Jacob Ventresca

Senior Growth Marketer • SEO Specialist • Content Writer

Canada

Hello! I’m Jacob Ventresca, a professional content-writer, communicator, and digital marketer. My expertise centres around creating compelling written material to represent brands and stoke engagement. As a graduate of the University of Waterloo’s Global Business and Digital Arts program, I have a strong understanding of modern marketing trends and a highly-internationalized mindset. I've held a broad range of independent and collaborative positions throughout my career, and am frequently recognized for my talents in project management, leadership, and responsibility.

Most recently, I've been employed as a Senior Growth Writer at Otter, a Silicon Valley-based B2B SaaS leader in the restaurant tech space. Here, I wrote short- and long-form content for website landing pages, blog posts, and social media, developed customer relationship materials aligned with my brand's tone and style, and provided thorough copy-editing, proofreading, and administrative support to a global team. Previously, I was a Communications Specialist at Excellence in Manufacturing Consortium, Canada's largest manufacturing collective, where I crafted engaging written copy and strengthened corporate relationships with business leaders nationwide.

Early in my career, I held a Copywriter of Digital Commerce role in the Digital Main Street agency, where I created and distributed online copy for a diverse array of business leaders. Before graduating, I was privileged to be a Teacher’s Assistant in the University of Waterloo's Professional Communications course, and refined my skills in corporate documentation as a Business Analyst at MCAP.

In any position, I strive to employ my values of professionalism, contextual awareness, and impactful communication. Equipped with an unwavering desire to learn and a dedication to productivity, I’m confident in my ability to benefit others through my content marketing strengths. I look forward to utilizing my unique knowledge, experience, and skillset for you!
