Glenn Friesen's Summary
10 years of internet marketing enables me to separate the signal from the noise when it comes to SEO, Web Design, and PPC marketing.
I've applied my customer-centricity, analytical prowess, marketing knowledge and design skills to earn increases of 680% in non-bounce visitors for company websites; to sustainably reduce average CPC over 55% while tripling clicks; and to produce and promote useful and attractive content for dozens of small businesses and major brands.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, listening, and jamming to Neil Young in my car. I am a Capricorn.
