ABOUT ME

Liam Shotwell

Digital Marketing Professional

I’ve been writing professionally since 2019, but my passion for learning, creating, and problem solving is in my blood. My dad’s wireless Internet business run off our backyard radio mast was only the beginning of my interest in entrepreneurship and technology. Meanwhile, my mom’s empathy and passion for people and animals kept me rooted in the most important part of what connects us together: our humanity.

When I first went to college, I originally wanted to be a professional trumpet player. Perhaps that’s not entirely out of the cards. I play with the Marion Palace Theater Big Band a few times a year, as well as the Marion Concert Band. In High School, I performed with the Mansfield Youth Symphonic Orchestra and won their concerto competition and Eddie Chiudioni Award in 2017. However, I decided I needed to branch out. Inspired by my sister, a published author, I graduated as an English major with a Writing Rhetoric and Literacy concentration from the Ohio State University in 2021. I minored in Music, Media, and Enterprise.

I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with David Payette and David Lynch at Payette Forward, a B2C-focused business passionate about helping people with cell phones and cell phone plans. This experience introduced me to WordPress and SEO writing.

That eventually led to me working with MobiDev, a B2B software development firm in Ukraine and several other B2B clients. Recently, I’m dedicated to continuing to improve my knowledge of the more technical side of publishing content online, especially in learning how to self-host open source software in Docker and using Linux systems. I leverage all these different experiences to give me an advantage in helping brands achieve their goals through high quality content and SEO strategy.
