Why I Do This Work

Hi, I’m Damian. I run Archeio Marketing here in Portland.

I help small businesses and organizations get clear on what they want to say—and help them actually say it. Through strategy, content, and social that works.

I started Archeio after watching too many good people burn time and money on marketing that didn’t make sense. Too many bloated strategies. Too many empty ads.
Too much content that sounded like it came from a bot—or a boardroom.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

My approach is simple:

Start with what’s real
Make it clear and useful
Use AI where it helps (not where it doesn’t)
Keep refining until it clicks

I’ve worked in healthcare, nonprofits, and digital media. I know how to make content that looks good—and actually connects.

Whether you need a one-off campaign or long-term support, I’ll help you show up like a human, not a brand.

I practice what I pitch

When I launched This Cookie Is…, my own cookie business here in Portland, I treated it like a client project.

I built the voice, visuals, website, and packaging—start to finish.

It’s weird. It’s experimental.

And it lets me test what actually works—in the real world, not just in theory.

It’s also a reminder: small businesses aren’t just “projects.” They’re personal.

Who I Work With

I work best with small, Portland-area businesses (usually under 20 people) that are community-minded and care about what they’re building. Also, if you happen to run a bakery, I might accept payment in bread.

If you're curious, collaborative, and want to build something that connects—we’ll get along just fine. You don’t need to be a marketing pro. Just show up, ask questions, and be open to the process.

This isn’t a one-way street. I’m not here to drop off a shiny deliverable and vanish. I’m here to help you grow, solve real problems, and build something steady—with clarity, consistency, and a little humor when it helps.

What I Actually Do

I help small teams get clear on what they want to say—and help them say it. No fluff. Just useful, real-world marketing that works.

What I'm Aiming For

I’m not trying to scale big. I just want to be a steady, trusted partner for small Portland-area teams who want honest, useful marketing. I believe in clarity over complexity, and strategy that works in real life—not just in pitch decks.

What does 'Archeio'
mean?

Arche and Io are both moons of Jupiter—one small but important, the other the biggest and most powerful.

In ancient Greek, arche means “beginning” or “first principle”—the foundation of everything.

Archeio Marketing brings those ideas together: smart, strategic work that starts small but makes a real impact.

Because great marketing isn’t just about being seen.
It’s about being remembered.
