Digital marketer & web developer

John
Sullivan.

I’m a digital marketer and web developer at Optima Communications, where I manage Google Ads campaigns and build the landing pages behind them. Outside of my professional roles, I have taken the initiative to develop my own ventures, including providing website design services to small businesses and building and managing Next Gen Features, a baseball recruiting media brand. Penn State graduate in Telecommunications and Media Industries, currently completing a Graduate Certificate in Corporate Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
