Writer & Researcher

Self-Employed

I ghostwrote for a NYT Bestselling author and serial entrepreneur.

Ghostwriter

What do Jesus, Socrates, and Marco Polo have in common? 

They all used ghostwriters to capture their knowledge. 

My name's Dennis, and I run Founders Ink — my specialized ghostwriting agency.

We help experts and entrepreneurs create professional thought leadership. 

How do we do it?

By ghostwriting value-led social media posts, articles, and newsletters that help generate inbound.

I say "ghostwriting" because everyone understands what that means.

But to be honest, the work we do is closer to that of a scribe.

Here's the difference:

Scribe: 100% your ideas, in your words, in your voice.

Ghostwriter: 30% your ideas, fill in the rest with conventional wisdom.

We help our clients unlock the wisdom and expertise that's stuck in their head.

Then we scale that knowledge across digital media to attract those who will benefit from it most. 

Your target audience.

Brand Strategist + Marketing Consultant

Gamlen Digital

Gamlen Digital was a micro agency for local businesses that only provided marketing services that could directly be tied to revenue. 

We specialized in local SEO, PPC, figuring out if our clients' current SEO person was actually doing anything or just sending screenshots from a guy he's outsourcing to in Malaysia, and making sure Yelp didn't screw them over. 

While we consulted for a variety of businesses, our main client was a restaurant group in Scottsdale for which I also creatively directed and did the photography.

Here are some of my proudest accomplishments for this client achieved by both myself and my team:

· Increased website traffic from 3K to over 10K in the first six months 
· Established a 7% website conversion rate for reservations specifically (only 10% of restaurant websites get above 6.4%) 
· Grew a monthly newsletter from 0 to over 1500 subscribers in less than six months with an average open rate of over 50% and a CTR of 13% (industry average is 18.5% and 2%, respectively)
· Increased Google Business profile interactions by 104% and bookings by 119%
· Doubled revenue for one of their restaurants and increased it by 56% for another within an 18-month period compared to pre-COVID numbers, as well as built the brand for their newest concept from scratch
