Held position as lead web designer for iScope Marketing, a local internet marketing company. Main
responsibilities were the design of small static websites for local businesses. The bulk of these sites were
designed specifically to be effective in conjunction with our marketing package, which includes Google AdWords
PPC (pay per click) campaigns, and social media marketing (i.e. Facebook/Twitter). In addition, I also produced
higher end custom sites for customers whose needs surpassed our standard package (i.e. Ecommerce, CMS,
SEO, Flash/XML portfolio sites, etc…) I also developed online, interactive, training materials for the training an
at-home sales representatives.
Note – iScope has recently closed their St Pete office, and downsized drastically. I currently do work for them on
an outside contract basis, and projects are becoming infrequent; however, while working as an hourly employee
in the initial 6 months with this company production was very fast paced. In that initial 6 months time, I built in
excess of 100 websites for iScope (*references and example available upon request), sometimes as many as 2-3
per day
