Case study 03 · Current role

The whole function, one person.

Marketing Manager at ACP Waterjet — a precision waterjet, laser and sheet-metal shop in Littleton, Massachusetts, selling speed to engineers: "Parts in days, not weeks." I'm the entire in-house marketing function. This case study is written differently from the others, on purpose — read on for why.

Why there are no percentages on this page

I started in July 2026. Publishing growth numbers against a few weeks of tenure is how marketers teach you to distrust their other numbers — so this page holds the mandate, the method and the work itself, all of which you can inspect. The first honest measurement window closes in October; the numbers arrive then, flagged like everything else on this site. How a marketer reports in month one tells you how they'll report in month twelve.

The one artifact you can check from your chair

Open acpwaterjet.com, view source, and read the metadata — it's my copy, in production:

<title> Waterjet & Laser Cutting in Massachusetts | ACP Waterjet <meta name="description"> "Waterjet cutting, laser cutting, and sheet metal fabrication in Littleton MA. Upload a CAD file for instant pricing. No minimums, 24 hour quotes, parts in days."

Very few candidate portfolios can say "go view-source my work." Keyword strategy: state + service head terms, instant-pricing differentiator, speed promise — for a shop competing on turnaround.

The first 90 days

What success is defined as

The measures were set on day one: quote-request volume (the business outcome), organic traffic to service pages, keyword positions for the state + service head terms, and email engagement off a clean list. When the window closes, those numbers land here — flagged, with baselines — and this page graduates from mandate to results.
