Marketing Executive

Summary

Marketing leader with over 20 years of experience in SEO, messaging, branding, user-journey, copywriting, paid acquisition, team leadership, and process documentation. Having run a business and worked with B2B, B2C, D2C, and SMBs, I have a strong feel for how to translate business goals into marketing strategies and tactics. I specialize in turning complex ideas into simple language that readers connect with. Whether it’s a website, a blog post, an email, or an ad, I use psychology and empathy to speak directly to the pains and fears of our ideal customers, and guide them toward the solution.
