Marketing Automation Strategy, Execution & Analysis

I’ve worked in marketing automation since the dawn of the industry. (I was one of Pardot’s first customers and spoke at their first user conference.) In fact, if you Google my name + Pardot, you'll find articles where I was interviewed about it a decade ago! Unlike many marketing automation specialists, I'm a marketer who learned to use the technology. People hire me for three reasons: 1.) In addition to knowing the software, I'm an award-winning writer and a better than average email designer, so I won't just place your content in the software; I'll review it. 2.) I understand customer journeys, so I'll have insight and recommendations into cadences, subject lines and other tactics that increase the likelihood of your success. 3.) 90% of my customers hope to eventually bring marketing automation in-house, so I provide full documentation of any repetitive work I do for you. No more referring to generic marketing automation documentation. If desired, I'll tell you what to do for YOUR campaigns and prepare you for success after our contract is over. If you select to interview me, you'll find I will ask you several questions about your business before I ask you about marketing automation. Today's platforms have a wide array of tools. It's my job to pull the right ones out of the box. Current marketing automation platforms I support: Pardot - I'm one of very few Expert-Vetted, Top Rated Plus freelancers on Upwork that work in Pardot. Hubspot - I'm one of very few Expert-Vetted, Top Rated Plus freelancers on Upwork that work in Hubspot. SharpSpring - So far as I know, I am the only Expert-Vetted freelancer on Upwork that supports SharpSpring, and one of very few Top Rated Plus freelancers to do so. Makesbridge - So far as I know, I am the only Expert-Vetted freelancer on Upwork that supports Makesbridge, and one of very few Top Rated Plus freelancers to do so.

"Marcus was quick to understand what was needed and quickly marked off tasks. Our install was a bit complicated and Marcus was able to suggest and guide us towards the best outcome (and help us avoid costly work that wouldn't have resulted in worthwhile effort). Our agency was new to this type of project and Marcus was a huge asset to help us understand and get the work done. We highly recommend him!"

Testimonials

Endorsements from past clients

"Marcus was hired to help configure Salesforce so it would be more useful to our leadership team. He accurately married the rules of the business to the capabilities of the platform and then worked with another outside consultant to deploy custom dashboards suitable for our industry. During the customization, we decided that the long decision-making process in commercial construction made it an ideal environment for marketing automation. Pardot was the natural add-on. Marcus handled the Pardot deployment, ensuring we had an effective drip marketing program in place as prospects moved down the funnel. We also used Pardot for simple, swiftly deployed landing pages. In a relatively short period of time, we were able to enhance our marketing technology stack to better compete in a digital age."

"I worked with Marcus during the time he was leading the sales and marketing teams through implementing the marketing automation platform, Pardot, which connected with our Salesforce CRM. In addition to coming up with the company's marketing automation strategy, he was always digging deeper into the platform's analytics to find insights to help the sales and marketing teams work smarter, not harder.
