Dakota Martin

Marketing Designer with 8+ years of experience creating high-performing digital and physical marketing assets, including social media campaigns, paid ads, and branded content.

I specialize in designing content that captures attention and drives action across platforms, with hands-on experience in META Ads Manager, Google Ads, and multi-channel marketing including billboards, radio, and commercial campaigns.

My background also includes photography, print design, and production work, giving me a full understanding of the creative process from concept to final delivery.

Outside of my professional work, I’ve spent 5+ years as a content creator in the gaming space, producing over 2,000 videos and designing 2,000+ thumbnails. This experience gives me a strong understanding of audience behavior, engagement, and what drives performance in modern digital content.

I’m especially interested in opportunities within the gaming industry where I can contribute to marketing campaigns, creator partnerships, and community-driven initiatives.
