Thanks for taking a look at my profile.
-I am a digital marketing expert that enjoys helping businesses grow through analysis and content generation.
-I research and understand audiences, build content libraries, then I pair that content with strategic SEO campaigns, paid media, social media, email marketing, PR partnerships, and mindful content syndication.
-Then I analyze, optimize, and reallocate for continuous improvement.
-I build multi-channel funnels, landing pages, run A/B tests, CRO campaigns, and do work within CRMs.
-I connect marketing to the sales pipeline to accelerate the sales pipeline, filling in data gaps.
-I can do lead scoring and buyer intent.
-I do it all, and I'm happy to do any of this for you.
*A little about me*
Sneaky Strategist:
My favorite compliment from a coworker or client when I am explaining a strategy is “wow, glad you’re on our side.” :)
On Collaboration, Ego, and Data:
I am a low ego collaborator. I think data is more important than my opinions. I believe you should always start with a best practice if you can, have a hypothesis, then let the analytics guide your decisions.
On Delivery, Communication, and Ethics:
I’m not sure whether everyone likes me, but I think most everyone would say, “with Mal, what you see is what you get.” If I say I will do something, you can expect that I will do it.
-I treat people with courtesy, kindness, and respect because it’s the right thing to do. And I do the right thing because doing the right thing feels good.
My toolbox:
-HubSpot CMS, Marketing Automation, CRM
-MailChimp
-Constant Contact
-Ahrefs
-SEMRush
-Inlinks
-Screaming Frog
-WAIKAY
-GA4
-Google Search Console
-Many More!
