Hi, I’m Henri 👋 I build marketing, growth, and business systems that have generated 7-figure revenue growth for companies from Fortune 100 brands to SMBs. Highlights: → Grew revenue from $250K to $2.5M at MediaComEssence (WPP) → Generated $2.2M in pipeline for Pritchard Industries → Grew SEO revenue 100% YoY ($500K+) at Resolution Media → Increased affiliate revenue 40% and partnership revenue 200% at Ziff Media/Mashable ——— Here’s what I actually do (and how I can help you): I build AI agents, automations, and custom applications using Claude Code, GPT-5, n8n, Make, GoHighLevel, APIs, and modern AI development tools. What I build: - AI sales agents for lead qualification, follow-up & booking - CRM, pipeline & nurture automation - AI customer service & voice agents - Internal AI assistants & knowledge systems - Automated onboarding, reporting & operations - Custom integrations, API workflows & AI-powered apps But you’re not just hiring an automation specialist. I’ve run my own business for 20 years, served as an executive at leading media companies, built and transformed growth systems at Foundry, Galvanized Media, MediaComEssence, and Ziff Media Group, and coached business owners on growth and strategy. I’ve also led marketing work for Upwork, JPMorgan Chase, Audi, Volkswagen, Bose, Colgate, TUMS, Flonase, NicoDerm, and dozens of SMBs. So I don’t just automate what you’re already doing. I understand marketing, GTM, sales, and the larger growth ecosystem—and build systems around where your business is trying to go. If you need someone who can help think through the strategy and build the system, I’d love to chat.

Organizations 📸 Photographers 📱 Social Media Agencies 👓 Mixed Reality Agencies 🚚 Moving Companies 🏅 Coaches & Consultants 🏘️ Real Estate Agencies === Philosophy === My philosophy hinges on the belief that a robust SEO presence begins with a strong technical foundation. Before diving into the nuanced strategies of SEO, I prioritize ensuring that your website is technically sound, providing the solid groundwork necessary for all subsequent optimization. Next, the focus shifts to maximizing your content authority, working meticulously to enhance the depth, breadth, and value of your content, positioning your website prominently within Google's Knowledge Graph. Content is King and is the backbone to a sound and evergreen SEO strategy. Lastly, I view link-building not as a default strategy, but a tactical tool deployed only when truly needed. My approach to link-building is rooted in the 'less is more' principle, emphasizing the importance of quality over quantity. I only leverage verified, authoritative websites to forge these crucial digital connections, thereby ensuring your links are not just numerous, but also credible and influential. === Roadmap to SEO Success === 📞 Consult 🔎 SEO Audit 📖 Strategize ✅ Execute 📣 Promote === Other SEO Services === Understanding that each client has unique needs and circumstances, not all require an extensive SEO campaign.

I utilize my deep understanding of the platform to enhance site structure, speed, mobile compatibility, and content for superior SEO performance. ==== After SEO ==== SEO is often the starting point of a comprehensive digital marketing strategy, setting the stage for a myriad of other complementary initiatives. By commencing with SEO, your digital marketing efforts can be further amplified in areas such as: - Content Marketing* - Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Advertising* - Affiliate Marketing* - Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)* - Social Media Marketing - Email Marketing - Online Reputation Management - Influencer Marketing * - While I do not directly offer services for all of the above, I do have vast experience with those items marked with an asterisk. I can also refer other top-rated freelancers and agencies to fulfill these other needs. Very much appreciate you taking the time to review my profile -Christian ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
