Black Swan Agency

I lead a dynamic team at the forefront of revolutionizing the online education sector through innovative digital marketing strategies.

In my five-year tenure in the online realm, I have collaborated with rapidly growing B2B and B2C coaching and consulting firms. My role has been pivotal in overhauling their marketing systems and scaling their monthly revenues to hundreds of thousands, primarily through paid social campaigns. Impressively, I have managed over $50 million in digital advertising spend for clients and partners, a responsibility I approach with utmost seriousness and dedication.

My approach to scaling a business is straightforward yet effective: I employ a methodical process that involves careful planning, development, and the introduction of new revenue streams. This process also includes the critical evaluation and enhancement of existing revenue programs to ensure their long-term viability and success.

Founder

Hemon Media Group

I had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with some of the most talented and innovative minds in the marketing industry during my tenure at Hemon. In the span of a few years, I managed accounts with daily budgets ranging from $500 a day to an impressive $100,000 a day in performance ad spend. The reputation of the Hemon team as pioneers in direct response marketing is well-deserved and something I experienced firsthand.

Throughout my time there, I worked with a diverse range of brands, including Click Funnels, LadyBoss, Clients and Community, RedLine Steel, Steel Supplements, Voomly, Toonly, Kristin Boss, Flow Research Collective, Legendary Marketer, CardoMax, Trusy, Tower Leadership, Nutritional Coaching Institute, among many others. 

My career progression at Hemon was rapid and enriching, advancing from a Junior Media Buyer to a Senior Media Buyer, and eventually to a Senior Strategist. The knowledge and experience I gained through this journey were truly remarkable.

Senior Strategist

Elite CEOs

At Elite CEOs, I experienced a remarkable journey of professional growth and development in the field of marketing. Initially joining the team with a foundational understanding of the industry, I rapidly advanced to managing high-value accounts with daily spends ranging from $5,000 to $10,000. As one of the inaugural members of the agency, I was privileged to play a pivotal role in shaping its future.

I had the unique opportunity to not only enhance my own skills but also contribute significantly to the development of the agency's systems and processes. This experience at Elite CEOs was not just about personal growth; it was about being part of something bigger, helping to lay the groundwork for an agency poised for success.
