🚀 VP Marketing @Digioh | Co-Founder @ContentArmy 🪖 Helping B2B companies to find message-market-fit, build social SEO, and generate quality sales pipeline | D2C Marketer Turned B2B Marketing Leader

I’m Blake, a former DTC operator turned B2B marketer. I’ve served as the face and evangelist of Attentive partnerships and served three tours of duty the marketing leader at high growth SaaS start ups. I’m a believer the content and partner marketing are the two highest growth levers for driving predictable and qualified demand. 

B2B marketing has changed more in the last 5 years than ever before and I believe the companies that will win in the 2020s will be capable of building brand without sacrificing demand. We’re doing just that at Digioh — and we’ve grown our businesses revenue 148.48% year over year in 2024 as a result and we are on pace to double that in 2025.

I also advise other B2B companies how to scale their businesses through marketing.
