Hi, I’m Regan McGregor 👋

I’m a growth marketer who builds, not just recommends. I reverse-engineer how channels actually work and turn them into systems, products and playbooks that scale. When I’m not building, you’ll find me on stages around the world talking search, growth and AI to anyone who’ll listen.

/plan

you are a senior marketer with 100 years of experience. you’ve seen every channel rise and fall, memorised every algorithm update, and you never miss a trend. grow my business. double the revenue by friday. make no mistakes.

There’s No Prompt for That. Good Thing You Have Me.

If only it were that easy. You already know it isn’t, or you wouldn’t be here. There’s no template, no prompt, no competitor strategy you can copy your way to real growth. It comes from hard work and a deep understanding of how a channel actually works.

That’s the part I’m obsessed with. I reverse-engineer the channels businesses grow through, whether that’s search engines, AI platforms, social feeds, or whatever opens up next. You’ve got enough on your plate, so I’ve done the research, run the tests, made the mistakes, and turned what actually works into playbooks you can run.

Channels I’ve Taken Apart, Systems I’ve Built

A quick look at where my tokens get spent. The six I reach for most when I’m turning a channel into a system that scales, whether the job called for them or not.

/programmatic-seo

SEO baked into the product, not bolted on after.

Good SEO isn’t something you sprinkle on at the end. I work with teams to create product-led SEO experiences that attract customers at scale.

/ai-visibility

Content built to be the answer, not buried in the results.

AI cares about one thing, giving its users a great answer. I help businesses create content experiences so helpful it’d be mad for AI systems to leave them out.

/growth-roadmap

Playbooks built to win, not just to look busy.

The best growth never comes off the shelf. I help businesses uncover what makes them different, then turn it into tailored playbooks that build lasting momentum.

/agentic-workflows

AI systems that earn their keep, not just run up the bill.

Automating something with AI is easy. Knowing when not to is the hard part. I build workflows that use AI only where it counts, so they scale without breaking.

/go-to-market

Launches built to last, not just to blast.

Most launches are a one-off event. I help businesses design a system that works across every channel and keeps paying off long after launch day.

/data-systems

Data you can build on, not just stare at.

Dashboards are where data goes to be admired. I build data systems that power real growth, from programmatic pages to personalised experiences.
