What makes it work

A breakdown of the choices that make this portfolio stand out.

1

Named, recognizable client companies

Citing Google, Zapier, and Algolia by name rather than "Fortune 500 clients" gives an otherwise unverifiable-sounding claim concrete, checkable substance.

2

Personal writing blended into a professional site

Photography and fiction posts sitting alongside the content-marketing narrative make the site read as a real person, not a resume PDF.

3

A legible career arc

Agency co-founder, then agency CMO, then in-house director shows a clear progression across company types rather than a flat job list.

What Marketing Managers can take from this

Specific, actionable tips to apply to your own portfolio — no generic advice.

  • Name actual client companies by name if you're allowed to — specificity beats a vague "worked with leading brands" line every time.

  • Mixing some personal interest content into a professional site isn't a distraction — it makes the professional claims feel like a real career, not a pitch.

  • State your career arc as a sequence of roles (founder to agency exec to in-house leader) so a reader can see the trajectory, not just the current title.
