About

AI has rewired how buyers find information, and most content programs are still playing by 2019 rules. I'm not. I build B2B content programs engineered for how people actually discover and evaluate enterprise tech now: GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) alongside traditional SEO, not instead of it. What I bring: content strategy and messaging architecture, ABM and web campaign copy, white papers, case studies, thought leadership, email nurture programs, landing pages, webinar scripts, sales one-pagers, battle cards, product launches. Twenty-plus years building the full stack for AI/ML, data infrastructure, and enterprise SaaS companies, so I know which pieces actually move a deal forward. If your product is complicated and your buyer is skeptical, that’s my lane. Work samples: https://lorinelson-king.journoportfolio.com/
