Mark's work
About Mark
Visual advertising has been my passion, growing up, TV ads were my favorite part of the evening. I got my degree in directing theatre and digital arts, where I wrote and directed a few short films, one of them won 'best screenplay' at a local film festival. In my spare time, I enjoy hobbies that engage the creative part of my brain, photography, writing, listening to live music, traveling, and VR gaming.
Even though digital advertising was my preferred career, I went into software sales at a few startups after college. I started as an inside sales rep and became an Enterprise Account Executive - closing fortune 500 accounts, multi-year agreements, and overachieving quota. As a sales executive, I worked with clients to pinpoint their challenges and provided suitable solutions. I helped our sales enablement team by writing email/call scripts, pitch decks, and product handbooks. After generating millions of dollars in pipeline and over a million dollars in closed business, I used the money and experience I gained to start an ad agency focussed on video production. I hired a team of five talented designers and producers, and rented an office with a film studio in Livermore, CA. We made ads for fantastic companies like Pill Club, TechCrunch, Jarvish, Upstock, and many more. While managing the team, I was also in charge of generating leads, closing business, conducting briefs, writing copy, and directing ads.
