My team provides digital marketing, publicity, and content strategy and fulfillment to our clients. I often build teams using agile frameworks for workflows, inspired by Scrum. I work to improve my leadership and communication skills as a project manager and team builder, including periodically re-centering myself, and helping others to find purpose in their work. Responsibilities include internet marketing services, team building, and consulting for ecommerce and content websites. I enjoy working with startups and small cap public companies to drive traffic, conversion, customer retention, and social proof. I have an affinity for health and wellness clients who need process-driven solutions. I generally prefer work that I find meaningful, where clients give me the latitude to explore ideas in my own way. Client acceptance is a balance between the value I can deliver, how much work that will require, available budget, and compatibility. Once work starts, I'm all-in to help them actualize their "why."• Develop customer journey-focused growth strategies to drive traffic, engagement, conversion and retention, including email sequences (drip campaigns) and newsletters, blogging, social media and remarketing ads• Improve conversion and return on ad spend (Conversion Rate Optimization/CRO, ROAS)• Developed omnichannel strategies for clients, to convert traffic from SEO, PPC and Affiliate Marketing campaigns, producing typical results of 100-500% increases in targeted traffic• Distributed team includes: publicists, SEOs, content creators, editors, researchers, data scientists, content formatters, web developers, designers, and support for affiliate marketing, PPC management, and social media management• Experience with all popular platforms (Wordpress / Woocommerce, Magento, Shopify, Nation Builder, etc)

I came to an agreement with my previous employer to phase out of my role as CMO in order to pursue my own agency. My journey began as a consultant. They stayed on as a client, and I began to bring my own direct clients. I grew very quickly and hired a lot of recent college graduates and some expert consultants to provide digital marketing services to dozens of clients. I was a good leader in the beginning, but became overwhelmed after making a few bad business decisions. I lost my sense of purpose and had to shut my doors. I worked part time as a consultant while trying to find myself again.

I'm grateful for access to the Entrepreneur platform, where I publish articles to help small business owners and entrepreneurs at scale. My passion is for start-ups, and the dream that so many of us have to operate successful businesses.

I have conversations with small business owners and startup founders. They share their stories, along with "snackable solutions." These are bite-sized, one-off tactics that you can use to make your business incrementally better. I created this podcast because I can't serve everyone who asks to hire me, and I wanted to provide this audience with actionable advice. It's also a way to connect with interesting people who share many of my values.

Around the time when I felt ready to dive into fulltime work again, I took on this role as a summer class teacher, where I trained foster kids, and at risk youth from nontraditional backgrounds to prepare them for careers in the IT sector. As someone who was rediscovering my own sense of purpose, I found this role both difficult and rewarding. The most engaged students were there voluntarily. Others were there as an alternative to prison for non-violent crimes. Both groups were paid by the state to be in class. In retrospect, this profit incentive for the students was in direct competition with finding purpose and learning new skills. The curriculum was comparable to A+ Certification, including: Computer data formats; Linux, HTML, JavaScript, CSS & PHP fundamentals; MS Office; Networking Hardware & Protocols; Using work-ticketing systems / help desk; Android, Windows, OSX and iOS fundamentals and troubleshooting.

DVD rentals by mail were on the way out, and CBT had challenges transforming the business into a streaming video model. So, it was time to move forward in a different industry. At David's Cookies, I delivered amazing results but hadn't yet matured into a successful team leader. I grew the online division by 3x over 2 years through SEO, SEM, Affiliate Marketing, design, development, and usability. Created efficiencies in back-end operations to reduce workload by 50% while sustaining growth. Part of this came from my digital marketing expertise, and part of it came from applying some of the operational methodologies, and the subscription model that I learned in the DVD rental by mail business. • Applied best-practices to custom website design to improve conversion by 50%, including design changes, improved navigation, page layout, faster hosting and bug fixes• Initiated email marketing campaign to engage existing customers, with holiday themes and several segments that included frequent buyers and corporate clients• Initiated remarketing campaign to improve conversion by 20%• Increased traffic volume 5x through SEO/SEM, Affiliates/Publishers & other marketing channels• Expanded Corporate Gifts program from a small revenue stream to a major profit center• Expanded Cookie of the Month & Dessert of the Month membership base by 10x• Affiliate Manager: Increased revenues by 2.5x & affiliate base from 6,000 to 22,000 publishers (branding).• Revamped SEO strategies with improved navigation & other design & development projects, copy writing & links• Redefined PPC, CPA & CPM strategy including paid inclusion & behavioral targeting• Project Management & QA for outsourced design & development• Initiated PR campaign which resulted in multiple placements (Good Housekeeping, Maury Povich, PBS, CBC Canada and others)

This company was also acquired by CBT Media Group, Greencine was one of the most popular indie film websites online. I set the foundation for SEO, SEM and affiliate marketing programs for this and other CBT properties.

After my company was acquired by CBT Media Group, I had the opportunity to specialize in digital marketing with a focus on affiliate marketing, SEO, and PPC. This online DVD rental company had multiple niche websites, offering movie genres that were unavailable through Netflix.

I realized that office administration was not my calling in life. At that same time, my soon-to-be business partner was laid off from his position as an analyst at Goldman Sachs. Together, we started an online DVD rental company with multiple niche websites. It was my first major try at entrepreneurship and the startup lifestyle. We capitalized on movie genres that were unavailable through Netflix. Over time, I became responsible for several employees and we were acquired by CBT Media Group, where I began to specialize in digital marketing.• Coded DVD rental membership website using PHP, MySQL, HTML, and CSS• Utilized SEO for top organic rankings in the DVD rental by mail category• Worked with business partner to develop lean processes through code and execution to pick, pack and receive DVDs• Sold the company to CBT Media Group
