About Contrive Digital
We help businesses turn who they are into marketing that connects.
Contrive Digital is built for businesses that need their marketing to reflect the strength of what they have already built. The right marketing mix depends on the business, the stage, and what goals you have.
What Drives the Work
These are the values that connect us and how we show up.
Respect
We listen first. We treat people and ideas with empathy, clarity, and positive intent.
Creativity
We tell stories that connect and build ideas that people remember.
Growth
We keep learning, testing, and improving. Consistent progress is the key scale.
Belonging
We create space for different perspectives, because stronger ideas come from more than one point of view.
Connection
We build trust through honest conversations, steady follow-through, and work that feels human.
The Collective
You get strategy at the leadership level and subject matter experts when needed. We build the team around your scope, not the other way around. Brand designers, SEO strategists, paid media experts, videographers, social media managers. Every person we bring in runs their own practice and has real expertise in it.
That structure also means you benefit from people who challenge each other. When multiple disciplines are working on the same problem, the thinking gets sharper. That is where better creative and strategy come from.
There are a lot of talented marketers who want to do great work and stay close to the brands they help. The collective gives them that. You get the result of that collaboration.
Meet Jesse Freitas
I started my career in hospitality while earning my marketing degree from MSU Denver. Guest experiences became my first lessons in storytelling. At The Stanley Hotel, I ran the entire Tour operation, rebranding it from the ground up. I rewrote the tour scripts, dug into the hotel’s history, and built an experience people wanted to talk about and share.
During that time, I also worked with the Denver Film Society on the inaugural Stanley Film Fest. That stretch of my career shaped how I think about brand, audience, and experience design.
From there, I moved fully into marketing and kept building from the inside, learning how strong businesses grow when brand, experience, and demand are working in the same direction.
Building Brands That Grow
At StickerGiant, I helped grow the business from roughly $5 million to more than $32 million in annual revenue. I led marketing strategy, built the creative team, guided product and go-to-market work, and helped position the company for a successful sale in 2022.
Projects like National Sticker Day and Saul the Sticker Ball helped grow awareness, but the bigger story was building the systems, structure, and brand strength that supported long-term growth.
That growth came from connecting brand to business performance, building internal structure, and creating a marketing function that could support scale instead of just chasing campaigns.
- Built and led high-performing marketing teams
- Owned brand, website, conversion, and growth strategy
- Connected marketing to product, operations, and leadership
- Helped guide the business through acquisition
After StickerGiant, I moved into broader marketing leadership across multiple B2C and B2B e-commerce brands. I have led large departments and worked as a one-person team. Both shaped how I approach the work now.
