Most fractional CMOs have never run a brand. I have. I built and operate The Passport Project on Shopify, growing it to 300+ partner businesses and brand deals with Red Bull and Universal Music. That operator lens shapes how I work with every client. I help e-commerce brands turn scattered growth efforts into launched campaigns and measurable revenue. My work spans the full growth stack: Shopify builds and conversion optimization, Klaviyo and Shopify Flow email automation, Google Ads and Meta paid acquisition, SEO and content strategy, and analytics. What I bring to a client engagement: I run my own Shopify brand from product development to paid acquisition, so I understand what actually moves the needle. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish and have led projects with people from the US, Chile, Colombia, Canada, Haiti, South Africa, and Iran. Useful for US brands expanding into LATAM or LATAM brands targeting US consumers. I use the StoryBrand framework to simplify positioning and write copy that converts. I spent 16+ years in hospitality before moving into marketing, and my client work spans e-commerce, CPG, food and beverage, pet care, healthcare, and tourism. If you're looking for someone who can both architect the strategy and execute on it, let's chat.

NATIVE U.S. ENGLISH SPEAKER, HIGHLY SKILLED WRITER, EDITOR, AND PROOFREADER. I am originally from the US but spend much of the year traveling as an adventure journalist. As contributing writer for over two dozen international adventure/travel/lifestyle publications, editor-at-large for the world's largest surf-related website, and chief content creator for various publishers, authors, and corporate firms, I am committed to providing top-notch writing, copy editing, and proofreading services.

PERFORMANCE MARKETING & WEBFLOW SPECIALIST For the past 10+ years I've been building websites and marketing systems that don't just look great — they convert. I run Wonderflow, a performance marketing agency focused on full-funnel optimization, and I bring that same strategic mindset to every Webflow project I take on. Most clients come to me frustrated by the gap between their marketing team and their dev team. I close that gap. I think in funnels, build in Webflow, and measure everything. Brands I've worked with: ✅ GOLFTEC ✅ SkyTrak ✅ Bag Boy ✅ Dale Carnegie (80+ countries) ✅ Arizona State University ✅ Dairy Queen What I actually do: ✅ Webflow Development — As an early Webflow adopter with deep CMS expertise, I build fast, scalable sites architected for marketing performance. Not just pretty pages — pages built to convert. ✅ Marketing Funnel Strategy — I map and optimize the full funnel: paid traffic, landing pages, conversion tracking, and nurture. I've spent years diagnosing where funnels leak and fixing them. ✅ Performance Marketing — Paid media strategy, campaign structure, creative performance analysis, and full-funnel reporting for brands serious about growth. Why work with me? I run my own marketing agency, so I understand what's at stake. I don't just execute tasks — I think about your business goals and flag things you didn't ask about. My clients consistently describe me as responsive, proactive, and someone who over-delivers. 💬 "Taylor's technical skills, creative designs and vision for overall user experience greatly surpassed our high expectations... His responsiveness is extraordinary and his willingness to tackle any new requests, always with suggestions on how to make things work best, automate and present most effectively, is appreciated." — Alisa B., IICF If you're looking for someone who can build your Webflow site AND understand the marketing strategy behind it, let's talk.
