Hi there! My name is Blake. I’m a B2B Marketing Director with over 20 years of experience building brands, generating leads, and nurturing customers through their lifecycle. My passion is marketing. I love that it constantly evolves with society and technology, providing new challenges each year, and that it allows me to exercise both my creative and analytical sides. Over the course of my career, I’ve stayed at the forefront of change, through the rise of eCommerce, Google, Mobile Devices, Content Marketing, Social Media Marketing, the Digital Era, and, most recently, Marketing in Lockdown. I’ve seen the evolution and maturation of highly integrated, intelligent sales and marketing technologies, and enjoyed testing the boundaries of what’s possible. In addition to being a team leader, I also possess the breadth and depth of skills needed to mentor junior marketers and get the most out of senior marketers. And I still love getting my hands dirty with campaigns and other marketing initiatives. For over a decade, I’ve built and led a great marketing team and positively contributed to Planit's growth, as demonstrated by its ten-fold growth. My expertise: Marketing Strategy and Planning, Product Marketing, Brand Management, Social Media Marketing, Content Marketing, Digital Marketing, Lead Generation and Nurturing, Advertising, Public Relations, Events Marketing, Project Management, Team Leadership, Management and Reporting. My career by the numbers: • Led teams of up to 6 people • Created over 50 websites • Managed hundreds of events • Executed many thousands of campaigns
