About

Nice to meet you, my name’s Johnathan Vance (my lovely fiancee there is Taylor)! If you found my page, you’ve likely seen some of my content. Whether that’s my socials, stories, or marketing work. Regardless of how you got here, I genuinely want to say thank you for stopping by.

So who am I anyway?

The short version: I am an author, digital marketing instructor, consultant, and gamer nerd through and through. Using these skills, I help others learn to connect. Whether that means helping a brand develop the ability to evoke real, honest emotions in their customer base, or helping my readers to discover pieces of themselves that they’d forgotten they had; I truly believe this is my purpose.

Okay, but what does that mean?

Basically, it means that I help people realize the best versions of themselves and their projects through a dedicated skill set cultivated over 10 years in marketing leadership and creative writing combined.

People often ask me how these two things are even remotely related and I always give the same answer: Humans love stories. Business is no exception to this.

I’ve served as:

  • Entertainment intern at the Walt Disney Company

  • Creative ghostwriter for romance novellas that sizzle

  • Chief Marketing Officer of a Healthcare Marketing Agency

  • Content Strategist for tons of growth stage companies

  • Mentor to numerous junior marketers and liaison to many agencies

  • Consultant to a variety of brands on the importance of storytelling

  • Writer for small gaming studios (barks, item descriptions, scripts, and more)

Take a look at my service offerings, my Vella works, or just shoot me a message to talk. I’d be happy to elaborate more on what it is I can do for you or your business.

Description

<p><span><span>Harold Godwineson, the Last Anglo-Saxon King, owed everything to his father. Who was this Godwine, first Earl of Wessex and known as the Kingmaker? Was he an unscrupulous schemer, using King and Witan to gain power? Or was he the greatest of all Saxon Earls, protector of the English against the hated Normans? The answer depends on who you ask. He was befriended by the Danes, raised up by Canute the Great, given an Earldom and a wife from the highest Danish ranks. He sired nine children, among them four Earls, a Queen and a future King. Along with his power came a struggle to keep his enemies at bay, and Godwine's best efforts were brought down by the misdeeds of his eldest son Swegn. Although he became father-in-law to a reluctant Edward the Confessor, his fortunes dwindled as the Normans gained prominence at court. Driven into exile, Godwine regathered his forces and came back even stronger, only to discover that his second son Harold was destined to surpass him in renown and glory.</span></span></p>
