I spent much of my childhood as a bookworm, an avid podcast listener, and a YouTube fan. I stumbled upon marketing-for-dummies videos on YouTube and quickly became entranced by the idea of capturing the attention of a target audience. As I grew older, I then realized that I could do this as a career.I first exercised my marketing YouTube training through my father's fashion company and my real estate business. I had a passion to build client databases and targeted digital marketing campaigns to those lead lists. Thus birthing my lead generation and marketing advertisement company, Pinakl Media.I am now an undergraduate student pursuing my degree in Business Marketing. I'm furthering my marketing experience in a plethora of industries to expand my intelligence and fully understand the operation and need for marketing in various lines of work. Through my internships, I've gained insight into a handful of marketing enablement tools and CRMs such as Zoom Info, Salesforce, Hubspot, Adobe Suite, Basecamp, and more.I look forward to seeing where my career in marketing will take me, but also love hearing from marketing professionals. So feel free to drop me a message in my inbox if you'd like to chat and connect.I always welcome opportunities to network!Best,John Lermijohn@pinaklmedia.com“Master the topic, the message, and the delivery.” - Steve Jobs, Co-Founder, Apple
