About Jay Aquino

For over a decade I have effectively and strategically managed over half a million dollars in ad spend for my clients.Now I take all of that expertise and implement it into large event and festival production like yours, helping you sell more tickets online, more visibility, keeping your vendors and sponsorships happy.My previous career was managing and operating a food truck and restaurant and it is where my knowledge and strength working with digital marketing developed. I wore many different hats as a partner in the business, but really enjoyed the marketing aspect of it all. I learned about the buyer\'s journey - from clicks to customers all with social media. I truly believe that social media can help any event, festival or business because everyone carries a smart phone or owns a tablet with social apps. When I understood the power of social media marketing and the impact it has given my clients, I knew I can help any business.Not only do I get to build my own business, but I can now help Event and Festival Producers who worry about ticket sales, by helping them gain more exposure and increase sales online by leveraging social media marketing and data. I understand social media marketing is stressful if you don’t understand it, but it’s also something that has a tendency to get ignored unless you are really motivated to do it, and that can have enormous consequences for a business owner.I\'ve worked with many Events Producers and business owners across the country, giving me insight and expertise into what challenges they face and how they can improve their businesses.Tell me if this sounds familiar- You\'ve invested a substantial amount of money into traditional marketing (flyers, bill boards, radio, etc.) but you\'re not seeing the return on that investment- You\'re wearing too many hats and don\'t have time to focus on what you do best, stretching you too thin to make things work- You\'re dealing with so many people, i.e. staff, customers, vendors, sponsors, and don\'t have time to deal with all the marketing for your business- You\'re unsure if social media marketing works because you’ve tried boosting ads, or hired an agency that did not deliver the results you expected and now frustrated that things are not going your way.If you are an Event / Festival Producer or Service Based Business and would like to partner with an experienced social media marketer so you can focus on doing what you do best, I’d be happy to hop on a quick discover call over zoom with you.
