I also have a strong focus on psychology and sales, which helps me to analyze your target demographic and craft your message in a way that will maximize your conversion rates on landing pages or elsewhere. While Upwork no longer supports Brainbench third-party skills certifications, when they were available, I was rated as one of the top 50 most proficient business writers in the entire USA.

I have a proven track record of success with SEO, SEM, SMM, & PPC campaigns, website design, analytics of all sorts, UX/UI optimization, and more. I can help your business design an online marketing program from scratch, or be plugged into your existing efforts wherever you may need additional help or support.

Last but not least, you might be in need of a fractional CMO or a general business consultant; someone who can help you make sense of the big picture.

I can assist you with these projects, and more. All of my strategic advice is predicated on in-depth research and cutting-edge data analysis, and focuses on demonstrating clear ROI to clients as soon as possible. So if you find yourself in need of top-quality content of any sort, assistance developing or implementing a successful modern marketing campaign, a fractional CMO, or a business consultant to help you navigate a particularly thorny development, please reach out to me.
