----- ----- -----
The longer version:
Hi, I'm Jack - I enjoy writing, asking questions about various niche subjects, & building automated systems that make companies more money by improving operational efficiency.
I've previously worked both as a freelancer and within a B2B marketing agency, where some of the accounts I managed routinely generated over $100k in monthly marketing attributed revenue. In the past 5 years, I've been fortunate to have worked with top-rated Amazon brands, companies featured on Shark Tank, and have dipped my feet in several different industries:
- Marketing & Advertising
- DTC eCommerce
- Artificial intelligence companies
- Newsletters
- Podcasts
- Even good old fashioned local service businesses
With AI replacing many writing tasks & marketing teams, I have fully immersed myself in low-code automation platforms like make.com and n8n; using various tools such as GPT-4, monday.com, Asana, ClickUp, Instantly, and even Google Sheets to give businesses more functionality without having to hire more employees.
When you work with me on Upwork, you receive thorough documentation, clear communication and a committed individual who is focused on 1) results and 2) building long-term relationships that are mutually beneficial.
I look forward to delivering your next writing or automation project - let me know if you have any questions and I'll be glad to connect.
Best,
Jack
