Author · Agency operations & B2B marketing
Jake Jorgovan is an agency founder and B2B marketer who writes about how agencies win clients and deliver work. At Growth Partner Index, he focuses on the connection between marketing strategy and the operating processes that make an agency a dependable partner.
Background
Jake founded Content Allies, a B2B podcast production agency, and Lead Cookie, an outbound lead generation business. His experience spans selling agency services, building content programs and organizing the teams responsible for delivery.
His writing on process management describes how he used standard operating procedures, training and repeatable workflows at Content Allies and Lead Cookie. He distinguishes work that benefits from a defined process from custom projects that need a different approach to planning and communication.
That operating perspective shapes his coverage for agency buyers: how to assess scope, staffing, handoffs and delivery capacity alongside marketing expertise. His areas of focus include agency operating maturity, B2B business development, outbound lead generation, podcasting and content strategy.
