The roast
Finn claims that big numbers mean he’s good at his job, which is a convenient way to say he’s a professional influencer who’s spent twenty years failing upward from pop-punk bands to cleaning products. He lists Swiffer and Febreze on his resume like he’s proud of the fact that his career peaked at scented trash bags.
About Finn
My job is simple: do whatever it takes to help you grow your business. I've been doing marketing & design for 20-ish years: Created $25M+ education products at CreativeLive and URM Academy, product & marketing for Abercrombie & Fitch, Figma, Swiffer, and Febreze; digital media for Red Bull, Element, and Nike ACG and projects for bands including A Day To Remember, Periphery and Of Mice & Men. As a content creator, I've also generated over 130 million views and 750k subscribers on YouTube, 80k followers on Instagram & 20k LinkedIn followers (big numbers = I'm good at my job, right??) Let’s do something cool together! Send me an email or DM any time.

My dad was in the navy then a corrections officer, and everything he told me looks more right every year. - you can do whatever you want, just know that you also have to own the results (for good or bad) - some people are bad actors. Assume the truth is the exact opposite of whatever they say it is - you can’t change people. If they do change, it’s because they wanted to, not because of anything you did - life’s not fair. don’t waste your time crying about it, just push through it -- 👋 Hi, I’m Finn 📈 Fractional CMO 👨💻 20+ years designing & marketing products 📬 DM me to say hi
