For the past three years, Limarc could be found at the website HackerNoon where he worked as the VP of Editorial. Nursing a long-running passion for dynamic content creation, Limarc has been in the digital writing scene since the age of 20. Past articles at HackerNoon not only reveal Limarc’s varied interests but also his drive to help others optimize their content for global, online audiences. In one article, titled “Why Targeting Single-Word Keywords Doesn’t Work for Evergreen Content,” Limarc educates readers on the importance of the longtail search phrase universe and outlines how limiting and general single-word keywords can be in terms of total search volume. In other words, single-word keywords tend to have a large search volume and thus higher competition than longer, more specific phrases that are perhaps more targeted or relevant to audiences searching for your specific content on the web. Another succinct article, “ How to Redirect Your AMP URLs on WordPress in Bulk w/Redirection Plugin,” delves into the more technical aspects of WordPress and guides his audience through an intricate process that Limarc handles with a deft, gentle hand, instructing, informing, and providing immediate utility to readers. In terms of content that is relevant, timely, and offers an immediate answer to a reader’s problem, Limarc shows an adept mastery of the medium and provides a comforting, familiar voice that underscores the depth of his content. Given these strengths, his current role comes as less a surprise and more like a natural progression of his career trajectory.
Now working for TaskUs as Director of Marketing, he is continuing to rise up the ranks and hopes to bring his honed talents and experiences over the years to his new position at TaskUs. Providing digital customer experience consulting, risk and response strategy, trust and safety practices, talent management, and even AI services, TaskUs is a universal solution for companies seeking to refine and optimize their brand identity across multiple media channels. Given the vast media landscape out there and the fast-changing ground underneath everyone’s feet, having this kind of resource in your corner can be a game changer for firms looking to differentiate themselves from an otherwise crowded field.
