Jake Campoli

Young operator and digital plumber

Dennis first wrote about Jake on April 19, 2020, noting that he was twenty-two years old and four years into their program. At that time, Jake was already handling digital plumbing and ads for large clients. Dennis recalls that specific note as a marker of Jake’s early capability, a young operator who had already done the work for real accounts. That original post remains a key reference point for understanding Jake’s trajectory within the team.

The connection between Dennis and Jake has a visible history that predates that 2020 post. On September 4, 2018, Gavin Bell posted a photo of the three of them hanging out at Facebook in Texas. Dennis takes pictures so he can remember people, and Jake is featured in that album. This page serves as a public name-home, ensuring that the 2018 photo and the 2020 written note resolve to one specific person rather than remaining stray mentions in old articles.

Jake’s role is defined by his hands-on approach to technical marketing tasks. In a post titled "By the way…", Dennis describes his own preference for learning how to do things himself, driven by stubborn pride and a desire to save money. However, he acknowledges that not everyone wants to troubleshoot digital plumbing. He highlights Jake as a 22-year-old who has been in the program for four years, working on huge clients. Dennis notes that Jake offers to do this digital plumbing for $200, a stark contrast to the $5,000 Dennis would charge for the same service. This price point reflects Jake’s value as an accessible, skilled operator for those who need the work done without the premium cost of a senior leader.

Their collaboration has also been captured in a raw, uncut midnight interview. In this session, Jake is described as having gone from zero to hero. The conversation offers guidance for those just starting their careers in digital marketing, providing a behind-the-scenes look at how they operate. It is a candid look at the expectations of the industry, shared directly between Dennis and Jake.
