Services
I build the process that finds, convinces and keeps customers, in the field and online — every step tied to measurable goals.
Face to face with the client: needs analysis, proposal, negotiation and closing. I build new client portfolios and long-term, trust-based relationships with existing ones.
Audience, positioning and channel planning. I make sure marketing and the field sales team work toward the same goal.
Organic growth that doesn’t rely on paid ads: technical SEO, content and site performance — how my platforms grew to 750,000+ in monthly traffic.
I turn traffic into measurable revenue through programmatic ads, direct ad sales and sponsorship deals.
Editorial planning, calculators, quizzes and community design — content that answers exactly what customers are looking for.
I also own the technical side that supports sales and marketing: custom PHP software, automation, and secure infrastructure that stays up through traffic spikes.

About
I have spent about 16 years in marketing and sales. To me, a sale isn’t a one-off transaction; it’s finding the right client, truly understanding their needs and building a long-term relationship of trust.
I combined that field experience with the digital side, turning the publishing platforms I built into revenue through SEO, advertising and sponsorship sales. Today I run the whole process myself — from marketing strategy and field sales to content and infrastructure.

Field sales and business development, marketing strategy, digital marketing and SEO, ad and sponsorship sales, content and publishing, plus the web, software and infrastructure that support sales.
Building new client portfolios, client visits and needs analysis, proposals, negotiation and closing, and post-sale relationship management — and making sure the field team and marketing work toward the same goal.
Because clients don’t decide in a single channel. Marketing creates demand and finds the right clients; field sales turns that demand into trust and signed deals. Managed as one strategy, costs go down and closing rates go up.
Yes. I review direct advertising and sponsorship requests for the finance, technology and parenting platforms by email.
