Hello, My name is Jodie, I am an experienced freelance videographer, photographer, and editor. I used to work as the Head of Videography for one of the fastest growing social media agencies and largest startup success stories called Social Chain. Over the years I've worked on many large campaigns with global brands brands, such as, Nike, New Balance, Puma, FA Cup, Man City, Chelsea FC, Holland & Barrett, Simply Be, Beauty Bay, Pretty Little Thing, Boohoo, Amazon, and more. I worked with a variety of clients from beauty, fashion, travel, tech, e-commerce, and many more. My speciality is creating videos or graphics for social media campaigns, from short-form content - social ads, reels, stories, in-feed posts, dark posting ads - through to long-form content - YouTube videos, IGTV, and Podcasts - in addition to larger scale campaigns that involve offline and online content for brands. If you're interested in working together or would like to know a little more about what I do and how I can help you and your brand then please feel free to get in touch!

Fractional CMO | GTM, Positioning, Demand Gen | Fintech, Crypto, Web3

Manchester, United Kingdom
$150 per hour
210 jobs
$90K+ total earnings

Fractional CMO for founder-led fintech, crypto and Web3 companies. One to two days a week - senior enough to set direction, hands-on enough to write the work myself. Most founder-led companies in complex markets do not have a product problem. They have a positioning problem. The homepage leads with the mechanism instead of the outcome, the strongest proof sits below the fold, and every serious conversation still needs twenty minutes of founder context. WHAT I OWN I decide what your marketing should argue, build enough of it to prove the argument works, then hire and manage whoever runs it. Not an agency executing someone else's plan. Not a freelancer taking briefs. WHAT LANDS ON YOUR DESK Named, prioritised assets - not a deck of opinions: 1. Final positioning - one page, decided, not a menu of options 2. Hero direction - what the homepage leads with, and why 3. Messaging hierarchy - first, second, third, ranked by commercial weight 4. Proof sequence - which facts, numbers and logos land in what order 5. Feature hierarchy - prioritised, not listed 6. Funnel recommendation - what happens after someone reads the page 7. Kill list - what to remove, decisive enough to act on without a debate BUILT FROM YOUR EVIDENCE, NOT MY OPINIONS Before I write anything I go through what you already have: beta feedback, sales-call notes, support tickets, churn reasons, analytics, and the objections that keep coming up. The positioning comes out of your own customer evidence, which is why you can defend it internally without taking my word for it. If you do not have that material yet, I will tell you what to collect and how. RECEIPTS - NAGA Group AG, a Frankfurt-listed fintech. Head of Content through a $65m ICO with 63,000+ backers. - Tipser. Built the content engine from zero; acquired by Bolt. - IOPn. Co-founder. Negotiated a $100m UAE government partnership CEO to CEO, plus a joint venture with ADX-listed Phoenix Group. - Megavrse. Co-founder and COO. Binance, Polygon, Chainlink, Filecoin. Arabian Business Start-Up of the Year 2024. - Token launches. KOL campaigns across Peaq, Simon's Cat, Solv and Sugar Boy. - Current: Crypto Snack and N3ON Sports. WHERE I AM NOT THE RIGHT PERSON I am not a lawyer, a compliance specialist or an engineer. If your problem is regulatory approval or a technical build, I will say so on the first call rather than take the work. Start with a paid diagnostic - five days, fixed price, the assets above - or bring me in one to two days a week on an ongoing basis. Tell me what you are selling and who keeps not getting it, and I will tell you which one you need.
