John began his marketing career immediately after completing his master’s degree. He was offered a leadership role in the new startup Eball, which focused on B2B fantasy sports, headquartered in Gibraltar, UK, but with offices in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as well. His responsibilities included creating a product attractive to fantasy sports businesses and sports book operators looking to incorporate a fantasy sports platform. Additionally, he oversaw the company’s landing page, social media accounts, and advertising efforts. During his time at the company, Eball Fantasy Sports gained three partner companies in Europe, Africa, and Asia, each with thousands of users.
After that, John participated in his first Silicon Valley company, CommandDot, which developed a B2C productivity app connecting email to calendar apps. During the alpha pre-launch phase, John contributed to the company’s achievement of 5000+ sign-ups. He played a key role in building a community of approximately 3000 virtual assistants, one of the company’s main target audiences. Additionally, he conducted over 500 personalized onboarding calls to introduce the app to new users and gather feedback. Over the span of two years, John successfully converted about 1000 users into active, paying customers.
John’s second Silicon Valley company was a B2B mobile device management app called Swif. During his six months at the company, John worked on in-app design, social media content, landing page content, pitch deck content, growth strategies, email campaigns, onboarding calls, drafting contracts, attending events, giving product demos, conversion rate optimization, and much more. He managed to get the company’s first 70 sign-ups averaging ~10 new companies signing up to use Swif each month.
