@seanpotgieter
Full-stack digital marketer and Marketing Manager specializing in SEO, PPC, email, and CRO.
What I'm looking for
I’m a full-stack digital marketer with 8 years of experience across SEO, PPC, lifecycle email, CRO, copywriting, and design. I work across the full funnel—turning strategy into execution through content, paid media, and lifecycle automation.
In my current role as Marketing Manager at Allied Outdoor Solutions, I manage marketing for a Texas-based outdoor construction company and coordinate a distributed remote team across CST and SAST time zones. I’ve built AI-assisted production workflows using Claude with MCP integrations to support reporting, email QA, and content operations.
I specialize in performance and optimization: I run CRO and SEO audits to fix lead capture, CTA, and measurement gaps, and I deliver page-one Google rankings with AI Overview citations in competitive spaces like cybersecurity. I’ve led campaigns that generated six-figure revenue on minimal budgets while aligning teams through weekly briefs and clear project coordination.
Previously, I drove digital marketing for Logicalis’ South African division (SA & SADC region), including co-marketing with Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet, and Huawei. Earlier roles included SEO and content-focused marketing, email automation, and web work on platforms like WordPress and Drupal—backed by analytics using GA4 and GTM.
