Summary

I measure marketing, build the website and the tools that make it easy to run, and teach the team to run it. Two years as the whole technical layer of a university research center, three years as an analyst on military housing studies, and a live commercial product built end to end for a client. M.S. in Digital Marketing, Cal Poly Pomona, the school's MSDM Student of the Year for 2026.

Experience

2025 – present

Independent consultant

jarrodgriffin.com

  • SectorPrompts (April 2026 to present): built a commercial report-generation product end to end for an independent consultant: web app, AI authoring pipeline, R and Quarto computation and rendering, Stripe checkout, Firebase sign-in, Google Cloud Run deployment. Every figure is computed by code. The model only writes the narrative. Live, with a checkout, and it has made its first sale.
  • Rising Stars Muay Thai (2025 to present): built a Sacramento fight promotion's website and its measurement from zero: Tag Manager event taxonomy, GA4, BigQuery raw-event export, R analysis, Looker Studio dashboard, and a written read-out after each event. Organic search converted at four times the rate of paid social, and nine in ten buyers decided the same day.
  • Site updates by email: clients describe a change in plain English, receive a preview link, and reply YES to publish.
Sept 2024 – Aug 2026

Marketing Analytics Specialist

Center for Customer Insights and Digital Marketing, Cal Poly Pomona

  • Served as the center's technical layer across its website, CRM, analytics, and workshop program: seven domains, about ten repositories.
  • Built a 31-command tool and a desktop editor for the campus CMS, turning multi-hour content audits into a single command.
  • Merged twelve contact lists into one de-duplicated HubSpot CRM, which made email analytics and automation possible for the first time.
  • Stood up a GA4 to BigQuery analytics stack with SQL views, a director-facing dashboard, and the center's data-driven annual report.
  • Designed and delivered hands-on workshops for graduate students on R, Quarto, Shiny, GitHub, Google Analytics, and HubSpot. Thirteen workshops across both stints, 19,000+ views on the recordings, and a series adopted as a graduate-course prerequisite.
  • Presented at the CBA Innovation Symposium in 2025 and 2026. The 2026 session became a classroom workshop in which people who had never built anything left with a live site and a working checkout.
  • Left a handoff of fifteen playbooks, a credential transfer checklist, and recorded walkthroughs so the work continued after I left.
Mar 2021 – Sept 2024

Associate Analyst

Robert D. Niehaus, Inc.

  • Collected and analyzed data for military installations across the United States as part of the Housing Market Analysis team, including in-person interviews and real estate data in each community.
  • Compiled and cleaned rental and utility data for 300 military housing areas for the Basic Allowance for Housing program.
  • Supported tenant satisfaction and military personnel housing surveys, including in-person housing quality reviews.
  • Replaced an unsafe manual field process with a phone-based route-recording app, used across 300+ installation studies.
  • Wrote and maintained R scripts for data collection and analysis, and ported Python scripts into the R workflow.
2019 – Jan 2021

Research Assistant, then Research Associate and Web Design and Media Analytics Team Lead

Center for Customer Insights and Digital Marketing, Cal Poly Pomona

  • Promoted from research assistant to research associate in spring 2020. Led the web design and media analytics team from August 2020.
  • Created and led a six-part R workshop series on programming, data wrangling, and visualization for more than 100 professionals, professors, and students. Recorded for graduate coursework.
  • Led a website navigation redesign, set up page-level tracking in HubSpot, and trained team members on HTML/CSS and the university CMS.
  • Presented research on state-of-origin effects at the 2020 Global Marketing Conference (Seoul), the CPP Student RSCA Conference, and the CBA RSCA Showcase.

Leadership

2025 – 2026
