25+ Years in Relationship-Centered Development Are you a nonprofit leader who knows you need to strengthen donor relationships and sharpen your message but aren't sure where to start? I help organizations move beyond transactional fundraising to build authentic, lasting connections with the people who believe in their mission—and I help you shape communications that inspire action. With over 25 years in nonprofit development and marketing, I've guided organizations of all sizes toward sustainable funding strategies and compelling narratives—from grassroots community groups to campaigns exceeding $20 million. My approach is built on my Cultivating Relationships (CR) framework—a donor-as-hero, gratitude-first philosophy that puts genuine connection before the ask. **How I can help you:** **Fundraising & Development Strategy** Fundraising strategy and campaign planning · Donor cultivation and stewardship strategy · Major donor and corporate partnership strategy · Board fundraising training and toolkits · Foundation and grant strategy · Case for support and messaging direction **Marketing & Communications Strategy** Storytelling and messaging strategy · Email and social media strategy · Integrated marketing strategy that supports fundraising goals · Brand and positioning guidance **Strategic Coaching & On-Call Support** Sometimes you don't need another deliverable—you need a thought partner. Through my coaching offering, you get a direct, ongoing line to me for the real-time moments: a donor conversation you're weighing, a decision before you hit send, a board ask you want to talk through. Available as a standalone package or built into a retainer. My clients include environmental conservation organizations, social justice nonprofits, youth development programs, and publications committed to amplifying diverse voices. I bring strategic vision and a partner's perspective. Whether you need a fundraising strategy, a communications approach that builds community, help preparing your board to fundraise confidently, or a thought partner to strengthen your overall direction, I'd love to learn about your organization and explore how I can help. Let's talk about what's possible for your mission.

Expert-Vetted Top 1% Upwork consultant | Nearly $3M billed since 2021 | 100% Job Success I have spent 25+ years founding, scaling, and exiting six companies across ecommerce, supplements, subscription commerce, manufacturing, nutraceuticals, and consumer products. Across the companies I founded and led, our products generated more than $587M in gross retail sales. I built subscribe-and-save programs serving 250,000+ monthly members, scaled a 4,000-member subscription box, operated Shopify Plus brands sustaining 4-6% conversion rates, and completed multiple exits. Today, I help DTC founders find the revenue already sitting inside their stores. My work focuses on Shopify, Klaviyo, CRO, retention, subscriptions, lifecycle marketing, and the operating decisions that determine whether growth becomes profitable revenue or disappears through leaks. I have lived the problems my clients bring me: CAC pressure. Conversion declines. Failed launches. Weak retention. Inventory risk. Cash flow constraints. Agency confusion. Underperforming email and SMS. Subscription churn. Reporting that shows activity without explaining what is actually happening. Eventually, every founder has to answer the same question: Where is the money leaking? That is the problem I help solve. Since my last exit, I have spent two years building RavenOS, my private AI-assisted growth analysis system. RavenOS helps me review Shopify, Klaviyo, GA4, Meta, and customer data faster and more thoroughly than a traditional audit process. It looks for problems most teams miss: • Failed payments and preventable subscription churn • Weak lifecycle flows and poor campaign sequencing • Declining customer cohorts and low repeat purchase • Discount stacking and margin erosion • Checkout and product-discovery friction • Poor offer sequencing and merchandising gaps • Revenue trapped inside the existing customer base • Reporting discrepancies and weak attribution RavenOS does the digging. I determine what matters, what it is likely costing the business, and what should be fixed first. It is the system I wish I had when I was running my own brands. Back then, I often found revenue leaks the hard way, by losing the money first. That is where 25 years of founder and operator judgment comes in. I look at your business like someone who has sat in the founder seat with his own capital, inventory, employees, reputation, and cash flow on the line. A few relevant highlights: • Founded and scaled six companies • More than $587M in gross retail sales across founder-led brands • Built subscribe-and-save programs with 250,000+ monthly members • Built and operated a 4,000-member monthly subscription box • Multiple exits, including MySupplementStore, GeekBox, NRGX Labs, and KEEG Ocean Plastics • Experience with Shopify Plus brands sustaining 4-6% conversion rates • Inc. 5000, including the #40 fastest-growing retail company in the United States • Named one of Inc. Magazine’s “30 Top CEOs Under 30” • Expert-Vetted Top 1% on Upwork • Nearly $3M billed through Upwork since 2021 • 100% Job Success I typically help brands with growth audits, Shopify and Klaviyo performance, conversion rate optimization, lifecycle revenue, retention, subscriptions, offer strategy, merchandising, checkout friction, and revenue per visitor. The work may be a focused sprint around one visible constraint, a complete growth blueprint, or ongoing founder-level advisory. The format matters less than identifying the right problem and fixing things in the right order. What you receive is a clear read on: • Where revenue is being lost • What is likely causing it • What it may be costing the business • What should be fixed first • What can wait • How to turn the findings into practical execution Most businesses do not need another complicated dashboard, generic audit, or long list of best practices. They need an accurate read on where revenue is being lost and someone who understands how the decisions affect cash flow, customers, inventory, margins, and long-term growth. I find the revenue already sitting inside your store. Send me a brief overview of the business, the main constraint you are seeing, and the systems currently in place. I will give you a direct read on where I would begin. Best, Joshua

Hi there! I’ve specialized in digital marketing for 11 years, adapting to where your business needs support. Whether it's serving as a fractional CMO or focusing on lead generation, ads, or social media/branding, I'm here to help. Let me know if you’d like a quick intro call or a tailored proposal. I run GPS Marketing and focus on partnerships, not just transactional work. While I specialize in social media, paid ads (Google & Meta), funnels, and strategy, I provide long-term support, treating your brand like my own. My marketing journey started at 16, driven by necessity. My family was escaping an abusive household, and I used my first startup income to help us start over and fund my education. This sparked my passion, leading to the founding of Peace Over Pieces, a nonprofit supporting domestic abuse survivors. Every project I take on has meaning behind it. I earned my degree in marketing, entrepreneurship, and computer science from Westminster College and then launched Ground Plan Studio—a boutique firm focused on strategy, transparency, and sustainable growth for brands I truly believe in. Today, I lead a small but talented team, including a former Meta & Google ads strategist and a creative designer. When you work with us, you get high-level strategy, impactful creative, and reliable support—not just outsourced work.
