Freddie works closely with startup founders, small business owners, partners, and community leaders to develop strategic campaigns and compelling narratives that elevate entrepreneurs, strengthen brand awareness, and drive measurable engagement. His work focuses on connecting mission-driven storytelling with modern marketing execution to help entrepreneurs and the broader innovation economy grow.

In addition to his marketing leadership, Freddie is an entrepreneur. In 2016, he founded BrewBoat Cleveland, a first-of-its-kind pedal-powered party boat experience on the Cuyahoga River. He scaled the business successfully and exited in 2021. That firsthand experience as a founder informs his work at JumpStart, giving him a practical understanding of the risks, resilience, and resourcefulness required to build and grow a business.

Freddie has spent the majority of his career building brands, promoting regional resources, and leading high-impact digital and integrated marketing efforts. Freddie brings a continually evolving strategic and executional knowledge base across brand development, website strategy, content and video production, email marketing, social media, public relations, and multi-channel campaign leadership.

Prior to joining JumpStart, Freddie led digital communications for Positively Cleveland, Northeast Ohio’s convention and tourism bureau, where he received multiple industry awards for website development and video production. He also served as the founding Managing Producer for Cleveland’s premier nightlife and entertainment website, Metromix.com.

Freddie holds a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Media Communications and Media Production from The University of Akron.
