Field Manager

Hands-on Marketing and Content Leader - A content optimization specialist turned generalist, there isn't a type of content I haven't experimented with

A creative trained in the technical world, I began my marketing career as an SEO Specialist studying algorithms and driving up organic traffic. In short order, I worked my way up through several agency promotions to be an SEO content strategist.

As the main point of contact, serving 10 to 15 SaaS companies at any given time, my interests expanded from algorithms and content to integrated content strategies, newsletters, CRO, and social (which is probably how you found my profile). This evolution of my career trajectory was a natural process as a result of 2 questions.

1. How do I offer consultative advice for marketing strategies and tactics that support the companies I work for beyond offering SEO services?

2. How do I become a Director of Content, a Growth Marketing Director, or a CMO one day?

My solution: I moved horizontally into a Marketing Manager role where I can play an active part in paid, social, email, optimized content, case studies, partnership discussions, podcasting, branding and design decisions, and work cross-functionally with a sales teams.

Cheers to continued success and a never-ending journey of learning. And let me know if I can ever be of help to you and your team!

Admeup Digital Academy LLC. Your digital transformation management by experts.

Admeup Digital Academy laid down the foundation for my digital marketing career. I was able to understand what digital marketing is all about, the necessary skills needed to boost my creativity level to a point where I felt ready to taste the waters. Becoming a certified digital marketer was and is still the Goal, and not having the means to get certified didn't stop me, as I was able to roll my sleeves up and teach myself what I needed to know. Before I knew it, I was freelancing my skills to small and medium startup companies. Thank you, ADA
