Jakes love for marketing kick-started when his footballing career spiralled. At the age of 16 he was a Youth Team footballer with the dream of reaching the top, but It wasn’t until that dream came to an end he realised another one had just started. He’s a big believer in everything that happens for a reason… When a door closes another one opens!
Jake went down the traditional route of university, but with a twist on the normal education. He attended a university that had mainstream degrees but with a sports focus. It wasn’t until this point he realised his future would be in marketing.
Throughout his degree and thereafter, his skill set has been utilised in an array of industries and locations, from lighting the social presence of a fireplace company in Burnley, to winning awards for his social media work on the West coast of Texas, America, and then finally (before Grow Traffic) digitally trained in smart products in Accrington.
Jake's work has previously been social media-heavy but he's now rapidly expand his marketing knowledge and proficiency into the niche category of SEO.
When he’s not creating content for GrowTraffic, his life revolves around progression, like in football no one enjoys a stalemate. Whether that be football related, fitness-focused or financial freedom, he has to be dabbling in something new that excites him. Most recently his focus involves book reading, the stock market and attempting to learn Spanish.
