FOCUS POINT VISUALS

Digital Marketing & Landing Page Design (2017-present)

Here I developed valuable sales and communication experience to be able to run my own business and to deal with clients. I also developed advanced skills in digital marketing (Facebook & Google Ads + web design) in order to ensure profitable campaigns for clients. Notably achieved a 550% ROI on a Facebook Ad Campaign for Western Piedmont Community College.
