You can accomplish anything you want in life if you work hard and stay consistent. Jake Sieber proves this statement true, as he has achieved unmatched success in his entrepreneurial journey.
Jake Sieber, a renowned entrepreneur from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is now the founder and CEO of Los Angeles-based marketing agency, Tech Butter. He attended Penn State University, where he pursued a degree in accounting and finance. Jake began his journey as an entrepreneur in his senior year. Most of his peers went on to pursue a master’s degree, but for Jake, he was sure this was not the path he wanted to take.
Jake was determined to follow his dream of being a successful entrepreneur. He joined hands with friends from his hometown to start an online jewelry company. Within its first year of operation, the jewelry company had grown immensely, and its online store was generating six-figure monthly revenues. In 2017, Jake felt it was time to move on to something new, and he decided to split ways and sold his entire interest in the company to their investors.
Later, Jake reconnected with fellow Penn State friends and classmates who also lived and worked in New York City to build a unique and diverse collection of charger bracelets and other charging accessories. The bracelet was designed to be just as appealing as it is functional, and their product came out amazing from a unisex fashion standpoint. The product’s capability of “reviving” your phone battery ultimately became the reason for naming the company Revive. Their Instagram handle @revive grew and gained over 50,000 followers. Additionally, they delivered tens of thousands of orders to customers from 100+ countries worldwide. In 2018, they moved Revive’s headquarters to Los Angeles.
While in Los Angeles, Revive was acquired by a group of venture capitalists and Jake was again looking for a fresh start. By the end of 2019 and into 2020, he launched his newest and most current company, Tech Butter. Tech Butter is an integrated marketing and consulting agency that helps companies develop and execute a social media-based marketing strategy with a primary focus on generating quality leads through creative advertising and targeted organic exposure. They help their clients generate the exposure needed to attract new followers and generate website traffic. Tech Butter uses the internet and social media to provide new and creative ways to market their client’s products and services.
“The entrepreneurial route has not been easy or as seamless as it sounds and looks. Working for yourself can be very difficult and will come with its own challenges,” Jake explains. He says the biggest hurdle is finding and structuring the right team to build a company. Additionally, he says it is challenging to delegate responsibilities and establish accountability, especially when your partners are also close friends.
Jake’s journey as a successful entrepreneur taught him that persistence is vital. He encourages other entrepreneurs never to give up because things don’t go their way. He says each day presents a new opportunity for you to progress and get closer to accomplishing your goals. You only have to stay focused and passionate and never hesitate to pursue your dreams.
In the coming years, Jake envisions Tech Butter becoming the “go-to” online agency for helping clients develop a refreshed approach to their integrated marketing and advertising strategy. He aspires to grow the Tech Butter team and hire more employees. Also, he wants to work alongside like-minded, motivated individuals who are entrepreneurial and driven purely by success and create mutual value for those within his network.
