I work with entrepreneurs to creatively craft growth into their services & products. I enjoy building ideas & sharing experiences, from working with lean startups (2 acquired for over $40mil in the last 3 years) to directing a marketing agency's Client Services team, to consulting on software used by Fortune 500 brands. Travel, speaking, & writing have been in my life even longer, providing opportunities to build the internal tools & support resources for a remote startup team (at email service provider MadMimi), and "growth hacking" a 4-person legal startup in LA into a viable platform product then developing a pivot product based on market research. I've been a growth hacker & digital marketing strategist for startups & local brands since developing my first website 11 years ago. With a background in designing digital marketing strategies to drive traffic to the sites of a few larger brands, plus several small businesses, tech startups, & personal web properties, I thrive on new challenges that require new solutions-combining various digital marketing channels/strategies, such as: - Marketing automation - Search engine optimization & PPC - Web & Mobile Analytics - Customer Acquisition & Retention - Online public relations - Email marketing - Social media marketing campaigns - Lead generation >1,100% increase in weekly search traffic in just 4 months for @LawKick >Improved a digital marketing agency's client retention rate from regular turnovers to 100% during the time I directed their marketing client services team >Designed my first website at 12 years old & went on to be chosen as a McKelvey Entrepreneurship Scholarship
