CAREER JOURNEYAs evidenced by my experience in marketing, content creation, writing, and graphic design, I relish the creative process of metrics-driven campaigns and its capacity for building meaningful connections, driving engagement, facilitating learning.As the Marketing Manager for a leading Managed IT Service Provider, I am responsible for leading our team in lead generation using HubSpot and ZoomInfo, content creation, video creation, and SEO improvements. Skills include:· Marketing manager for team of 4· Content creation based on keyword research· B2B digital marketing campaigns and analytics· Creative writing and editing for customer education and documentation· Business collateral graphic design· Product video planning and editing· Website design and SEO for lead generation· Email campaign management for customers and prospects by industry· Event and trade show design and planningEarly employment at a self-publisher and designing covers for over 1200 books have helped me develop a personal philosophy avoiding the “my way or the highway” mentality. For me, creating content requires continual learning, maintaining focus on the customer and audience, and eliminating personal ego. This initial lesson has allowed me to build successful working relationships and content for every company and customer for whom I have worked.I also continue to operate a freelance design venture focused on providing cost-effective design for small businesses and non-profits. Successful design is an equal partnership between the designer and the client, and it should be an endeavor that is innovative and fulfilling to everyone involved.Lifting the curtain on my personal life, I’m a proud father, hiker, and sci-fi geek who unapologetically loves puns (punapologetic?) and Hawaiian pizza. I have also written a collection of short non-fiction humor that’s sold tens of copies!WHAT I DO:· Digital Marketing Campaign Analytics and Management· Content Creation· Graphic Design· Business and Creative Writing· Editing and Proofreading· Blog Writing· Social Media Management· Video and Audio Editing· Project Management· Small Team Management· Branding and Collateral· Email and Print Campaigns· Lead Nurturing· SEO Analysis· Communications· Trade Show Design and CoordinationWHAT I USE:· Adobe Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere Pro, Illustrator)· HubSpot· ZoomInfo· Constant Contact· Cvent· Salesforce· LeadBoxer· ServiceNow· Google Ads· Google Analytics· Helpjuice· Office 365, PowerPoint, Word, Excel, Teams· Zoom· WordPress & HTML
