Jacob Smith, COO
Jacob is well versed in the world of marketing, gaining his first experiences while in college where he was a marketing assistant for the #1 ranked University of Kentucky Basketball Team. Throughout his college years, he was also one of the main points of contact for the University’s Public Relations Department, and studied marketing and PR in London, England where he expanded his international knowledge of the industry. Apart from his marketing experience, Jacob has also seen the web development side of the business while working as an IT consultant for many years following his graduation.
Jacob was born and raised in Western Kentucky, where he learned there are no shortcuts to getting the job done right. He is engrained in all aspects of the SEO business with Gladiator and is dedicated to ensuring our clients success.
When Jacob is not behind his computer screen you can often find him at the lake with friends or taking a hike with his dog Sammie during the summer months. He is also an avid reader and huge Kentucky sports fan and always tries to make it back to his alma mater a few times a year to catch a game.
