AdAge 40 Under 40 - CEO at Growth Skills - Fractional CMO - Search Engine Land SEO Innovation Landy Award Winner - 2022 U.S Search Best Campaign Winner - 2nd Degree Black Belt - Bare Knuckle Karate Champion

I’m a performance driven Growth Marketing expert. I help brands acquire customers and increase their value over time. I have a deep speciality in SEO & Content Marketing. I made AdAge's 40 under 40 for innovating in these areas. I'm a self taught marketer so I can talk theory but also do hands on execution. 

Philosophy: There are only two relationships in Nature. Symbiotic and parasitic. Humans and corporations can chose to be either. I’ve chosen to grow and nurture symbiotic relationships with friends, family, coworkers and clients. I also help connect people who I know would thrive together. 

Kyokushin Karate: I’m a bare knuckle Kyokushin Karate champion. I equate bare knuckle Karate to growing a start up. You have to embrace the suck, be fearless and stare the problem in front of you right in the eyes and solve it. I’ve learned that martial arts has very little to do with kicking and punching but everything to do with life.

Lavall Chichester

My little startup turned 5 years old today. Her name is
Reyna Maya Chichester, named after Maya Angelou. 

Maya Angelou was a poet, dancer, singer, activist, scholar and a world-famous author. 

My daughter sings, dances, and fixes in justices on the play ground. 
When Reyna talks about the origins of her name, we want her to be able to connect with a strong black woman who made positive change for others in the world. 

Reyna Maya turned five to day and she reminded me that we have to use our skills for good. A woman stole packages from our building and Reyna recommended that we buy her, her own package, so she doesn’t have to steal.

Our children are born empathic even though they are growing up in a world that is losing it’s empathy. Most of us are masters of our craft and have the means to make change.

Be like Reyna Maya, let’s help others get the care and support they need, so the future can be proud of us.

If you search January 6th or January 6th insurrection on Google.
The White House is using SEO & Content marketing to influence the search results. 💡 

The White House claims the top stories position for both terms. 📈 

Leaving politics aside, this is an example of how SEO & Content Marketing
can and is being used for reputation management, reframing a story, brand marketing and more. 🥋 

Anyone claiming SEO is dead, is not paying attention. ☠️ 

Here is why the page is ranking and will claim the top organic positions soon. 🎓 

Why?
-White House dot gov has high domain authority 
-The content mention January 6th 47 times
-The content uses entities relevant to the topic like Congress, specific congress people
-Meta titles & descriptions are optimized enough to matter
-The article contains words, images and multiple video which will make time on site higher
-They have a social media share bar that follows you making it easy to share
-They have a downloadable report
-They have gotten links from other websites

Results: 💸 
-They have the top stories position
-They rank for over 106 keywords in a day
- They will eventually rank on the front page for these words and more
-They have gotten hundreds of backlinks from other sites the page spreading the story and reinforcing the rankings
-People will find this and be influenced in one way or the other

ChatGPT & Perplexity have not yet been influenced.

Doesn’t matter, because according to SEMRUSH Google
search is 373x bigger than ChatGPT search. Meaning more
people use Google and find before it starts to rank on ChatGPT and the others.

SEO is more vital than ever to get your message in front of people.
SEO is so powerful it is actively being used to rewrite history.

I’d love your thoughts on this in the comments.

Stop building content your audience doesn't want!
Watch this video to learn how I use SparkToro's new Take Action feature + Replit to build a fully functional interactive tool in 30 minutes. 💡 

Not 30 days. Not 30 hours. 30 minutes. ⚡ 

Here's what you'll learn: 🎓 
-How to use SparkToro's audience intelligence to generate content ideas that actually match what your target audience cares about
-How to take those AI-generated recommendations and prompt Replit's agent to build real, working tools
-How the agent literally QA tests your build for you (it takes the quiz itself to make sure everything works)

Why this is a must-watch: 🥋 

Google's AI Overviews are eating your traffic. Static content isn't cutting it anymore. And your competitors are still stuck in "let's write another blog post" mode while you could be shipping interactive experiences that convert.

The example I built? A personalized protein product finder for The Vitamin Shoppe that asks about fitness goals, diet preferences, and lifestyle, then recommends specific products. 💪 

Two things that made me laugh during this build: 😂 
I told the tool I was vegan and it recommended whey protein. Had to remind the AI that diet preferences should probably come before "let me sell you cow juice." 🐄 

Also, watching Replit's agent click through my quiz like an eager intern running QA was oddly satisfying. 

Shout out to Rand Fishkin Amanda Natividad Casey Henry for launching the new Take Action feature. I love it we are using it more and more for our clients.

Didn’t get the right sponsors & delegates in the room at your last B2B Event?
Let’s fix that.

Your next B2B Event is coming soon.
Do you have a plan for putting the right delegates & the right sponsors in the room?

Does this sound familiar?

Your sales team is already stretched.
Response rates are a constant challenge.
And the event is getting closer.

This is where most event teams default to volume.
More emails. More calls. More pressure.

But more effort isn’t the answer.
Better preparation is. 

Instead of cold lists and hoping for the best, or putting more pressure on your already-stretched sales team, I surface who's ready to talk.

So your team spends time closing, not chasing.

Because:
1. The best events are won months before the doors open, not weeks
2. Targeted outreach beats spray and pray: you need quality and volume
3. Your sales team should be closing, not hunting

I’ve seen this from every seat at the table.

As a delegate at Samsung Europe, I’ve sat in rooms that crackled with energy; and rooms that felt half empty.

As a sponsor, I’ve invested in events that delivered real pipeline; and events that over promised but under delivered.

As a GTM operator, I’ve built the systems that fill rooms with the right people months before the doors open. 

From this unique position, I help B2B event teams fill their rooms with better sponsors and delegates by:

→ Mapping your ideal attendees with precision
→ Surfacing who's ready to talk using intent signals
→ Delivering warm conversations directly to your sales team, ready to close

This has led to:

→ 400+ positive sponsor and delegate replies in 6 months for Inspired Business Media
→ 48 new sponsor conversations from a single CMO Summit campaign
→ 55 new conversations from an ABM roundtable campaign

"Daryl transformed our Go To Market approach across our CMO, CIO, CTO and CISO Summit events. His AI-powered data, technology and outreach strategy gave us a people-first competitive edge with senior leaders." — Leigh Khan Hussain, CEO, Inspired Business Media

If you're running B2B events and tired of the last-minute scramble, we should talk sooner rather than later. 

Here’s what to do next: DM me “EVENTS” or hit the link in my Featured section to talk about smashing your next event out of the park.
