Jack worked for 10+ years in the content and influencer space before co-founding SWIDIA. Jack and team are changing the way brands are thinking about growth marketing. They take a four-pronged approach to growth: Strategy, Media Planning, Conversion Centric Creative and Analytics. The results have been incredibly impressive.
