How I Can Help You Grow 🚀

  1. Hire me as your Fractional CMO. Not only can I help develop your growth strategy, align marketing and sales teams, and develop customer journey maps, I can also create and execute high-impact campaigns, audit your tech stack and make sure you’re leveraging the right data to measure success.

  2. Generate Leads through BLKBOOK Events. When you sponsor an industry-specific virtual speed networking event, I handle the outreach and set up targeted campaigns to get your ideal customers to show up. Then, you can hand-pick who you want to meet face-to-face with.

  3. Earn Commission & Shared Revenue. Want to attend BLKBOOK events for free and get paid? Become an affiliate and start earning commissions on ticket sales and sponsorship referrals.

  4. Hire me as your Virtual Event Consultant. From a small half day summit to a full 5 day conference, I’ve organized, managed and produced a variety of virtual events. I can help with sourcing speakers, running tech checks, marketing and even hiring additional production assistants.
