Benjamin Hoppe

Alex is a very analytical person. While he might not be the driving force behind why a company succeeds or not he is a numbers guy and knows a lot of technical things about SEO, Marketing and data analytics.

Chris Daniel

Alex was instrumental in developing and implementing our marketing strategy. His assistance with lead generation and identifying qualified and interested customers was invaluable.

      Bela Development is a Los Angeles-based residential general contractor providing design and build services since 2014. I started working with Bela Development in 2018 as a representative of a construction marketing agency. Together with my team, I built Bela's first corporate website and several advertising campaigns. In 2022 we enhanced our contract by adding to the Bela Development marketing project more lead generation channels.

I started working with Bela Development in 2018 as a representative of a construction marketing agency. Together with my team, I built Bela's first corporate website and several advertising campaigns. In 2022 we enhanced our contract by adding to the Bela Development marketing project more lead generation channels. Not all of them were profitable but founders liked overall results measured in annual revenue change year-to-year. That's why they offered me a full-time job as a marketing director in 2023. Now our new goal is to double annual revenue again. We leverage organic and paid search, social proof platforms, branding, partnership program development, social media marketing, and retention strategies. Besides that, I am responsible for conversion rates and sales funnel optimization, content production and distribution, CRM, and customer experience. Perhaps you know a common view that there is a nightmare of being a customer of an average residential general contractor. And for many contractors, it is a sad but true story: finding a trustworthy general contractor is a challenge. So why did I accept the job offer? Because of our shared values and striving for the same motto: Bela Development's mission on this planet is to change the stereotype of being a residential general contractor. To bring to the construction and remodeling market a new industry standard. The new industry standard of being reliable, sane, responsible, and truly client-oriented design and build company. How Bela is capable to achieve and maintain it? Our values are really hard to copy, and I think the reason why is that values are something that we feel.
