Richard Lesher

Digital marketing professional with 10+ years of experience in SEO, content marketing, data analytics, social media promotion, email marketing, and digital marketing strategy creation. Currently, I am a Director at Volume Nine, a digital marketing agency in Denver, CO, managing a small team of digital marketing specialists to help brands grow their digital footprint. Over the past 8+ years, my primary focus has been as an Account Manager working directly with marketers from various companies and organizations, progressing eventually to Senior Account Manager, Team Lead, and Director over my time here. As Volume Nine has grown from a specialized agency to a broad digital agency, my work has been focused on organic search and brand visibility with additional focuses moving more broadly into social media and overall content strategy. In my 8+ years of digital marketing experience following the 6 years of more traditional marketings and sales, I have worked to become advanced in SEO tactics, Google Analytics, content development, and overall digital marketing strategies. Transferring my prior traditional marketing and sales knowledge to the digital space helped me to bring a more all-encompassing view to brand growth while keeping the end goals as the priority. Having worked with companies ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500, my digital marketing experience has spanned multiple verticals including, but not limited to, healthcare, outdoor/active, software development, medium to large eCommerce brands, and manufacturing. Beginning my career hoping to utilize my English degree as a copywriter, I quickly found that I wanted to find more ways to have my content consumed. Transitioning my career into the digital marketing space has been a rewarding experience that continues to challenge me and gives me plenty of opportunities to learn and help others with the knowledge I've gained.
