, and content daydreams into reality. Since 2013, he’s been publishing, producing, and perfecting podcasts, YouTube channels, and social content, sometimes all at once, usually with coffee in hand. If your team or creative vision has ever been stuck, CL shows up with a metaphorical plunger and gets things moving again.

Bridging Creativity and Technology

Certified in IT and fluent in cloud-speak. While some only plug the tech in, CL builds it, supports it, and occasionally sweet-talks it into behaving. From designing marketing tech stacks to inventing custom solutions, CL bridges the gap between creative chaos and operational order. If your team needs alignment across departments, he’s your translator, mediator, and secret weapon rolled into one.

Yes, he teaches too. CL has led workshops on AWS Cloud Fundamentals and Digital Marketing for grown-ups who’d rather be anywhere but a classroom. Somehow, he keeps them laughing, learning, and leaving with tools they’ll actually use.

Championing Multi-Passionate Creatives

A multi-passionate, multihyphenate creative himself, CL’s resume reads like a game of creative Mad Libs: songwriter, jingle writer, author (The Aligned Creative and Create Scale Repeat), podcaster, filmmaker, copywriter, and, when the mood strikes, a chef. He’s made it his mission to help fellow multi-talented creatives get clear on their vision, prioritize which projects to tackle, save for later, or let go with love.

Whether you’re running a startup, leading a team, or flying solo, CL specializes in taking what you’ve got and scaling it for today and tomorrow. He gets your vision, brings it to life, and makes sure it stays true to you.

Tech-savvy and content-obsessed, CL designs workflows that actually work. He sorts real needs from imaginary ones, makes processes user-friendly for everyone, and champions a work-life balance where ‘balance’ isn’t just a buzzword but built into the system.
