Quick Metal Shop: Building a Marketing Department From the Ground Up

image
When I joined Quick Metal Shop in January 2026 as the sole Growth Marketing Specialist, the company had no marketing department, no defined brand identity, and no digital infrastructure to speak of. I designed and built the company's full-stack marketing ecosystem from scratch, establishing their brand manual, SEO automation infrastructure, social channels, paid media tracking across two digital storefronts, and automated CRM pipelines. The company was operating two distinct digital storefronts (a B2B corporate site on Odoo, and a B2C Shopify store) but lacked any visibility into performance data, search console access, or lead generation engines behind either. With no brand manual, no established typography or color system, and no active B2B social media presence, the task was to architect a modern marketing department from the ground up as a team of one. My first move was to engineer a comprehensive Brand Manual before touching any channel or campaign. This document defined the company's visual identity: core color palette, typography system, tone of voice, and usage guidelines, all aligned to positioning Quick Metal Shop as the dominant metal fabrication brand in Puerto Rico. The Brand Manual served as the operational backbone for every subsequent marketing and design decision across the organization. Recognizing that organic search was an underdeveloped growth lever, I proposed and implemented Soro AI, an AI-powered blog automation tool, across both digital properties. The integration required embedding a custom code snippet directly into the Odoo CMS (B2B site) and the Shopify platform (B2C store). I built the company's Google Analytics and Google Search Console accounts from scratch, then linked Search Console directly to Soro AI to enable keyword-informed, automated blog publishing, establishing a compounding SEO engine that required zero ongoing manual effort. SEO Infrastructure and Analytics Setup
  • B2B Presence: Launched and fully managed the company's LinkedIn presence, establishing the brand in a professional B2B context where it had previously been invisible.
  • Thought Leadership: Proposed and deployed Holo AI to automate LinkedIn content generation, producing brand-aligned thought leadership posts at scale without sacrificing creative consistency.
  • B2C Channels: Managed Instagram and Facebook channels, developing and publishing content daily across both B2B and B2C narratives.
  • Full-Funnel Tracking: Deployed the Meta Pixel on both the Odoo B2B site and the Shopify B2C store, establishing complete tracking.
  • Campaign Execution: Designed, configured, and launched Meta Ads campaigns independently, covering everything from creative concept to audience targeting to budget management, on both B2B and B2C tracks simultaneously.
  • CRM Automation: Engineered a Zapier-to-Odoo CRM automation for B2B lead capture. Since Meta's native lead forms don't integrate with Odoo's CRM out of the box, I built a custom Zap that automatically routed lead data from Meta's Instant Forms directly into the CRM, eliminating manual data entry and establishing a real-time lead pipeline.
As the sole marketing leader, I operated a high-velocity, AI-augmented creative production workflow to scale content:

  • Higgsfield AI Suite (Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.0): for generating cinematic video content.
  • ElevenLabs: for professional voiceover generation.
  • Claude: for strategic copy, ideation, and content frameworks.
  • DaVinci Resolve & CapCut: for rapid editing and professional color grading.

  • Established the company's entire marketing infrastructure, including brand identity, SEO engine, paid media, social channels, and CRM automation, as a team of one within a single quarter.
  • Deployed a fully automated SEO pipeline across two separate CMS platforms linked to live search data, positioning the company for compounding organic visibility.
  • Eliminated manual lead management friction through a Zapier-to-Odoo CRM automation, ensuring no B2B leads generated through paid media fell through the cracks.
  • Cohesive Brand Adoption: The Brand Manual became the operational standard across the entire organization. When industrial designers built the company's ArquiExpo 2026 trade show stand, they executed it entirely within my brand guidelines, resulting in a stand recognized as one of the strongest visual presences at the event.
  • Cross-Storefront Tracking: Established seamless full-funnel paid media tracking across two storefronts (B2B + B2C) with independent Meta Ads campaign structures, enabling proper attribution and performance optimization for each revenue channel.
