Maximus - Chief Marketing Officer

Some dogs were born to chase sticks. Maximus of Kanasatka was born to chase stories—and squirrels. At four years old, Maximus hails from the rolling hills of Vermont, where he spent his early days outwitting goats, making fast friends with cows, and engaging in heated debates with cats. Legend has it that when a couple came to visit the litter, Maximus, still shaky on his puppy paws, bravely stood up, barked a bold, yet charming warning, and solidified his fate as a PR prodigy.

Now residing in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Maximus is not just your average dog. He leads a double life: a fearless executive by day, a snow-enthusiast adventurer by weekend. His professional routine includes early morning sunrise briefings, fetch sessions at the beach, and conquering 4,000-footers (he’s already checked off 8!). And when winter hits, no snowbank is too deep for this fluffy explorer.

As Chief Marketing Officer at Tranquil Tails, Maximus brings a calm, confident energy that translates into tail-wagging brand strategy. Fluent in both English and Spanish (he’s that sophisticated), he draws inspiration from years of watching his human parents craft successful campaigns—and now he’s leading the charge himself.

When Maximus isn’t leading marketing initiatives or inspecting every stick along the lakefront, he’s enjoying quality time with his best buddy Jojo, having epic visits from his big brother JD, and pondering life’s big questions. You know, like “How deep is too deep when swimming?” and “Why are ants so fascinating?”

Maximus doesn’t just sit pretty (although he does that too). He’s the kind-hearted explorer, the veggie-loving hype man, and the paws-itively charming CMO your brand didn’t know it needed.

Watch out, King Charles. There’s a new royal in town—and he’s got a paw in PR.
