Chief Marketing Officer

Back in March 2020, I co-founded Speak On Podcasts with a partner from the UK. We grew it into one of the world’s leading agencies for booking podcast interviews, securing over 2,500 appearances for more than 125 leaders from top B2B brands like Canva, Gong, Paddle, and Toggl.

In December 2022, Chapman Capital acquired the agency (source). I stayed on for over a year to ensure a smooth transition and maintain high service quality for our clients. In April 2025, the business was acquired again — this time by UK company Fame (source), which integrated the agency and team into its portfolio under the name “Fame Connect.”

In 2024, I co-founded Demandi.co with a partner from the US. As COO, I helped over 300 B2B professionals create nearly 2,000 short LinkedIn videos. I built the MVP, ran operations, and drove revenue and pipeline growth. I stepped away voluntarily due to a difference in vision with my co-founder.

LinkedIn has been a key acquisition channel in both businesses. I’ve tested it all — posting daily for 188 days straight, reaching out to 50+ people a day, and most recently, running paid ads. All of it generated deals worth over $1M.

Today, I work independently, helping B2B brands and individuals become more visible and get more clients using LinkedIn.

How I get leads for $1.40 each on LinkedIn.

Not $50. Not $20. $1.40.

Here's the system:

Step 1: Create genuinely valuable content.

Posts that help my ICP solve real problems.

Not sales pitches. Not "hire me" posts.

Real insights they can use immediately.

Step 2: Add a soft CTA.

At the end: "Want the full system? Free guide here: [link]"

Not pushy. Just an option for people who want more.

Step 3: Promote to my exact ICP.

$20-30/day in Thought Leader Ads.

Custom audience of founders, executives, B2B professionals.

Only showing to people who might actually want what I offer.

Step 4: Track everything.

People click the link → land on guide page → download guide → join my email list.

That's a lead.

The math:

~$600/month ad spend.

~400-500 new leads per month.

$1.20-1.50 per lead.

Compare to:

LinkedIn lead gen ads: $30-50 per lead.

Google ads: $20-100 per lead.

Cold outreach: Hours of time + tools + often zero response.

Why does this work?

Because the "ad" is just my content.

It doesn't feel like marketing.

It feels like value.

People engage because it's genuinely helpful.

Then they want more.

No hard sell. No pressure.

Just good content → right audience → natural next step.

That's the whole system.

$1.40 leads.

If I were starting LinkedIn from zero today, here's exactly what I'd do:

Week 1-2: Content foundation.

Write 10 posts about problems my ICP faces.

Not generic advice. Specific situations. Real examples.

Post them organically to test which ones resonate.

Track which get engagement from relevant people (not just friends).

Week 3: Set up paid distribution.

Go to LinkedIn Ads Manager.

Build my exact ICP as a saved audience.

Create a cold campaign at $10/day.

Promote my 3 best-performing posts from weeks 1-2.

Week 4+: Scale what works.

Monitor which posts get the best engagement.

Add more winning posts to the campaign.

Increase budget on what's working.

Start a retargeting campaign for people who engaged.

Why this order matters:

Most people skip straight to posting more.

More content to the wrong audience = more wasted effort.

Or they try paid ads with untested content.

Burning money on posts that don't resonate.

The sequence is:

Test content organically → Identify winners → Amplify with paid.

Not: Post randomly → Hope → Get frustrated → Quit.

Timeline to results:

With this approach, you can have:

- Your ICP defined (Week 1)
- Content tested (Week 2)
- Paid distribution running (Week 3)
- First inbound conversations (Week 4-6)

6 weeks from zero to visible.

Not 6 months of hoping the algorithm notices you.

This is the playbook.

The question is whether you'll run it.

I'll give you a few accomplishments that I am proud of since I started here:

I noticed that our pricing model needed to be amended to better serve our clients. After taking time after work to research pricing strategies extensively, I got to work. With the help of another teammate, we cranked out this entire process within two weeks. 

The results? Two contracts were signed within the month. Oh, and our prices actually rose by over 300% too.

My other accomplishment I am proud of involves implementing new marketing channels during my first month with the team that broke our team record for most demos in a month. I had a hunch, did my research, considered our ICP for those channels, and generated 25% of our previous year's lead total. All within one month.

Of course, coronavirus nailed businesses shortly after that and we had to shift focus.

Digital Marketing Manager

RUF (Reformed University Fellowship)

I spent two years following my religious convictions, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. It also made me a better employee, co-worker, and marketer. People say soft skills are great, but people don't understand what it takes to acquire them. This role gave them away in bunches.

I learned how to have compassion for people that were different than me. Being a teammate that works differently with co-workers based on how they work best. Seeing jobs outside of my description that needed to get done, and doing them in a way that helped our team.

It also gave me a great understanding of raising funds and establishing regular touchpoints. During those two years, I raised $65,000+ in order to minister to students at Ole Miss. I had 100+ donors halfway through that process and established a monthly newsletter to thank and update my supporters.

I was directly responsible for increasing our vendor total from 25 to 85 while taking classes full-time as a graduating junior.

I helped grow event attendance from 150 attendees to 3,000+ within four months. Our primary marketing channel and campaign was our Facebook page, which I operated alone. Within a four month period, I built our following by 2,500+ followers.

If you check the reviews of the page, I think an old review from one of the vendors specifically mentions me and my work in vendor relations.

One of the projects that directly contributed to revenue involved our fledgling trivia night. My boss was axing it as I came on board, but I insisted that we keep it and make some changes that would turn it around. He allowed it based on one condition:

I take over as host too. I took on the challenge, made some changes that cut our costs while also increasing the profit that this weekly event brought in. The overall attendance increase? 300%.

Although it was a short summer, this experience had laid the foundation for understanding workload and studying the audience of each client that I worked with at this digital agency.

This was actually where I met my boss at BoardActive. He was my primary client, and we established a relationship that was built strong enough that he brought me back in-house when the opportunity presented itself.

Creating space for Medtech startups and investors to partner | Marketing Manager at LSI

I love making decisions that build trust, showcase expertise, and create differentiation. Picking apart the semantics of content. Creating unique marketing touchpoints that don't have 77 "Ultimate Guides" on the first page of Google. Researching how buyers frame an offering and then putting that in place. 

Challenging myself and my team is a recurring theme. Ensuring we make profitable decisions. Pushing against assumptions and norms. Finding new ways to make the day-to-day operations more efficient. 

As for my future? I wanna build something special. I'm spending my time learning by building something great with our team. That's my winning formula. Learn, grow, and actually get my hands dirty. Could take awhile. Most things that are worth it do.
