I am a website designer with a focus on user experience design, and a digital marketing consultant. Over the past 20 years, I've worked in several areas of website design and digital marketing, which has allowed me to gain a solid foundation of the tools and processes. Having this broad knowledge and experience contributes greatly to the conversion optimization process because CRO touches many aspects of digital marketing. It's important to be able to visualize the sales funnel process from start to finish and know how everything works independently and together as a whole. I enjoy talking with my clients about strategy and providing any input I can on tools, processes, and past experiences to help them. I'm reliable, easy to work with, and easy to contact. I continually take practitioner courses to keep my skills and knowledge up to date. If you have any questions, just ask. -------------------------------------------- Certifications: -------------------------------------------- • Nielsen Norman Group UX Certificate • CXL Certified Optimizer (CRO) • Udacity Digital Marketing Nanodegree -------------------------------------------- Feedback From My Clients: -------------------------------------------- • “Derek is a professional in every sense of the word. Talented, responsible and excellent communication skills. We will be hiring Derek for more projects as they come along!” • “I hired Derek to do a complete website review and he pointed us in MANY directions that are extremely helpful. He is obviously VERY good at what he does and went above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks Derek!” • "Derek is a top level website design/development talent. We continue to use Derek's services as the needs arise. Highly recommended!" • “Derek is competent, hard working and is always great with communication. These are the qualities that make a great freelancer to work with. He not only has the technical skills of a great developer, and the drive to figure out anything he may not initially know, but he also has a solid awareness of design aesthetic. I have worked with developers in the past that could do the technical part, but had zero understanding of why something didn't quite look right visually, or why something might not work well process-wise. Derek is always on point in these areas, in addition to the technical side of things. I couldn't recommend this person enough to others.” -------------------------------------------- Tools I Use: -------------------------------------------- • Testing and Insights - Visual Website Optimizer (VWO), HotJar, ClickTale, Crazy Egg. • Analytics - Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager. • Shopping Cart & CRM - Shopify, WooCommerce, InfusionSoft, 1ShoppingCart, One Click Upsell. • Surveys - Survey Monkey, Survey Gizmo, Typeform. • Graphic Design - Adobe Photoshop. • Website Design & Development - Figma, Adobe Dreamweaver, Wordpress, Beaver Builder, Dynamik Website Builder, Genesis Framework. • Email Marketing - Drip, Mail Chimp, Aweber, Get Response • Landing Page Design - OptimizePress, Lead Pages, Dreamweaver, Click Funnels. • Paid Traffic - Google, Bing, Facebook.

Hi, I’m Ben. I write copy that sells — landing page optimization, email marketing, sales copy, drip campaigns, blog posts, white papers, and web copy. What could your company achieve if your content changed behavior (sold more, converted leads, or increased brand affinity)? I have proven success from my time writing for companies like Hewlett-Packard, Target, and creating marketing campaigns to support clients like Google, Best Buy, and UnitedHealthcare. - Increased lead generation from 150 to 1,500 leads within one year with a white paper and supporting marketing strategy - Increased member registration by 10% across 150,000 members using A/B testing to optimize positioning - Increased an email campaign’s 2% click through rate to a 25% click through rate Here’s a little bit more about my background. Whether you’re looking for strategy work or copywriting — with my business background, I understand the WHY and convey it in a way that creates behavior change for your audience. - Member experience lead for a 500-person health insurance company (acquired by United healthcare). I run engagement and member communications across all clients, including Fortune 100 accounts. - Led digital marketing strategy for two product lines for a $4 Billion, 1,000+ person healthcare company. - Co-founded and led digital marketing for a boutique marketing agency and sales consultancy. - Marketing manager for a tech company — one of the largest Google service providers in North America (providing services like machine learning, internet of things, and cloud computing) for Fortune 500 companies. If you want copy that sells, let’s work together.
