Hire the Best Marketing Automation Strategy Professionals

Top 1% on Upwork · $400K+ earned · 5.0 rating. I go inside growing businesses and rebuild the operations, systems, and revenue infrastructure that are quietly costing time and money. Growing companies don't stall because they lack ambition. They stall because their systems can't keep up. The CRM nobody trusts. The automations that quietly fail. The founder is still manually checking everything because nothing truly runs without them. That's where I come in. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 Most CRM specialists think in workflows. I think in systems. Before I ever touched HubSpot, I built a Quality Management System from scratch for a Fortune 100 logistics company, led ISO 9001 certification end to end, and drove 25% year-over-year operational improvement in a 200+ person logistics operation. That experience taught me something most marketers never learn: how to design processes that are dependable, measurable, auditable, and built to scale, not just functional today. I then spent nearly three years embedded inside ActiveCampaign, one of the world's leading marketing automation platforms, building the CRM architecture, lifecycle automation, and reporting infrastructure that supports large-scale CRM, automation, and reporting operations, not just individual client accounts. That combination, operations discipline from the ground up plus deep MarTech expertise, is what makes the systems I build different from what most freelancers deliver. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈'𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 • $17,000/month in ad spend savings by identifying zero-return channels and recommending platform migration • 40+ HubSpot portals rebuilt or architected from scratch • 800% increase in Google review volume in 30 days through process automation for a legal services marketing agency • Designed and implemented well over 1,000 automation workflows across CRM, marketing, sales, and operations platforms • ISO 9001 certification implemented at a Fortune 100 facility 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 Most clients come to me with one of three situations. Their systems were set up by someone else and nobody fully understands them. Their CRM has data but the team doesn't trust it. Or the founder is still in every decision even though that was supposed to change months ago. All of these are fixable. I'm typically brought in by agencies, legal and professional services firms, SaaS companies, and founder-led businesses that have outgrown their current systems and need operational infrastructure that can support the next stage of growth. 𝐈 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡: • HubSpot, GoHighLevel, and ActiveCampaign architecture, lifecycle automation, and pipeline operations • RevOps and GTM systems including deal tracking, lead routing, and marketing-to-sales handoff • AI-enabled workflow automation using Claude, ChatGPT, Zapier, and Make • Executive dashboards and KPI reporting leadership actually uses • SOP development and operational process documentation • Cross-functional project and program management 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐲: collaborative, solution oriented, fixes it fast, comes back when needed. Great businesses don't scale because they buy more software. They scale because their operations become predictable. That's where I come in.

I will do a free audit on your current campaigns or a free market analysis. Try before you buy. .. if you don't see improvements in your Google ads and SEO campaigns you don't pay, Message me for details or invite me. You’re probably reading this right now wondering who you can actually trust. Who’s experienced, who’s just a kid pretending to know what they’re doing.. You’re also probably worried that if you invest money into a freelancer and advertising, and it doesn’t work out, your budget disappears **without producing the results you expected,** and your business suffers because of it. I get it. I’m a business owner too, and I’ve personally experienced what it’s like to waste time and money on the wrong people. That’s exactly why I approach things differently. I’m a Top Rated, Certified Google Ads (Search Engine Marketing) and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Specialist on Upwork, with a 100% Job Success Score, over 140 ★★★★★ reviews on completed jobs, and more than 53 case studies from happy clients in my Upwork portfolio section. I’m a native English speaker from Ireland. This removes 99% of the frustrations people experience when hiring freelancers. You can rest assured that your business is being marketed online professionally and correctly. I’m also 43 years old. Take a look at the video on my profile (on the left) called “How To Not Hire The Wrong Freelancer On Upwork.” That video will help you in the following ways: ✅ It will ensure you don’t make the mistake of talking to a fake profile or, worse, hiring the wrong person, saving you from wasting months of your life **and thousands in wasted advertising spend.** ✅ If I’m not a good fit for your job, I’ll introduce you to someone trustworthy who can help. You can’t lose. I know who’s good and who’s not on Upwork. ✅ You’ll get a free audit or market analysis to see whether your current Google Ads can be improved, OR whether you should even be using Google Ads in the first place. ✅ I’ll also review your website and highlight areas that **could be costing you leads or sales.** ★★★★★ Daniel D | Immogrowth | “I knew Darren was the right choice because he responded to my post with a personal message offering advice, not a cookie cutter response. The level of expertise and service is worth far more than his rate.” Do you want this part of your business finally handled properly so you can focus on other things, like my client above? ✅ Successfully managed Google Ads campaigns for more than 75 unique industries ✅ Client Reviews: I focus on providing VALUE to all of my clients ✅ Over Delivering: I take pride in leaving all of my clients saying “WOW” ✅ Responsiveness: I’m extremely responsive and communicative ✅ Kindness: I treat everyone with respect, understand all situations, and genuinely want to improve my clients’ businesses Are you tired of working with unreliable freelancers who make big promises but never really deliver? You’ve probably noticed that most freelancers and agencies promise they can do everything you want, all designed to take your money for as long as they can get away with it: 💸 Facebook Ads 💸 Email Marketing 💸 Copywriting 💸 Walking your dog 🐕 The list is endless and so are the excuses when they fail to deliver quality results. This is what’s known in the industry as “running a client through the mill.” Don’t fall for it. I DO NOT take on clients unless I’m confident I can generate leads **and profitable results** for their business. Working with me means no more fluff, no more empty promises, **no more guesswork,** and no more missed deadlines. A lot of businesses come to me asking for help with Google Ads, but I don’t take on everybody as clients because Google Ads and SEO are NOT suitable for every business. Most freelancers won’t tell you that, though. They’ll take your money for as long as they can while promising the results you want are “just around the corner” or that “next month your ads will finally become profitable.” Sound familiar? I’ve been there myself and lost a lot of time and money 😔 I take the time to truly learn about your business **before recommending any strategy.** Save yourself years of stress and wasted money, and let’s have a chat to see whether Google Ads could actually make money for your business. Invite me to your job or send me a message, and I’ll point you in the right direction if Google Ads aren’t what you need. If we establish that Google Ads could potentially work for your business, then and only then can we discuss working together to create a campaign that puts your ads far ahead of your competitors **while generating more qualified leads** and taps into their profits. Unless you hire a dedicated Google Ads expert who truly knows what they’re doing with your money, you’re going to continue losing it. So, what now? If you’ve read this far, and I appreciate that, I’d love to hear exactly what you need help with. Send me a message with the word 'Google ads & SEO".

Here's the nutshell: 1️⃣ Built and sold Quilqy Inc., a bootstrapped outbound agency that hit $600k ARR with no funding. 2️⃣ Co-founded a $20M+ hospitality project in Ukraine - 30 of 40 villas completed. 3️⃣ Now building Funnel Bakers - my one-person practice (not an agency).

I build email and CRM systems that keep converting after I hand them off, not campaigns that need constant babysitting. I've run an entire email operation for 4+ years, growing the subscriber list from under 500 to over 3,500 (7x) while holding a 49% average open rate and 9% click-to-open rate, both well above industry benchmarks. Product landing pages tied to these campaigns convert at 34% on average, more than double typical benchmarks for high-performing pages. I've built a subscriber acquisition system from scratch, lead magnet, welcome sequence, weekly newsletters, growing the list to 447 engaged subscribers, with a 29% average open rate and 6% click-to-open rate sustained over 12+ months. For a B2B SaaS client, I designed and built a complete lead capture and CRM automation system from zero infrastructure: lead magnet, Meta Ads, capture page, and a fully automated Zoho CRM workflow from signup to nurture, documented and handed over for the client to run independently. I work daily in ActiveCampaign, MailerLite, HubSpot, and Zoho CRM, building welcome sequences, nurture flows, list segmentation, and CRM automation for authors, coaches, SaaS founders, and service businesses. Past clients on the reliability side: "Everything was done exactly how it was asked, if not better." "She asks clarifying questions before she starts." Fewer revisions, less back-and-forth. "Excellent English skills and extremely responsive." If you need someone to build an email or CRM system that runs on its own and actually converts, send me a message. I'll be straight with you about whether it's the right fit.
