6/21 – The first day of summer
June 21st, the first day of summer, is a magical time when everything is possible. Free to forget the rules of the school year, explore with friends, and make your time your own. That’s the work we do at 621 Consulting — helping businesses liberate themselves from convention and head confidently into a future of unfolding possibilities.
Our origins
Scott Kabat, CEO & Founding Partner
Scott Kabat is an experienced operating executive and entrepreneur, with a track record of building scalable revenue engines and customer-friendly mainstream brands to compete in large, established categories.
As an operator Scott continually saw companies grappling with how to match their marketing talent mix to the ever-changing needs of the business. Scott started 621 to help companies through these transitional phases by leveraging experienced fractional marketers.
Before starting 621, Scott was the CMO at One Medical and Prezi, led the team that launched the Flip Video brand from inception to #1 market share ($600M Cisco acquisition), co-founded the Y Combinator startup Knowmia (acquisition), and ran Cisco’s global consumer marketing team. He cut his teeth in CPG brand, sales and business development roles at Clorox and as a strategy consultant at A.T. Kearney.
Senior team & advisors
The 621 team balances deep functional experience with a scrappy, collaborative approach. We adapt to the needs of each client, from taking on operational responsibilities to advising existing marketing resources.
