John Espirian

John at heart is a technical copywriter working for himself having previously held roles at Sky and Fujistu, although we hope he won’t mind us saying that we also consider him one of the most useful sources for Linkedin knowledge on the web. Specifically, John focuses on organic Linkedin, which is where our focus is in this session. John is also the recent author of ‘Content DNA’ which is available on Amazon right now.

Work aside, John is an interesting chap despite an unfortunate affection for Liverpool FC – we’ve still got my fingers crossed the season will be cancelled before they can be crowned champions. John is a Lord (technically), his first music purchase was ‘’Informer’ by Snow’ and John also voted 162 for Leona Lewis to win the X factor back in 2006, which we’re not sure is something to be proud of.

Although we’ve been here before, it doesn’t make it any easier on our mental health.

So here are a few ideas we’ve been discussing with our job hunters to help them stay, or find, a bit of positivity.

The quick story of The Marketing Meetup

The quick story of The Marketing Meetup

by | Aug 14, 2020 |

I’m the founder of The Marketing Meetup. I started the Marketing Meetup four years ago because I was a solo marketer working in a small company, I didn’t have anywhere where I could network with other marketers and I didn’t have a place where I could learn either.
