Evan Patterson — Co-Founder

👋🏻 You should really click the "...see more" button over there. 👉🏻 😉 I’m Evan Patterson. I'm a freelance marketer. LGBTQ+. AuDHD. Two cats with main-character energy and paperwork opinions. Metro Detroit-raised, Chicago-thriving. A small but vocal group of humans, plus my mother, call me the Joan Rivers of Marketing. I did not ask for that title, but I also did not return it. I help founders, CEOs, and operators stop sounding like they were assembled by committee. I step in when a company needs real marketing ownership, sharper strategy, better positioning, and someone senior enough to lead without turning everything into a 47-slide feelings deck. A few outcomes from client work: • 20-40 qualified inbound conversations per month from LinkedIn alone • $750,000+ in pipeline created within 120 days from organic content and positioning shifts • $1,200,000+ in attributed pipeline tied to narrative architecture and messaging alignment • 50% increase in closed-won ratio through improved lead quality and tighter positioning • A content system that took a startup from averaging $1,000/day over a quarter to $250,000 in one month • 10,000-20,000 follower growth in under 12 months for executive accounts • 3x-5x increase in profile views within 60-90 days after repositioning • $25,000-$60,000 retainers closed directly from inbound conversations • Shorter sales cycles because buyers arrived already aligned on value I also have 50+ testimonials on my profile and 30,000+ followers on LinkedIn, so there is plenty of evidence that I know how to build visibility, trust, and commercial momentum without making people sound like they were ghostwritten by a laminated webinar. What I usually help with: GTM strategy, ghostwriting, executive personal branding, content marketing, social media, newsletters, email marketing, SEO/AEO/GEO, sales and marketing alignment, UGC, influencer and community marketing, and channel partnerships. Best-fit clients usually have a founder acting as head of marketing, fuzzy positioning, content that is not turning into traction, or a need for someone senior enough to lead and practical enough to execute. I’m open to freelance, fractional, part-time, advisory, and project-based work when the scope makes sense. My goal is consistent: make you unmistakable.
