Jesse Freitas creates leads through a variety of channels and content. He is into all things marketing with a focus on Digital Marketing driving e-commerce growth. He is constantly adapting to new technologies, updates, and channels day to day. Jesse is a content creator, whether it be blog writing, social media, video direction, building landing pages or SnapChat story building. He loves brand management and takes pride in the StickerGiant personality he helps manage and control. He also manages and oversees all Paid Search and Digital Advertising.


Jesse created #NationalStickerDay, which is on January 13th annually, and came up with the whacky idea of Saul the #LargestStickerBall who is now a Guinness World Record. This Public Relations campaign brought a lot of notoriety to StickerGiant including mentions in ABC News across 14 major US Cities, an appearance on 9NEWS KUSA in studio, a joke on Late Night with Seth Myers and the pending launch of the record in the Guinness World Records Book this Fall 2018. It was a crazy idea... that worked.
