Jerry James New Delhi, India. -|- Summary Although I started out as a web developer, I drifted into the world of technical content and content strategy as I noticed that technology, software solutions, computing, among other things, were significantly harder to sell. As today’s target audience is usually well-informed and tech-savvy, run-of-the-mill marketing strategies didn't really seem too effective. The wealth of information brought about by the dawn of the Digital Era seemed to be further empowering them and affecting their decisions. However, with the right long-term inbound marketing approach, a business can leverage this digital age to bring in a steady stream of paying customers. I've worked with close to 50 clients across the globe, helping their businesses get to the next level. A few noteworthy ones are detailed in my work experiences section below. I'm constantly on the lookout for better opportunities in my area of expertise.
