Digital Marketing & Multimedia Storytelling · Fort Wayne, Indiana

Stories that bring a community into the room.

I plan the campaign, shoot the photos and video, write the copy, build the page, and read the numbers. Since December 2024 I have done that work for Fort Wayne and Indianapolis small businesses, chambers, and community events through my agency, Skyscraper Digital Marketing.

Community Storytelling

Covering the people who make a city work

As the photography and video sponsor for two emPower Breakfast Network chapters and for Afro Fest, I capture keynotes, networking, and audience reactions, then turn them into recap galleries, social content, and assets the organizers and partners can share.

Campaigns & Strategy

Integrated campaigns with a calendar and a goal

Every campaign starts with an outcome, a content calendar, and the channels that carry it: social, email, web, and in-person events.

1,200%Year-over-year revenue growth

Tech This LLC, Whitestown, Indiana

My anchor client engagement, working with owner Rob Herrmann on how the business is found, trusted, and chosen online.

The result became the lead case study for Skyscraper Digital Marketing.

Content strategy

12-article content cluster

A pillar article on how customer relationships form before first contact, supported by eleven cluster articles and a 12-week publishing calendar tied to chamber and emPower Breakfast networks.

Campaign

Q4 brand photography contest

A month-long contest running October 1 to 31, winners announced November 1, with winner shoots scheduled November through January. Non-winners receive an event photography offer, turning entries into future leads.

Social media

Instagram launch plan

Content pillars, a three-posts-a-week Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday cadence, a dated 13-post launch calendar, and a phased bio rewrite timed to the contest launch.

Research

Customer Relationship Assessment

A brand visibility audit covering search, Google Business Profile, social presence, and accessibility. Original finding: every business audited to date, six in all, had zero pages structured to earn a backlink.

Client audit

J+Space Studio

A full visibility audit for a Fort Wayne interior design studio working with a zero-dollar marketing budget, with three quick wins built around networking, social, and speaking platforms.

Writing

Thought leadership

A LinkedIn newsletter article, "Most Businesses Are Solving the Wrong Marketing Problem," plus long-form articles on brand photography and trust, and on search visibility versus rankings.

Web, SEO & Accessibility

Content people can find, read, and use

Accessibility is part of how I build, from alt text on every gallery image to an ADA compliance content series for local businesses.

Accessibility

ADA compliance series

Blog posts, LinkedIn content, and an infographic on website accessibility, built on verified 2025 statistics.

Website

Portfolio page audit

A prioritized fix list for my own photography page: descriptive alt text for about twenty event images, duplicate removal, consistent voice, and a second client testimonial.

SEO

Search and AI visibility

Local keyword updates to the title tag, H1, and meta description, structured data upgraded to ProfessionalService schema, and an llms.txt file drafted for AI discoverability.

"Great experience working with Jireh! The customer service was excellent and his timely turnaround exceeded our expectations."
