Channel M: A Business Consultancy Built to Connect the Dots

👋🏼, I’m Jeff Mard, Founder of Channel M.

After 25 years inside marketing agencies, I launched Channel M in 2022 with a simple belief: businesses don’t fail because of a lack of ambition… they struggle because they lack the right connections, clarity, and support systems.

Channel M helps businesses connect with what they need most:

  • The right strategic partners

  • The right service providers

  • The right pathways to growth

Our work is grounded in a hands-on, relationship-first approach. We do the hard work of vetting, qualifying, and aligning best-in-class resources with real business needs, so founders can move faster, with confidence.

Our model is powered by continuous learning. We spend time attending industry events, and having real conversations with operators, investors, and builders. Those insights become practical guidance we bring back to our clients.

We also partner closely with independent agencies and specialists who share our values: deep category expertise, proven capabilities, and true independence, so small businesses get enterprise-quality support without enterprise bureaucracy.

Outside of work, I’m a husband, a dad to two incredible young adults, and a proud pet parent to a fur baby who somehow claims most of the bed.
