I'm Marc St. John. I create content out of Columbus, Ohio. Before
any of this, I taught English. I wrote lessons every day, graded the results,
and told students exactly what worked and what didn't. That's the same job as
marketing: write something, measure what it does, say plainly what needs to
change. The subject changed. The job didn't.
I got my start in 2011, writing blog content for a resort business, teaching
myself SEO from a book as I went. In 2018, that turned into freelance web
development: building sites and running local marketing for small businesses.
That's where I began learning how to sell online.
Since October 2021, I've played a key role in the entire marketing
system for a specialty ecommerce retailer: SEO, email, Meta ads, content, and
conversion, all at once. The business has grown more than 1,000% since I
started. Average order value grew 53% over the same stretch. Meta ad spend
scaled 7x and stayed profitable. Organic keywords reached 43,000+ at one point.
Content Franchise offers that same work. Instead of a retainer
and a proposal, it's a catalog with the price already on it. You are not
handed off to a rotating account team. You are working with the person who
already built one system that did all of it, and the small team that helps
when needed.
