"We hired Jesse to be our chief marketing consultant for all things digital and direct response. He helped shift our culture to a more measurement and testing focus while ramping up our D2C sales. His paid media campaigns and conversion-oriented landing pages delivered big wins for us during a very competitive market. Jesse was a strong mentor to our team and a pleasure to work with."

“I run a massive criminal defense law firm in South Florida with offices over 4 counties. To say that my team has the best SEO and marketing manager in Jesse is to totally understate his value to this business. He is a godsend. There for us always, reliable, trustworthy, and downright brilliant. If you want to grow your company and if you are serious about your company in the slightest, please don’t give your money to anyone else. Give Jesse your credit card info and let him run it every month. You will be glad you did.”

I highly recommend Jesse for your marketing needs."
