Chief Executive Officer

Linknlearn - Acquired by Impactable in 2021

Linknlearn was started as a Linkedin lead generation agency and then was acquired in 2021. We served over 1,000+ clients before the sale. 

We started out as a scrappy freelance team and then grow to an agency with a global reach. 

After the acquisition, I've stayed on as part-owner and CEO as we pivot into Linkedin ads, data, and a more comprehensive multi-channel marketing approach.

Founder/CMO @ Impactable - B2B LinkedIn Ads Agency | Acquired in 2021 | 2x Acquisitions in 2024 | Making things up as I go

From Restaurant Hustle to LinkedIn Agency Founder → Acquired → Now Scaling the #1 LinkedIn Ads Agency

I went from serving tables to serving over 1,000 clients in 30+ countries - and building an agency that was acquired in an all-cash buyout.

Starting in the restaurant industry, I had a hunger for something more (pun intended). I turned to LinkedIn to document my journey and connect with people. That content led to job offers, investor conversations, and even a deal to co-launch a restaurant franchise.

I saw the power of LinkedIn firsthand and started helping others. That side hustle turned into Linknlearn, a global lead gen agency built entirely through Upwork and LinkedIn outreach. I became the #1 ranked LinkedIn expert on Upwork, launched a $500 website, and scaled the agency internationally.

In 2021, we were acquired. We pivoted to LinkedIn Ads, launched new tech tools, and Impactable was born.

Today, I lead Impactable — a LinkedIn-Centric B2B Marketing Agency and creators of DemandSense, our proprietary LinkedIn Ads platform. We’ve been recognized by LinkedIn, invited to speak at their Indie Agency Summit, and continue working toward deeper partnerships with their team.

💡 What I’m Focused On Now

👉 Helping B2B brands scale with LinkedIn + Google + Programmatic full-funnel campaigns
👉 Working with clients spending $5K–$200K/month in ad budget to scale high-value pipelines
👉 Building smarter offers, audiences, and funnels through our 90-Day Validation Sprints
👉 Empowering internal marketers with DemandSense: ad scheduling, audience testing, and signal tracking for LinkedIn Ads

Really shocked by how easy this AI reporting tool was to use and get value from - could easily remove 10-20 hours of dashboard creation.

I didn’t expect this

If your agency is running paid media, you already know:
the campaigns aren’t the problem.
The reporting is.

Connecting LinkedIn, Google, YouTube.
Pulling numbers into sheets.
Fixing dashboards every time a connector breaks.

Most teams burn a full workweek on this every single month.
Here’s the part that surprised me:
I connected my channels - Google, LinkedIn Ads, GA4, Youtube to start.

With a simple prompt “create a multi-channel dashboard that focuses on reach and penetration…AI got to work and built something…that actually had valuable insights quickly.

-Showing best + worst campaigns
-Showing best + worst performing keywords
-Creating good-looking graphs that show trends
-Showing tables + pie graphs making insights easy to spot

Even editing the tables and widgets is super easy and intuitive.

As an agency owner, that’s the difference between building reports…
and simply reading an AI-generated dashboard that lands in seconds.

Honestly the fastest time-to-value I’ve had with a reporting tool in years.

Comment “Tool”, I’ll send the setup link.

Quick note: I’m starting to document my AI experiments publicly.

I’m tired of half-baked AI posts and flashy n8n templates that look cool but do nothing. 

I want to show what actually works in B2B: the messy data, the ingestion hacks, the governance, and the small, repeatable experiments that actually move the needle.

Right now we’re building three agents at Impactable: 
1. LinkedIn Ads Expert Agent
2. Company Support Agent
3. Copywriting Agent

Not an expert here but I believe I'm getting a lot more clarity where the most practical applications of AI are for most orgs and what makes sense for us. 

I'm guessing this could be helpful for others looking to understand what's possible and what might make sense for you/your org. 

I’ll be posting regular updates as we build, test, and break things (and oh will things get broken lol).

Open article: Building our First Real AI Agent - (And Where You Could Start) by Justin Rowe • 10 min read

Building our First Real AI Agent - (And Where You Could Start)

It’s November. Targets for next year are going up.
Your marketing budget probably isn’t.

If leadership just asked you to grow pipeline by 30% without growing spend, you are not getting there with “more cold.”

You get there by squeezing every drop out of the warm audiences and first party data you already paid for.

Here is how I’d use the last 4-5 weeks of the year 👇

1️⃣ Map the warm demand you already have
Before you touch budgets, answer:

“If I had to show sales the top 50–100 warm accounts to go all‑in on this quarter… could I?”

-Open a doc and list:
-Open opps (especially mid/late that went quiet in the last 60–90 days)
-Closed‑lost for timing/budget, not bad fit
-Accounts on pricing / demo / comparison / integration pages in the last 30 days
-Trials or freemium users with strong usage
-Engaged subscribers, webinar attendees
-Companies that keep showing up across content + LinkedIn


Rough tier it:
Tier A = high fit, high intent
Tier B = high fit, medium intent
Tier C = medium fit, earlier stage

That’s your warm universe. You already paid for it.

2️⃣ Rebalance from “more cold” to “better warm”
Most ad accounts right now:

-60–80% of spend on cold
-Warm retargeting underfunded or on autopilot
-Success defined as CPL and lead volume

If you need more pipeline on a flat budget, that math does not work.

For the rest of Q4 I’d:
-Push 30–40% of paid budget into Tier A + B
-Protect branded search so competitors don’t close the deals you warmed up
-Judge cold by how many new warm accounts it creates, not just cheap leads

Cold fills tomorrow’s warm pool.
Warm protects CAC today.

3️⃣ Give warm audiences something better than a generic ad
Tier A/B don’t need another “who we are” explainer.

They need:
-Proof
-Clarity
-Help making the internal case


Think:

-Thought‑leader ads from you/your execs: “How we’d use the next 90 days if we were in your seat”
-Short videos that call out CAC / pipeline pressure and show a concrete path
-Landing pages that assume they’re evaluating, not discovering you for the first time

By January, a warm account should feel:
“Of course we’re seeing you, and of course this is relevant right now.”

If you want the structured, in‑depth version of this (warm‑audience mapping, budget models, creative examples, reporting that survives CFO scrutiny), that’s exactly what I break down in my new on‑demand CXL course on building a warm‑audience‑first B2B ecosystem that actually lowers CAC.

You can find the link to this course and other useful resources in my profile resource link (i'll include in comments too). 

But even if you never touch the course, using the rest of this year to:

-Map your warm demand
-Rebalance spend
-Upgrade what warm accounts see

…will put you in a much better spot when Q1 hits.

You can find the link to the CXL course here - https://lnkd.in/gQWzYwYb

Vector’s ghost mascot isn’t just a quirky idea. 
It’s proof that emotion drives every purchase, even in B2B.

When I spoke with Jess Cook, Head of Marketing at Vector, she told me the ghost mascot wasn’t created by marketing. 

It came straight from their CEO, Joshua Perk 👻.

𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵.

Before a single marketing hire, Joshua and COO Nick Masters had already built a brand that felt human with bold colors, personality, and a tone that stood out from the industry’s usual gray.

Jess knew instantly that was a brand she wanted to help grow.

Because it’s rare to see a B2B company act like a consumer brand, focusing on connection and likability first.

And that’s exactly why it works.

Be the brand people actually 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 to root for.

More traffic 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 the answer.
𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀.

We’re entering an era where privacy laws limit what you can 𝘴𝘦𝘦… but they don’t limit what you can 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥.

Your website visitors used to leave a trail of data you could use to personalize, retarget, and convert.

Now? 
𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨.

Which is why we’re seeing a shift from “collect everything” to “create assets so good, people 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 to identify themselves.”

So the question becomes:
What are you offering that’s 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 an email address?

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗗𝗙𝘀.

Start building:
📘 Playbooks they’ll bookmark
📩 Newsletters they’ll forward
🧠 Resources they’ll remember

The brands that win will be the ones who stop 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 for data and 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 with content that leads to connection.

#FirstPartyData #AudienceBuilding #B2BMarketing #LeadGeneration #Impactable #OwnYourAudience

B2B Marketing isn’t about algorithms or ad types. 
It’s about people.

Before running a LinkedIn ads agency, I ran restaurants. And I learned quickly that if you want to build something great, it starts with people.

You need to create an environment where good people can thrive. 

You need to understand what motivates them, how they work, and what they need to succeed.

That same principle applies to marketing. 
You’re still serving people, just in a different way.

When you understand your audience deeply, you create content that feels natural to them. 

And if it works organically, it deserves to be amplified with ads.

It’s simple: 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲-𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲-𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Build for people first, and everything else follows.

The best marketers don’t always start in marketing.

When I sat down with Selim Maalouf, Director of Marketing at HarvestROI, we talked about how his journey into marketing was anything but traditional.

He started as an industrial engineer, designing robotic and packaging solutions for seven years before realizing his creative side needed an outlet. 

That’s when he pivoted into marketing.

What gave him an edge? Subject matter expertise.

He already understood the industrial audience, the products, and the challenges, so creating meaningful content didn’t require endless back-and-forth with SMEs.

Over time, that blend of technical knowledge and marketing skill made him both a strong strategist and a HubSpot expert.

Selim’s story is a reminder that the best marketers often come from unexpected places.

Your background is your superpower. Use it to make your marketing sharper, smarter, and more human.

In the age of AI, the most valuable thing your brand can own is its original thinking.

In a recent live chat with Jess Cook, Head of Marketing at Vector, she shared a concept that really stuck with me: 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝗣.

In a world where anyone can produce a blog post or social clip with a few prompts, the question becomes:
What are the things only 𝘺𝘰𝘶 can say?

What insights, experiences, or opinions are so rooted in your brand and expertise that no one else could copy them even if they tried?

That’s your moat.

Your 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝗣 is what separates you from the noise, and the smartest brands are building around it.

The work that no one wants to do is often the work that makes the biggest impact.

In a recent conversation with Selim Maalouf, Director of Marketing at HarvestROI, we talked about what happens when HubSpot customers hit a breaking point.

Selim’s team, a HubSpot Diamond Partner, gets called in when accounts are at risk of churning.

Their approach starts with a five-tier framework:
1️⃣ Data architecture
2️⃣ Process design
3️⃣ Enablement and adoption
4️⃣ Reporting and analytics
5️⃣ Strategic growth

By fixing the foundation first, they turn broken systems into growth engines. It’s hard work, but it’s what makes everything else possible.

Sometimes the hardest work is the most rewarding. 
Lean into the unglamorous problems everyone else ignores.

You can’t trust your reports if you can’t trust your data.

In my conversation with Selim Maalouf, Director of Marketing at HarvestROI, he shared one of the biggest mistakes he sees in HubSpot.

Companies buy the platform, skip the setup, and dive straight into reporting.

But without clean data, clear processes, and team-wide adoption, your dashboards are just colorful noise.

Selim’s team helps companies rebuild from the ground up, starting with solid data architecture, then process design, then enablement.

Once that foundation is in place, the reports finally tell the truth.

Don’t chase better reporting. Build better systems.

#RevOps #HubSpot #DataQuality #MarketingOperations #Impactable

How precise does your b2b marketing data get?

Lately, I've been exploring technographic data – a tool that’s reshaping how I approach marketing personalization.

Technographic data refers to information that describes a company's current technology stack, including the software, platforms, tools, and technologies they use to run their business.

This data can reveal insights into a company's operations, technological capabilities, preferences, potential needs, and challenges.

For instance, knowing a company uses WordPress not only tells us about their web platform choice, but can also indicate specific challenges they face, from security concerns to customization issues.

Rather than a generic pitch, you can address their unique situation with a solution that fits perfectly.

👉 This level of personalized outreach doesn't just get attention; it positions you as an expert.

You're already halfway through the door by demonstrating an understanding of their tools and challenges, shifting from a cold outreach to a meaningful conversation starter.

#DigitalMarketing #TechnographicData #Personalization #MarketingStrategy

It takes 30-45 days to see ROI when you retarget your cold layer with programmatic ads.

Since you’re relying on other sources to bring quality cold traffic to your TOFU, your programmatic ads help to warm up/nurture an already warm audience that’s shown some level of intent

That’s when you’ll see a good view to conversions... but there’s one problem. 

The programmatic ads overstate the results because the placement is so good that it takes credit for a lot of conversions

For example, you might think that everyone who booked a call from the ads came from the programmatic ads

Programmatic ads have so much distribution that you can almost guarantee that it’ll be part of the journey

To accurately track programmatic ads, track the noticeable lifts (e.g. 13% lift in call bookings)

Everything else should be the same because programmatic ads make other campaigns more effective by nurturing/warming up the cold layer much faster.

--

Start with $2,000 per month on display ads, native programmatic, and CTV, and see people get saturated with our ads.

Just because someone sees one ad doesn’t mean that all the programmatic ads convert.

Chief Marketing Officer

JZ Consulting

Helping B2B brands and individuals become more visible and get more clients using LinkedIn. 70% of my clients hire me to help them with content (mostly video), 20% with ads, and 10% with outreach.

Demandi.co

At Demandi, I helped over 300 B2B founders, execs, and teams create nearly 2,000 videos — from individuals just starting out to people inside publicly traded companies.

I built the MVP, led operations, and was responsible for revenue and pipeline generation. I designed and ran our entire content production system — from idea capture to final delivery — working closely with video editors, automations, and AI tools.

I developed complex AI prompting workflows to turn raw voice notes and videos into high-converting LinkedIn content, and continuously refined our go-to-market strategy through direct experimentation — mostly on LinkedIn.

From product to pipeline, I helped turn Demandi into a repeatable system for scaling thought leadership with speed and clarity.

Co-Founder & COO

Speak On Podcasts

ACQUIRED IN DECEMBER 2022 BY CHAPMAN CAPITAL: Over 3,500 podcast interviews booked with top B2B brands like Gong, Paddle, Genesys, and more. Speak On Podcasts quickly became one of the leading podcast booking agencies in the game.

I stayed on for 12 months post-acquisition, working directly with our clients to ensure everything ran smoothly and our systems kept delivering results.

ACQUIRED AGAIN IN APRIL 2025 BY FAME: After the second acquisition, Speak On Podcasts was fully integrated into Fame as a "Fame Connect".

Co-Founder

PitchGround

Pitchground is a community-first platform for launching and growing Saas companies. We believe in growing sustainable businesses through practical education and providing a ton of value. 

I'm responsible for the overall marketing strategy, lead generation, content marketing (including weekly video shootings), leading team of juniors, and more fun stuff!

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. 70% of my clients hire me to help them with content (mostly video), 20% with ads, and 10% with outreach.

I live in the Czech Republic with my wife. I have type 1 diabetes. I run and work out. 🙂

Helping SaaS brands reach new partners with PartnerOutreach.io

I haven't posted for over a month. Yet, yesterday alone, I got 16 new leads at $1.4 each. All through LinkedIn WITHOUT sending a single DM. Here's the exact 5-step strategy I used:

✅ Step 1: Build a free lead magnet others would charge for

The issue with most lead magnets is that they are not valuable enough. So people give you their email, get the thing, open it (maybe), and close it because it's sh*t. To make this strategy work, you have to build something that is REALLY valuable and useful

✅ Step 2: Package it the right way

My lead magnet is a step-by-step breakdown of how I get reach without relying on the algorithm. I intentionally positioned it as a "Guaranteed Reach System" vs. "LinkedIn Ads" because people already have a lot of inaccurate assumptions about running ads on LinkedIn.

✅ Step 3: Build a simple landing page

Don't overcomplicate it... Add a simple headline "How to/I [good thing] without [bad thing]", 3 things they'll learn, and opt-in form. Don't forget to set up tracking.

✅ Step 4: Post about your lead magnet and include your landing page URL

Either package the lead magnet into a story post (like I'm doing right now) or promote it directly using a direct-response marketing style ad. It can be literally something as simple as: "If you are X, then this is relevant because of Y. Get it here: URL"

✅ Step 5: Set up cheap Thought Leader ads to drive traffic to this post

The minimum you have to spend is $10/day. Make sure you dial in the audience targeting. You can either use the built-in audience builder in LinkedIn Ads Manager OR pull the list from Apollo/Sales Nav and upload it as a custom audience.

(See what I did there?:)

DISCLAIMER: The results for your industry and offer will vary. The reason why it works so well for me is because I offer a painful LinkedIn-related problem that almost everyone on LinkedIn struggles with: LOW REACH. But even if replicating my CPL isn’t realistic for your industry/offer, you can still drive leads or calls at a very efficient cost if you dedicate enough time to creating a strong lead magnet.

Founder @ JZ Consulting | LinkedIn Content & Ads for B2B Founders | 300+ clients since 2019, incl. Canva, Gong, Alleyoop, and more.

My hand almost froze off… but it needed to be said! 🥶😅

Here’s what I do when I need to book calls FAST

1. Open my first degree connections
2. Find all people I can potentially work with
3. Send them a short video note without the fluff
4. Follow up in 3 days with “Did you watch the video?”
5. Repeat until I run out of people to reach out to (or my time)

Things to be aware of:

💡 If you’re not used to recording videos, prepare to do multiple takes. A 1-min video can easily take you 5–8 minutes. Good news - it gets better over time. Better news - imperfections make you real.

💡 Sales Navigator is the best because it allows you to filter out the first degree connections + much more stuff than free/premium versions of LinkedIn.

💡 If you don’t have Sales Nav, get a free trial. If you already used a trial, buy it. If you can’t afford it, at least use some basic boolean search in your free version.

💡 The desktop version of LinkedIn doesn’t allow native video recording. So to record videos, use Quibbly or record everything using the Linkedin app on your phone.

💡 Keep the videos relevant. If you need meetings fast, don’t waste time with niceties. This format works: “Hi, here’s what I do, here’s specifically why it’s relevant for you, here’s how I know, here’s what to do now.”

💡 If you don’t track your outreach, set up some simple system in Google Sheet. Columns: Prospect, Status, LinkedIn URL, Last Contact, Notes. Don’t overcomplicate it.

Yes, it’s a lot of work.

But it’s better to do the work than run out of work.
