About

A creative leader who can also ship the system.

Most marketing leaders run brand or performance. I do both — and I can build the technology that connects them.

I've directed national broadcast campaigns and personally written the PHP that powered a custom SMS coupon platform years before the category existed. I've co-developed three generations of POS infrastructure and produced cinematic drone work. I've translated CAD site plans into illustrated graphics that became a developer's primary sales tool, and I've designed UX for federal research labs.

That range matters because modern marketing leadership is systems thinking. The job isn't picking between brand and growth, creative and analytics, agency and in-house — it's wiring them together so they compound. That's what I've spent 28+ years doing, and that's what I bring to a CMO or VP of Marketing seat.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What kind of role is Jason looking for?

Chief Marketing Officer, VP of Marketing & Creative, or other senior marketing leadership at multi-location consumer brands, franchises, DTC, and enterprise. Geographic preference: Florida, with willingness to relocate.

What makes Jason different from other senior marketing candidates?

Most senior marketers are either brand-led or growth-led — and almost none can ship technical infrastructure themselves. Jason has 28+ years doing all three: directing national campaigns, running performance marketing, and personally building the custom software (POS systems, SMS platforms, MVC frameworks) that powered them.

What is Jason's current role and what has he delivered there?

Digital Marketing Director and Creative Director at Loudon County Fence (2025–present), a 50-year-old, $20M regional business with no prior digital presence. In year one: +57% organic search clicks YoY, average search position improved 17.3 spots, click-through rate doubled across all campaigns, Instagram grew from 0 to 6,800+ daily views, Facebook reach exceeded 177,000. Built full SEO architecture, secured the Google Guaranteed badge, and manages 11 marketing platforms simultaneously.
