Carla Cook

I’m a brand and content marketing professional with 25+ years experience building and evangelizing cutting-edge technologies. I like to work with forward-thinking organizations that lead with creativity and seek to leverage technology for the benefit of humanity.

 

I have a deep well of knowledge when it comes to crafting and disseminating effective, compelling content with a memorable voice, as well as the channels, strategies, and metrics through which to disperse it. I'm a thoughtful, measured strategist on digital media, sales enablement, and partner programs. An accomplished writer, I'm also skilled at helping others write, shaping ideas and narratives while maintaining their original voice.

​

In my current role as Senior Director of Content at argodesign, I manage the content strategy, direction, tone, and execution across argo's 4 studios. Formerly a director of communications and business development at The Daily Dot and emerging technology analyst at The Guidewire Group, I’ve also founded 3 companies, served widely as a presenter, event host, and moderator, and had the distinction of serving as publicist to Linus Torvalds, inventor of the Linux operating system. 

 

In my spare time, I write a weekly media newsletter, Three Things, recommending film, TV, and books both low and highbrow. I finished in the top 10% of over 700 contestants at the American Crossword Puzzle tournament in 2024. And I'm a 15-year resident of Austin, TX, who definitely wants you to stop moving here.
