Kayla Martin
@kaylamartin2
I build brands, websites, and marketing operations that drive sustainable business growth.
What I'm looking for
I founded Social Echo Marketing Agency, a boutique consultancy supporting entrepreneurs, educators, creators, and small businesses across six-plus industries. I’ve designed websites and brand identities, managed social media accounts, and built SEO, content, and digital marketing programs that strengthen online visibility.
At Heron Tech, I served as the sole U.S. marketing professional while supporting a global manufacturing organization of 100+ employees. I contributed to its rebrand, led website strategy across 15+ webpages, coordinated five national trade shows with a $25,000 budget, and created 50+ SOPs that reduced administrative workload by approximately 50%.
I’ve also built PPC campaigns, landing pages, CRM workflows, email automation, and lead-generation programs through Digital Marketing JobPrepped. My work combines marketing strategy, customer-facing communications, SEO, content creation, and operational process improvement.
As the founder of Train By Kayla, I developed hands-on experience in branding, customer acquisition, client retention, and community partnerships. I enjoy turning strategy into organized, scalable marketing systems that support long-term growth.
