About Jerry   

I am a business operator first.

Marketing is one of the tools I use to drive growth.

I bring over 26 years of real-world experience across business ownership, operations, marketing, and technology. I have built companies, fixed broken systems, led teams, and worked inside organizations that needed results, not theory.

I have seen what works. I have seen what fails. I know the difference.

My background includes:

  • Business startups and growth
  • Marketing strategy and leadership
  • Brand positioning and messaging
  • Revenue-focused marketing systems
  • CRM and marketing automation
  • Graphic design and creative direction
  • Copywriting and conversion strategy
  • Web development and platform optimization
  • AI and business process automation
  • This combination matters.

It allows me to think like an owner, communicate like a marketer, and execute like an operator.

HOW I WORK

–––––––––––––

I do not sell tasks.

I do not sell hype.

I do not sell complexity.

I work as a Fractional Director of Marketing.

That means I take ownership of your marketing function.

I set direction.

I guide execution.

I hold systems and vendors accountable.

I focus on outcomes tied to revenue and growth.

My role is to simplify decisions and bring structure where things feel scattered.

Built with edge.     Rooted in purpose.

SumoLab exists to bring clarity and leadership to marketing that has outgrown tactics.

Most established businesses do not need more marketing activity.

They need better decisions. That is where SumoLab comes in.

 

WHAT MAKES SUMOLAB DIFFERENT

• Leadership, not outsourcing

• Strategy tied to execution

• Clear priorities instead of endless ideas

• Practical AI and automation, not buzzwords

• Experience earned through real operating environments

Clients work with SumoLab because they want confidence.

They want clarity.

They want someone who understands what is at stake.

WHO WE WORK WITH

–––––––––––––

SumoLab partners with owner-led businesses that are established and serious about growth.

Typically:

• 2M to 10M in annual revenue

• Past the startup phase

• Marketing feels busy but ineffective

• No senior marketing leader in place

• Owner wants fewer decisions and better results

–––––––––––––

THE OUTCOME

–––––––––––––

Clients come to SumoLab for marketing help.

They stay because the business runs better.

Clear strategy.

Better execution.

Smarter systems.

Less stress on the owner.

That conversation will tell us if SumoLab is the right fit.

If you want next, I can:

• Tighten this into a shorter About page version

• Write a personal founder letter version

• Create a credibility section with logos and experience

• Align this with your LinkedIn About section

Why Sumolab Exists   

As businesses grow, marketing becomes fragmented.

  • Agencies focus on deliverables.
  • Freelancers focus on tasks.
  • Tools pile up.
  • Results get harder to measure.
  Owners end up managing marketing instead of leading the company.
  • SumoLab was built to fix that gap.
  • We step in as marketing leadership.
  • We align strategy, execution, systems, and accountability.

We make marketing support growth instead of draining time, money, and focus.
