As an entrepreneur, marketer, salesman, digital media authority, and tech enthusiast, I've held various titles such as Founder, Leader, Strategist, Advisor, and Analyst. However, I'm much more than these titles. I'm a problem solver, a believer in the power of innovation, and a teacher who helps people and companies leverage innovation for practical purposes.With over 20 years of digital marketing and entrepreneurial experience, I've paved new industry opportunities, co-founded successful start-ups, served on a board of directors at Michigan State University, consulted for large web publishers, led the creation of the digital advertising department at Meijer, and managed digital strategy for Jack Morton Worldwide. As an owner of Freshwater Digital, I currently manage business growth and operations for our organization.My expertise in marketing, business innovation, financial strategy, digital marketing, social media, research, building corporate partnerships, business development, and analytic strategy has helped me work with companies both large and small, including General Motors, Liberty Mutual, Michigan State University, Amway, United Airlines, Career Builder, Aramark, Conde’ Nast, Dominos, MLive, Anheuser-Busch, T-Mobile, NBA, Visa, Taco Bell, Meijer, SpartanNash, Steelcase, and more.I'm passionate about teaching corporations how to communicate their brands in memorable, engaging, and relevant ways that attract the right audiences and move them toward their core goals. In fact, I was recently awarded Grand Rapids 40 Under 40 Business Leaders for my contributions to the industry.If you'd like to connect with me or discuss any opportunities, feel free to email me at dodgejon@gmail.com or connect with me on LinkedIn.
