About Me

Performance Marketer. Multipotentialite. Adventurer. Speaker. 

Hey there, Godson here! I’m your not-so-typical marketing consultant with a passion for storytelling and data.
 
Your standard marketer person probably got their degree in Marketing or Communications. Then, they went on to get their MBA. My story’s a bit different.
 
I started my college career in the medical field. I was a Physician Assistant student with a 4.0 GPA, despite being unable to afford my textbooks. One day during my junior year, I came up with an idea to make extra money to pay for school. I decided to resell sneakers from my mall and deliver them door-to-door locally.

I sold one pair. Then another. And another. This little “side hustle” grew faster than I could’ve imagined. It grew into an e-commerce marketplace that grossed over $1 million in revenue. Customers in 33 countries. A brick-and-mortar storefront in one the most expensive counties in the U.S. Clients included celebrity athletes and Grammy-nominated artists — all while still living in my mom’s basement. I even finally managed to buy a few textbooks.
 
Now, I’ve channeled my robust talents into marketing. I work with business executives and advertising departments as a consultant. I empower companies to meet their revenue goals through the latest strategies.

My Experience

Fortune 500s. Venture-backed startups. DTC ecom brands. Agencies. Nonprofits. I’ve done a lot.

Thanks to my unconventional career path, I’ve had the fortune of being able to work with brands and businesses of all different shapes and sizes.

That vast experience across different verticals makes me well-positioned to tackle challenging problems using outside-the-box methodologies, regardless of how much previous familiarity I have in a particular space.

If you want conventional results, hire conventional.

But if you want impactful, lasting returns on your investment, hire me.
