Christopher Lemos
Founder & Growth Strategist
For more than 26 years, Christopher has helped founder-led and category-leading companies strengthen their positioning, accelerate growth, and turn marketing into a business advantage. Across 260+ brand engagements, he’s supported organizations ranging from emerging growth companies to globally recognized brands including Airbnb, Meta, Fender, Delta, DraftKings, Major League Baseball, and the National Hockey League.
Why OutSwarm
Christopher founded OutSwarm after seeing the same challenge repeat itself: talented teams, capable agencies, and significant marketing investments working hard, but rarely operating as one system.
Strategy lived in one place. Execution in another. Priorities shifted. Opportunities were missed. Growth became harder than it needed to be.
OutSwarm was built to provide founder-led and growth-stage companies with the operating layer that connects strategy, execution, accountability, and momentum.
Whether clients need strategic advisory support, embedded leadership, expert execution, or a fully outsourced marketing function, OutSwarm assembles the right expertise around the needs of the business.
The result is a team that helps companies grow with greater clarity, consistency, confidence, and accountability.

Why OutSwarm
After years of working inside organizations of every size, Christopher kept seeing the same problem. Companies didn’t lack agencies, freelancers, ideas, or marketing activity. They lacked experienced leadership capable of bringing it all together.
Too often, talented people were working hard but in different directions. Priorities shifted. Opportunities were missed. Growth became harder than it needed to be.
OutSwarm was built to provide founder-led and growth-stage companies with the operating layer that connects strategy, execution, accountability, and momentum. The goal isn’t more marketing. It’s helping good companies grow faster with greater clarity and confidence.

Founder & Growth Strategist
Chris has spent more than 25 years helping companies navigate growth, strengthen their market position, and turn marketing into a business advantage. Across 250+ brand engagements, he’s worked with founder-led companies, emerging growth brands, and globally recognized organizations including Airbnb, Meta, Fender, Delta, DraftKings, Major League Baseball, and the National Hockey League. His expertise spans growth strategy, positioning, demand generation, content, analytics, and executive leadership, helping companies connect marketing decisions directly to business outcomes.
Why OutSwarm
After years of working with companies of every size, Chris noticed the same pattern. Organizations rarely lacked talent, ideas, agencies, or marketing activity. What they often lacked was experienced leadership capable of bringing those efforts together and ensuring they were aligned around a common objective.
OutSwarm was built to fill that gap. Rather than functioning as another agency, the company serves as a growth operating layer—helping teams focus, prioritize, and execute with greater clarity and accountability. The goal isn’t more marketing. It’s helping good companies grow faster and make better decisions.

“Chris brought far more than marketing expertise to the table. He became a trusted advisor who helped us think through growth opportunities, partnerships, positioning, content strategy, client acquisition, and long-term business decisions. His impact was felt across nearly every area of the business.”
Elizabeth Wheeler
Founder & CEO, Launch Physical Therapy
“Most agencies focus on campaigns. They focused on helping the business grow. From marketing performance and customer acquisition to team development, strategic planning, and growth initiatives, they consistently helped us make better decisions and move faster. That’s why they’ve remained a trusted partner across multiple companies.”
Joe Tunney
President & CEO, American Design & Build + American Sentry Solar
“Over the years, Chris became far more than a marketing advisor. He was a trusted sounding board across growth strategy, operations, talent, product development, competitive positioning, and leadership decisions. His ability to connect dots across the business and identify opportunities before they become obvious created value well beyond marketing.”
