CNV Creative is a full-stack performance marketing agency and fractional CMO firm built for growth-stage businesses that have outgrown the DIY approach — but aren't ready (or wrong) for a traditional agency.
Founded by Crystal Volinchak and Nicholas Volinchak, CNV works primarily with founder-led companies doing $2M–$10M in revenue across two verticals: DTC ecommerce brands and lead generation businesses in professional services (dental, legal, consulting, and more).
What sets CNV apart is the model. Most agencies either hand you a strategy and leave you to figure out execution, or they run one channel in isolation with no visibility into the bigger picture. CNV does both — unified under one roof. Clients get fractional CMO-level strategic leadership, a dedicated marketing PM to manage execution, and a full specialist team covering paid media, organic social, email and SMS, SEO, content, and web — all working from a single strategy toward a single outcome.
This is what CNV calls The Spark Operating System™ — a proprietary framework designed to replace the fragmented freelancer model with something that actually compounds. Instead of five contractors who don't talk to each other, clients get one integrated system that builds momentum over time.
CNV's results reflect that approach. Notable outcomes include a 17.5× ROAS for a dental consulting client over a six-year partnership, $1.28M in revenue during a single Black Friday campaign for a women's adventure travel brand, and 7.9× growth with a 70%+ close rate for a bookkeeping firm that started at three new clients per month.
Crystal leads creative direction and client strategy. Nicholas manages operations, technical implementation, and content systems. Together, they've built a firm that's as comfortable in the creative weeds as it is in the data — and that's exactly the combination growth-stage founders need when their marketing needs to do both.
CNV doesn't work with everyone. They're built for founders who are already investing in marketing, understand that results take a real system to achieve, and are ready to step out of the day-to-day execution so their business can actually scale.
If you're tired of coordinating contractors, chasing updates, and wondering why your marketing isn't compounding — CNV Creative is the system you install instead.
