Since every business is different, not only in their needs but also in where they are in the growth process, it isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. In the past 7 years, Behdad (or Bee) has met with and assessed 1153+ marketing agencies and vetted them down to a lean 100+ preferred partners across all marketing niches. After pairing hundreds of businesses with the right partners, he’s found his skill set lies in the matchmaking process. Featured in MarketWatch, Bloomberg, National Post and the Financial Post, Bee’s unique background in marketing, engineering, consulting, leadership, sales and strategy has allowed him to serve as the conduit between business owners and the marketing teams they need.About CJAM Marketing: CJAM The Marketing Connector, founded by Behdad Jamshidi, connects businesses to the right marketing partners based on where they are in the growth process and their unique goals. If you’re a business owner, chances are you’re really good at what you do. That doesn’t mean you’re good at marketing, or at evaluating whether or not someone is good at marketing. In fact, most businesses go through a minimum of 4-6 different marketing agencies before they find one they are happy with. And that is where we come in. Over the past four years, we’ve met with over 1157+ marketing agencies, freelancers, professionals and experts, evaluating their work and services. We’ve vetted that list down to 100+ preferred partners and then built systems around the matchmaking process to find your perfect match, the first time around.Discover more at https://cjammarketing.com/.
