What I do

EMAIL / CRM

Email & lifecycle

List growth, welcome and launch sequences, and campaigns built to be opened and clicked. I've scaled a list from 90k to 170k at a 25% open rate.

SEARCH

SEO

Search Console monitoring, non-brand growth, and the quick wins that move first. Reporting short enough that you'll actually read it.

CONTENT

Content & editorial

Blog, newsletters, and the strategy behind them. Written to rank and to be read, not to hit a word count.

ORGANIC

Organic social

Channel and community growth. I took one brand's Instagram from 18k to 52k without paid spend.

DESIGN

Design & landing pages

Figma to Webflow. Landing pages, email templates, and campaign assets that ship and convert.

CAMPAIGNS

Campaigns end to end

Brief, build, send, measure. I run the whole launch and pull the teams together when it needs it.

Organic social

Instagram, 18k to 52k

Grew an audio-software brand's Instagram from 18k to 52k followers organically, with a content system the in-house team could keep running.

SEO
Search

A weekly SEO system

Built a Search Console workflow that separates brand from non-brand traffic, surfaces quick wins, and reports week-over-week movement the team can act on.

About

I'm JJ, a marketer with about seven years running content, email, and SEO in-house for a software company in the audio industry. I've led a five-person team and represented the brand at NAMM and NAB.

I also produce electronic music and I'm doing a PhD in it. That's where the channel-ownership instinct comes from: I'd rather build an audience you keep than rent one that disappears when the budget stops.

I take on a small amount of freelance work alongside my main role, so I'm selective about projects and I do the work myself.
