About Slake Marketing

Good Businesses Deserve
to Be Easier to Find.

A strong business can still lose customers between search and contact. Slake connects strategy, local visibility, and website improvements so the right people have a clearer reason to choose you.

I’m Evan O’Brien, Founder of Slake.

I founded Slake in 2015. My work spans positioning, messaging, website design, and the systems that help businesses attract and respond to customers.

These days, I help business owners spend less time piecing marketing together and more time running the business. FOUND is Slake’s managed local search system, helping customers find and choose your business, 24/7.

The Experience Behind the Approach

Built Around Real
Business Problems.

I’ve worked on both sides of the brief: building a company, leading creative work, and helping owners turn a good idea into a practical plan.

01 / Clear Thinking

Make the Message Click.

People should not have to work out why your business is worth choosing. My background in storytelling helps turn a complicated offer into something clear, specific, and memorable.

02 / Founder Experience

I’ve Been on Your Side of the Table.

As Capturely’s co-founder and Chief Creative Officer, I worked across brand, product concepts, and customer experience. That keeps the marketing connected to how a business actually runs.

03 / Practical Strategy

A Plan Is Only Useful If It Gets Built.

Fractional CMO and go-to-market consulting taught me to connect the audience, the offer, and the work. At Slake, that means clear priorities and hands-on execution, with AI and automation handling routine work.

The Approach Behind FOUND

Profile updates. Local SEO and business listings. Existing website improvements. Monthly local ranking checks and reporting.

Your website works. But is it working for your business? We build on a site that is performing and address the gaps when it is not. A standard managed website and hosting are included with FOUND when needed. Advanced work is quoted separately.
