You say ‘apprentice’… but with your history in consulting, coaching and strategy - not to mention a knack for music, a love for design, and a passion for marketing - you’re probably the most well rounded person in this thread. Happy to have you aboard, Amit! 😃

P.S. The Barbershop quartet is seriously awesome. 

Hi Everyone

My name is Amit and I’m pretty new here and probably the apprentice of the bunch! Excited to be here to mostly learn but also to share if I can!

I’ve been using Unbounce for about 6 months now, but before that was a keen follower of the blog for two years.

My core skills are strategy, planning and marketing. From 2008 to 2012 I worked as a freelance business consultant and coach, working with decision makers to help them with long-term strategies and tactics, as well as helping facilitate the process. This took a natural progression towards project managing web development projects. Slowly I got drawn into the addictive and exciting world of online marketing and started reading blogs around CRO, LPO and data-driven methods such as Analytics etc. hence where I found Unbounce.

In December last year I decided to take the leap and dive out there on my own. I am certified by Google now in Analytics and currently studying Adwords. I offer a model of digital coaching for small businesses, was well as campaign management and website optimisation. I’m building slowly and organically so working with smaller clients at the moment.

I have a love of design (and can use Photoshop and Illustrator) and have worked with lots of designers and agencies over the past 15 years - and absolutely love the Unbounce platform and tools!

I am based in the UK, it’s just me and I use local freelancers until I get to a point where the business if bigger - as I’m still doing coaching and consulting on the side.

I love music - am a Barbershop singer, in a quartet and chorus, love swimming and have 3 kids who take up all the rest of my time!

I love dogs, Star Wars for deep thought provoking insights, Star Trek for awesome tech, and Dumb Ways To Die is my fav Marketing Campaign of all time - Dollar Photo Club pretty close …

Feel free to connect on LinkedIn and my temporary website (a one-pager) is done in Unbounce!

Looking forward to connecting more over the coming months!

Cheers

Amit

Hello there!
My name is Novita, but all of my friends (that includes you!) call me Vivi. I’ve spent 2 magnificent years living at Unbounce land as a Product Designer. What I love about working here is I could spend my entire day daydreaming (thinking), nerding out (researching) and designing ideas or ways to craft the best possible user experience within the Unbounce app. You’ll also find me and my other fellow product designers continuously delivering updates about new cool features and templates in Unbounce as well as gathering feedback about our current features.

While not poking holes at Unbounce, I knit, sew, and spend ridiculous amount of time reading or scouting new handcrafting tips and trick. You are more than welcome to connect with me on Linkedin, Twitter, Instagram, or checkout some of my previous works.

So Cats or dogs?
It’s hard to say, I love both but I’m just terribly scared of them.
Seriously.
Scared.

(recent update: I’m starting a dog therapy with our Director of Customer Success, Ryan and his dog, Toby).

All in all, I’m really excited as you all are to be a part of this community and I’m looking forward to talk or meet you guys soon!

Hey all,  it’s great to see this community growing! 

I’m Jay, currently an Online Marketing Analyst @ Laserfiche. We offer an ECM solution that can be tailored to every company’s needs.

My position is fairly encompassing - I handle all SEO/SEM/CRO/website optimizatio nefforts and am part of a wider 3 person digital strategy team. 

We’ve used unbounce for about 2 years now, with 300+ landing pages - I absolutely love the a/b testing functionality! I’m a huge proponent of user-centered design and believe that we can all make the internet a better experience for everyone! 

Hi Everyone,

This is a great idea, my name is Stuart and I’m part of a small team running a web design and digital marketing agency called Digital Enrich. After 15 years of working as a freelance web designer while also keeping a full time day job going  (17 years in sales, team and project management) I realised I needed to start doing the job that  I love full time and DE was born.

I focus on the more technical projects, looking after our infrastructure, coding, building the functionality for new clients websites and making sure they actually generate business. In short I’m the geeky nethead of our bunch who solves the problems nobody else wants to tackle! (oh an I occasionally make an awesome coffee!)

We are based in the UK and use Unbounce for about 5 of our clients so far but there will be another one coming over to the platform in the next 2-3 weeks! I love the system and I can see some real improvements happening lately which is great.

I see we have a wealth of expertise, experience and knowledge in the community here and I’m really looking forward to pitching in so we can all accomplish our goals together. 

Stop, think, use the force, there’s always a solution!

Hi all, 
My name is Rosi and I’’m a Product Evangelist at a payment infrastructure startup in Brazil. I’m working with Unbounce for about 3-4 months now to manage the promotional pages of the company. 

In 2011 I decided to stop pursing the corporate life to become an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship grew so much in me that I got deeply involved with fostering the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Brazil in which later led me to found the Brazilian Association of Startups with a group of great people. After 3 years I decided it was time to join a startup team and devote my passion to an amazing product. Than I joined the currently company I work with. I’m the second employee after the founders.

My past position was Operations, but my communicative profile led me to Marketing - which I completely found myself in. But If I was’t doing this I would probably become a maker and live life through my craftsmanship in an very folk style. 

I have two akitas living an apartment. Yes I’’m a dog person! 

Besides all that I love to help and share my tips and tricks =]
Btw If you guys ever come to S‹o Paulo, Brazil, give me a shout! We will drink some Caipirinhas together.

I’m a recent addition to the Customer Success team here at Unbounce. I’m a Technical Support Coach, which means I help our users by diving into complex technical issues and bugs that have left them stumped. I’m new to the Community, and hope to become more actively involved!

Working at Unbounce, it’s hard not to be a dog person. Our office dogs are just so darn cute. I don’t think it would fly, but I wouldn’t mind having an office cat as well:

 

My aim is to get my hands dirty and start making some positive contributions to the Community, so I hope to see all of you real soon!

Long time Unbounce user, big time fan. Justin, great intro to the new community…it’s a much-needed upgrade!

About me: I am a co-founder of Workshop Digital in Richmond, VA. We’re a 23-person strong SEO/PPC/CRO/LPO shop with a heavy focus on analytics and helping our clients close more sales, not just gather more leads. When we’re not tethered to a computer, we’re usually playing foosball, out for a team trivia night, or working on our golf game. And we’re hiring!

No lies, adding Unbounce and LPO to our PPC game has probably been the single best decision we’ve made as a company. It has opened our eyes to a whole new world beyond just buying clicks. They didn’t even have to pay me to say that, but I am a huge believer in the product.

Another reason I’m here - our team has learned so much about Unbounce and CRO from the community, blog, tutorials, and other users that we feel obligated and privileged to share what we have discovered back with the group. I try to jump in on threads in the community, and feel free to hit me up with questions.

Hello - my name is Rolf Inge Holden,  nick named Finge as this is much shorter (pronounce like “finger” without the R…)

2 years ago I decided to leave the corporate world and start ConversionLab. I used to work at DHL, and the last 2 years at DHL I was responsible for implementing email marketing programs and landing page strategies globally. After 13 years at DHL i decided it was time to put my experience in CRO to good use and build my own startup.  No more office politics - just business :-) 

At ConversionLab we focus on everything conversion optimization - mostly on landing pages, but also email marketing and ads. We help our customers succeed by designing, managing and optimizing landing pages using Unbounce. Every super hero needs his cape - and Unbounce is ours!

Feel free to connect on LinkedIn, Twitter and ConversionLab.no. Oh - and I give away some free (basic but helpful) tips on how to improve your conversion rates. Feel free to sign up È

I have learned so much about CRO from the online community here at Unbounce and in general, and I try my best to contribute wherever I can. You’ll see me jump in with some tips and replies here and there. I hope you all do the same - and together we can learn from each other!

Talk to you soon!
