Kristin Knudson

CMO on the Go helping founders and leaders align their true calling with strategy, marketing, and communication so they can grow with ease instead of hustle and burnout.

I didn’t come into marketing and leadership from the easy road. Years ago, I was a single mom on welfare, starting over after hitting rock bottom. What turned my life around wasn’t just working harder — it was learning how to align who I was with what I wanted to create. That shift took me from selling event tickets over the phone to becoming the Chief Strategy Officer of a national movement and a sought-after Fractional CMO.

Today, I’m the CMO on the Go — a growth strategist and founder of Aligned Agency. I’ve spent 15+ years guiding founders, executives, and brands across wellness, consumer goods, and digital platforms. What makes my work different is how I integrate practical tools like communication frameworks and marketing systems with deeper Universal Laws that show us how energy, presence, and alignment actually drive results.

Podcast hosts trust me because I bring both the lived experience of rebuilding a life and career from the ground up, and the executive expertise of scaling businesses, leading teams, and building strategies that stick. Listeners leave my episodes with a mix of inspiration and clear, actionable tools — and the reassurance that achieving with ease isn’t just possible, it’s repeatable.
