Stop scrolling — you've found your guy. 15+ years leading viral creative, influencer strategy, and paid programs for Fortune 500 brands. I helped Clorox earn "Best Brand to Follow on Twitter." Grew Chevron's LinkedIn from 1M to 5M followers and earned 300M+ TikTok views.

My superpower: taking big swings and rallying the right people to make them real — especially when things aren't super defined. Currently building Sippr, an AI cocktail & party planning app, as a solo founder.

Sippr
AI Cocktail & Party Planning
Built from scratch as a solo, non-technical founder using Lovable and Claude AI. Sippr answers every party drink question in one place — "What should I serve?", "How many bottles do I need?", "What's this going to cost me?"

This isn't a detour from marketing leadership. It's proof that the next generation of marketing leaders don't just run campaigns — they ship products.

Tech Stack
Built With AI From Scratch
Lovable · Claude AI · Supabase · Cloudflare · Reddit Ads in wedding subreddits · SEO targeting long-tail wedding and event keywords. Non-technical founder who learned enough to ship — and keeps shipping.

Hey! I'm Joey — ask me anything. How I'd approach a strategy problem, what I think is broken in most social programs, why I built Sippr, what I'm like to work with. Whatever's useful. The suggested prompts above are a good start if you're not sure where to begin 👋
