Content and brand lead. LinkedIn, email to 10K+ dealers, project PDFs, sub-brand identity, and SEO. 18+ months.
Funded automotive data SaaS, 300+ dealership clients. Great product — zero external presence. LinkedIn was inconsistent, the website had near-zero organic traffic, and the sales collateral wasn't built for a B2B buyer. I came in as the content and brand lead. Daily posts, email campaigns to 10,000+ dealers, branded project PDFs that closed major fleet partnerships. Patrick McSherry's written LinkedIn recommendation is available on request.
