Meet Jake Judy - Marketing Strategist

Hi everyone! Sobeck Studio has been up to a lot lately, and a few months ago I realized I needed some help in order to ensure client tasks were getting out the door. When I was looking for the right marketing strategist to assist with content creation, research and reporting, I quickly approached Jake Judy -- who I've known since he was born. Jake and his family are like family, but I really wanted to work with Jake as he has incredible drive, passion and interest in the digital marketing industry.

Jake's a graduate of Clemson (BS in Marketing), and right out of college, he started ContractorWebsiteSolutions.com , where he's helping contractors with quality and affordable web design and lead generation systems. If you are looking for a website and SEO solutions, definitely reach out to Jake and his team!

Get to know Jake with some by reading the Q&A below and say hello by emailing him at Jake@SobeckStudio.com . Jake -- I'm so glad you're here to help Sobeck Studio!

Where you live: Greenville, SC
Education: List when you graduated, your major/minor: Clemson University - 2020 - majored in Marketing and minored in Business Management
Name 1-2 hobbies and a fun fact that people may find interesting or can relate back to you: I like to exercise and study ways to better myself in my free time. An interesting fact about me is I weighed 3 pounds when I was born due to being born prematurely.
What do you love about social media marketing? I love how many people it allows someone to reach so easily and also how it provides instant feedback through likes and comments.
What is your favorite task to work on? I enjoy working on the design and build of websites the most. It allows me to be as creative as I want while also providing value to the customer!
What skill have you been developing? I have been learning stock trading and what to look for in smart investments. To me, this is a skill that pays to have - literally.
Tell us about Contractor Website Solutions and your goals for 2021 - Contractor Website Solutions is our family owned and operated digital marketing company that is based out of Greenville, SC. We do everything from custom websites to Search Engine Optimization to logo design and branding specifically for contractors. Our goals for 2021 include increased brand awareness not only in general but also on main social media platforms, and increasing our clientele to 100 clients by the end on 2021.
What are some things you've learned so far working at SS? I've learned how much work goes into running just one social media page so running multiple pages for multiple clients is daunting. Things can get out of hand quickly if proper planning is not in place. Constant communication with the client is also key to make sure certain content is written well and is posted at the perfect time.
What social media or marketing trend(s) are you anticipating to take off in 2021? I believe that we will see an large influx of businesses creating social media pages and websites that utilize SEO. If companies are not on social media and have no website that traffic is being led to through SEO, potential leads will not see them. Consumers get all their information from their devices now so not showing up on those screens would have a major effect on a business.
Favorite marketing app, podcast or blogs (can pick one or list all) Right now I am listening to a book called Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins who is a retired NAVY Seal. He describes awful experiences in his life that ultimately made him who he is today. It is quite raw but is filled with tactics that allow someone to take control of their life and crush their goals.
Guilty pleasure? Watching Netflix or various Youtube videos for hours. It's just so easy when the next episode or video automatically plays for you. It's the ultimate in being lazy.
Favorite quote? "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas Edison
