Marshall Malone: Experienced SEO & Multi-Platform Content Producer

Hi, I’m Marshall. I have over 15 years experience in both retail marketing and digital marketing, with a focus on SEO, web design, enterprise e-Commerce, paid social media, and content development: including video production, photography, web design, and much more. I have worked with some of the largest companies in the world, as well as some in my own back yard. Feel free to review my skills and most recent experiences below or browse my portfolio. You can see my deeper work experience on LinkedIn.

Currently seeking employment: Due to COVID-19, I am unemployed and looking for work in a digital marketing leadership position or even continuing the path of video production. My hope is to take my wide breadth of experience and funnel all the knowledge into a new role.

About me

From right-brained skills like photography and video production to left-brained skills like SEO, content marketing, and analytics, I’ve had the luxury of learning many different skills over my years. I am autodidactic in my skills set, in that many of the skills I’ve learned have been self-taught or through professional opportunities. I’ve held a variety of jobs since I was 16 years old: from unloading trucks, selling shoes, and selling beer at NFL games, to executing highly profitable SEO campaigns and working in a world class photography studio. I’m very well rounded, to say the least. I am currently working as a certified digital marketing professional and WordPress developer, but always open to collaborating on creative endeavors with new people.
