Jesse is an excellent search marketing analyst, but his true talents really shine when you give him data. Whenever I have a question, or need an opinion related to data analysis, Jesse is the first person I call. At HubShout, Jesse managed many of the large PPC campaigns, hitting tough quotas and deadlines with seeming ease. Not only did I learn something new every day by working with Jesse, but I had a great time in the process. I happily recommend Jesse; any one would be lucky to work with him!
