I began my freelance marketing career about fifteen years ago when I was employed at a local agency in California. At the time, I was a terribly impatient person. I was never able to sit still. Really, it was a gift and a curse. The impatience made me great at thinking up new strategies and marketing opportunities, but it also made me a pain to deal with. Luckily, I was good enough at my job that people just had to deal. I quickly worked my way up the corporate ladder taking on larger and larger clients. That’s when I realized that I didn’t need an office to do my job.

Today, I’ve carved out my own place within the world of marketing as a freelancer. I work with top agencies all around the world. Planning PPC campaigns, writing content, optimizing websites for SEO, and determining the best way to help companies reach their audience. I do all of this from whatever country I’m traveling in at the time. The necessity for an office is more and more old hat. Everything I want to get done can be accomplished through video calls or other digital communication platforms.

If you’re in the digital marketing world and love your job, I highly recommend coordinating travel into your annual routine. You don’t have to be traveling all the time, but you need the experience of different cultures and how people live This blog is dedicated to helping fellow advertisers get the most out of their careers. It’ll be full of market analysis, SEO advice, copywriting techniques, and the occasional travel tip.
