Acquisitions at companies she has led marketing for

Erin Kanaley's career sits at the intersection of marketing innovation, technology, and high-touch luxury service. With a foundation built inside the world's most influential platforms, her work has consistently shaped how brands communicate, convert, and scale.

She began at Facebook (now Meta), leading breakthrough marketing across mainstream media, sports, and cultural moments — from the 2010 Olympics to the Emmy-nominated ABC Midterm Elections coverage and iconic events like The GRAMMYs, American Music Awards, and the Golden Globes.

Erin played a pivotal role in introducing Facebook Live as a major content platform, partnering with publishers to bring live video to the masses. She produced a Live Town Hall with former President Barack Obama, appeared in MTV's Diary of Facebook, and collaborated with Oprah Winfrey Network.

Her entertainment chapter brought her to ReignDeer Entertainment (acquired by Maverick Management) as VP of Digital, supporting global talent including Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Avril Lavigne, and will.i.am.

Through a decade of fractional CMO work, Erin has driven growth for brands from seed-stage startups to publicly traded companies across cannabis, wellness, wine, hospitality, SaaS, aviation, and more. Her clients have been acquired by TikTok, Headspace, 4Front Ventures, Fulcrum, and Maverick Management.
