I should have known I’d become a marketer

In 2011, I ran for Senior Class President at my 4,000-student high school..having no prior experience whatsoever. My edge was always my outside-the-box thinking. I’d walk around the commons, noting dozens of boards that all said the same thing.

So I took a different route. I slapped a baby picture of my enormous 9-month-old self on a t-shirt and walked around the halls donning the garment that simply said “Vote for Blake, and together we’ll conquer childhood obesity.”

I won 98% of the votes and was elected.

Ever since, I’ve chased that high of pure, performant creative. Marketing strategy has been my career for over 13 years now, starting in SEO, then becoming the CMO and employee #1 of CopyAI (0 → 4M in a year), and leading marketing at other places as well.

I help startups and founders crack marketing once and for all.

Work with Blake, and together we’ll conquer terrible marketing.
