Jacob works directly with every client on strategy, backed by an experienced design team, web development team, and support staff.

Jacob holds an MBA from IESE Business School, a top-tier international business school, where he earned awards for business strategy and venture capital analysis and was top of his class in game theory. After his MBA, Jacob worked across banking, tech, and solar in high-level corporate development, strategy, M&A, finance, and operations roles, and consulted directly to CEOs of leading businesses with hundreds of millions in revenue. That mix of strategy and finance is a profile you won't easily find in the web and SEO world, and it's what lets us look at your marketing as an investment, not an expense.

Prior to his business career, Jacob studied Cultural Anthropology, earning a bachelor's degree from the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB), where he paid for his education and worked his way through college. Jacob entered business with an anthropological lens, seeing business as a vehicle to improve the human condition.

Jacob's approach is grounded in a simple belief: a healthy business is one of the best engines there is for a healthy community. When a local business gets the leads it deserves, it can hire, pay well, and give back. Helping business owners generate real revenue, affordably and with a return they can count on, is the part of this work he's proudest of.

Many of our clients came to us after difficult experiences with agencies that promised a lot, charged a lot, and didn't deliver. Our clients are often the top experts in their field, working hard for customers who rely on them. We mirror that: we build a relationship of trust, and we deliver. We want you to do what you do best, and we'll handle the marketing that brings you leads, revenue, and the ability to provide a positive impact for your community.
