Hire the Best Marketing Automation Consultants in Austin, TX

My name is Aaron, I'm an ex-HubSpot employee and full-time consultant from Austin, Texas, specializing in HubSpot implementation/optimization and strategy. Over the years I've helped almost 200 companies design, scale, and optimize their revenue process, and was even asked to speak at HubSpot's West Coast Summit. Having done this for the last six years I can tell you that clients hire me for three reasons: 1. They know they aren't getting the ROI they should from HubSpot, and are curious about how they can turbo charge their return 2. Their CRM has become so messy over time that the data is unreliable, which means their automations and reports are failing 3. They're about to get started with HubSpot, and want to make sure they do it right the first time There are a lot of consultants who can help with the above, but I'm typically hired because of my experience building and scaling companies outside the confines of any one tool. I've designed and trained sales teams with GTM strategies inside HubSpot a few times now, each revenue channel scaling to at least $2m in revenue in the first year – and I'm now applying that same playbook to help other companies with their own revenue engines. Having done this so many times I know that a successful implementation ensures everyone gets what they need, from individual contributors to the stakeholders. A team member should be enabled by their tools, not slowed down. Executives should be able to see real-time insights and granular reports for company performance. Automation should complement your team, not create new busywork for them to clean up. There should be perfect harmony between human input, automation, and user interface. HubSpot is an expensive tool, and you should know the ROI for your business. If you are still looking for someone to help out, I would appreciate the opportunity to tell you more about my skill set and experience, and have plenty of references I can provide.

Email is one of the most powerful channels in marketing when it’s built correctly. I help companies design the campaigns, automation, and lifecycle programs that make it work. Over the past 7 years I’ve worked across multiple marketing automation platforms including HubSpot, Pardot, Marketo, Mailchimp, and Klaviyo. My work has focused on building structured email campaigns, configuring automation workflows, managing CRM data, and ensuring campaigns run reliably inside complex marketing systems. I’ve supported both B2B and consumer marketing teams, including managing email programs for a national brand with more than 1.6 million subscribers. I’m comfortable working inside existing CRM environments, maintaining clean data, configuring workflows, and ensuring campaigns launch correctly. Typical work includes: • Building automation workflows inside ESP platforms • Structuring multi-email campaign sequences • Managing audience segmentation and suppression logic • Maintaining CRM data accuracy and campaign tracking • Writing clear, professional email copy • QA testing campaigns before launch I’m especially comfortable supporting teams that need someone who can work inside their existing systems and execute campaigns cleanly without requiring constant oversight. Platforms I’ve worked with include HubSpot, Pardot, Marketo, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, and ActiveCampaign.

Most businesses spend a fortune trying to get attention. Far fewer turn that attention into revenue. From email and SMS campaigns to landing pages and content marketing, my job is to turn attention into customers through conversion-focused copy, nurture and follow-up campaigns, and clear sales funnel messaging. In many cases, the biggest opportunity isn’t more traffic. It’s making better use of the attention a business has already earned or purchased. Strong messaging at every stage of the funnel can unlock value that’s already sitting in a company’s audience, traffic, or lead database. For the past six years I’ve worked with startups, small businesses, and marketing teams on projects ranging from email campaigns and landing pages to full sales funnel messaging and website copy. I focus on those marketing crossroads where messaging, creative, and positioning have the greatest impact on conversion. Common projects include: • Email marketing campaigns and nurture sequences • Landing page, website, and blog copy • Sales funnel messaging • Outreach and cold email campaigns • Email and SMS re-engagement campaigns for dormant leads or subscribers • Video scripts, VSLs, and social media content • Messaging and conversion strategy • Marketing automation workflows I'm a U.S.-based native English speaker with a track record spanning over 1,000 freelance projects for international clients across multiple industries through independent engagements and freelance platforms. If you're looking for conversion-focused copy, content, and messaging — or if you just want to discuss marketing strategy and see what gaps I can help you close — feel free to reach out to me. I'd love to hear more about your project.

Most founders already have plenty in motion. A website in progress. A CRM that is only half-used. Content ideas. A few warm leads. A launch coming up. Partnership conversations floating around. A sales team asking for better materials. A list of things everyone agrees should happen soon. The real question is: which moves will actually create growth, and in what order? That is where I am most useful. I step into the business, take in the full picture, spot the strongest opportunities, connect the pieces, and turn the noise into a practical plan people can actually execute. I have spent more than 20 years working across marketing strategy, go-to-market planning, strategic partnerships, brand positioning, content, media, email marketing, CRM systems, business development, sales enablement, and implementation. *Sometimes the work begins with a first-year roadmap. *Sometimes it means sharpening the offer, choosing the right audience, and deciding which channels deserve attention. *Sometimes it means building the campaigns, content workflows, landing pages, forms, sales materials, and follow-up systems that support growth. *Sometimes it means recognizing the partnership opportunity that opens a completely new path. A few examples: * Built a consultant referral and agency partner motion for an AI MarTech platform that generated 83% of first-year revenue * Built the GTM marketing function for a B2B company and helped shape a new service line that generated approximately $85,000 in its first six months * Moved a healthcare education business from KIT into GoHighLevel, organized the database and tagging structure, added text messaging, and developed email sequences that supported $10,000+ months from email campaigns alone * Developed a strategic relationship with the Austin Business Journal as part of a broader growth strategy that helped a construction company move from more than $48 million to $60 million * Built chamber-of-commerce relationships that gathered market insight and surfaced high-value prospective clients * Created more than 60 branded, bilingual, HIPAA-compliant Formstack workflows for a regulated healthcare business * Connected a nonprofit with the corporate partner that became its largest donor * Currently developing an experiential partnership involving a well-known gaming brand and a four-season Virginia resort Clients often bring me in for: **Growth Strategy** * Marketing strategy and practical growth roadmaps * Fractional CMO and senior marketing leadership * GTM strategy, ICP definition, positioning, and offer clarity * Personal-brand and content strategy **Marketing Systems** * Email campaigns, nurture sequences, and conversion paths * CRM, lead-generation, and follow-up systems * Website, landing-page, and content planning * Sales materials, pitch decks, and outreach messaging **Strategic Partnerships** * Partner-channel strategy * Referral, agency, and consultant programs * Sponsorships and experiential partnerships * Business-development opportunities I am comfortable stepping back to understand the larger commercial problem and getting close enough to the work to help move it forward. I can identify the priorities, shape the strategy, guide implementation, and keep the pieces connected. I also bring hands-on experience with HubSpot, GoHighLevel, KIT, Formstack, marketing automation, CRM workflows, email systems, and the practical infrastructure required to support the strategy. Tell me what you are building, what feels messy, and where you are trying to go. I will help you figure out what deserves attention first.
