"I had the pleasure of working with Jonathan Buckley and The Artesian Network to guide and launch Campfire. Their team brings a rare mix of strategic vision and disciplined execution, grounded in the Lean Startup Methodology—test, measure, iterate.
Their impact was so immediate, we asked them to take over marketing for our core business, VFP Consulting. From positioning to pipeline, they deliver full-spectrum go-to-market execution with speed, clarity, and results. Just as important, their communication is consistently clear, proactive, and collaborative—making them a true partner in every sense."
Stephanie Taylor
CEO, VFP Consulting & Campfire
“As a serial entrepreneur, Jonathan is perhaps the most creative marketer that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I personally watched Jonathan launch a company's global strategy and make it look easy. His ability to create inventive strategies and solutions for companies and garner the attention of the media is impressive. He leads a team of seasoned professionals so seamlessly that our business partnership was rewarding for all parties. I look forward to the day when I can work with Jonathan again on a significant partnership.”

“Jonathan was a terrific leader, during a time of great transformation at Ping Identity. He possessed both a bold business acumen and intuition as to where the market was going (in the space of Cloud IAM / SSO), and a solid technical foundation to know what needed to be built, and why. I learned a ton from Jonathan during this period, as I served as his senior Architect and eventual Director of Engineering (Cloud). Jonathan and I have continued to stay close, in other ventures, as well as being a solid friend. I would work with Jonathan again in a heartbeat, especially in any area ripe for transformation a bit of visionary boldness.”

“Crux began as a consulting project with The Artesian Network, and the impact was immediate. Jonathan Buckley and his team brought a rare combination of strategic clarity and speed in execution that helped us successfully orchestrate a product launch and elevate our brand in a critical phase of growth. In 2023, we brought Jonathan on as our interim CMO and extended full-time roles to members of The Artesian Network to accelerate our go-to-market. The results exceeded expectations across every key metric. I’d recommend The Artesian Network without hesitation—and would gladly work with them again.”
Will Freiberg
CEO, Crux
“Jonathan Buckley has been my advisor at Metadata since the early days and has been immensely helpful with many aspects of the startup journey. From management coaching, to positioning and messaging, to helping with customer outreach and retention — nothing is too small for Jonathan to lend a hand. Other than an advisor, I have also contracted The Artesian Network to be our fractional marketing team, and I’ve been nothing short of impressed of their capability to act as a full hands-on team, building our website, running our email campaigns and setting up lead scoring. I highly recommend Jonathan and his team to early-stage startups as they can help you punch above your weight while keeping you at budget. Thanks Jonathan.”
Gil Allouche

It's an infectious passion that's simply fun to be around.”

“My partners and I had been discussing ways to accelerate business growth. We knew we needed a marketing partner with a command of our industry and a focus on selling to the Enterprise to help us. That’s when we were referred to Jonathan and The Artesian Network. Artesian’s team integrated tightly with our team as we set to work. Clearly a seasoned Enterprise marketer, I found Jonathan to be strategic and creative in his thinking and a very clear communicator with his words. We successfully re-branded, re-messaged/positioned the company with transformative results. Jonathan and his team built out the new marketing and sales infrastructure needed for a new sales motion. We were pleased with the results. It doesn’t hurt that in just the 18 months since we finished the work with Artesian, we have already grown nearly 150%.”

CROs & Sales Executives
"I’ve had the opportunity to work with Jonathan Buckley and The Artesian Network across four different engagements over the years on early stage projects. They’re strategic, analytical, and consistently deliver with excellence.
Jonathan brings a rare mix of big-picture thinking and hands-on diligence from his vast experience. He and the Artesian team are data-driven in their approach, yet pragmatic in execution. They dig deep to understand the nuances of your business, often not yet readily apparent to the company itself. They build go-to-market strategies that actually work—supported by insight, not just instinct to help validate PMF.
Just as importantly, communication has always been clear, timely, and aligned across the team. Everyone involved—from leadership through implementation—has been professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with."

Brett Orr
Director of Sales, PowerFile
“Jonathan is the rare breed of marketers who actually understands the sales process. As a result he is able to craft campaigns that deliver leads to forecast in a predictable and measureable way. Strategic thinker with a tactical urgency, Jonathan has shown an ability to deliver significant results while working with less than stellar budgets. He has acumen for absorbing new knowledge quickly. He also is savvy in marshaling the support of key, yet sometimes warring stakeholders, in pursuit of the goal. The result is marketing plans quickly become programs which lead to sales. If in the position to do so, I would work with, work for, or hire Jonathan without hesitation.”
John Foy
Inside Sales Manager, Asempra Technologies
“Jonathan is a great resource if you're looking to reinforce a team with consultative expertise in the realms of IT marketing, go-to-market strategies, product launches etc. He offers a valuable blend of experience, industry data, creativity, and - via his managed network - has access to skills that can quickly become adjuncts to a project team.”
James Colby
Vice President Marketing & Channel at Radware
“I had the pleasure of being an Executive Colleague of Jonathan's while he served at Ping Identity in 2011 and 2012. Jonathan is a very creative out of box thinker who refuses to be limited by the easy and prescribed but consciously chooses to "push" the envelope of possibilities in all that is around him. I found Jonathan's end result focus to be inspirational and motivational to be around. I personally enjoyed working with Jonathan on complex projects of long-range gain and short-term pressure. I always felt that we could surround an objective together and weather any bumps that might exist between today and eventual success we both sought. My recommendation of Jonathan is centered on one main first hand lived observation. If Jonathan believes in the mission at hand, then he will do all that it takes to help get there. If you'd like additional information regarding my endorsement of Jonathan, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.”

Great work!”

This was all done on the limited resources of an “A”

“Jonathan did beautiful aerial photography for our film Message to Zaire, broadcast nationally on PBS as part of the anthology special The Talk. Going far beyond a purely aesthetic or technical approach, Jonathan asked my co-director and me multiple story and content questions about how we planned to edit the visuals, and what emotional impact we wanted the aerials to have. He went out several times to get just the right sequence, and the results were not just visually spectacular but also perfectly in support of the story’s meaning and tone.”

From our first meeting, through the whole process, Jonathan was attentive and determined on achieving the best possible result without any compromise, no matter what that entailed. Quite impressively a 100% of the shots we set out to capture found their way seamlessly into the final cut of the film, adding to the scope, beauty, and emotional charge of key moments in the Story.”
