Everette Taylor: The Marketing Trailblazer Changing The Game

No success story happens over night. And for the marketing trailblazer Everette Taylor, homelessness and other adversities made the road to creating his own enterprise challenging, but surely not impossible. 

Almost 12 years ago, at the age of 17, the Richmond, VA native was homeless. This alone would be a major setback for anyone, but Everette, knowing what he wanted to do for the rest of his life, followed his passions against all odds. 

Humble Beginnings

Taylor’s first steps were attending Virginia Polytechnic University, and although his later decision was to drop out of school, it pushed him towards a direction that would allow him to step into more opportunities. At the age of 19, he started his own event marketing software company. With much success, Taylor was able to sell the company only two years after its creation.

Taylor became the VP of Marketing of what is now Xenon Ventures shortly after selling his company. But then there was Qualaroo, a marketing software company that specialized in behavioral insight surveying. Taylor was a major component and leader in the successful acquisition of the company. 

 

Being a man of connections and networking, during his time with Qualaroo and before the acquisition, he met Sean Ellis. The two would then partner to start GrowthHackers, a SaaS and growth hacking community. The company’s mission is to help other companies not only establish themselves, but to maintain continual growth through a cross-functional, value-based approach.

Marketing, ET Enterprises and More

These experiences have turned Everette Taylor into a groundbreaker in the community of marketing and entrepreneurship. Multi-million-dollar brands is what he helps build best. 

Most recently, in 2018, Taylor founded ET Enterprises, where he sits as the CEO. In this role, he oversees a sundry group of companies. These include: Millisense, Popsocial, Southside Fund and Hayver. 

Everette Taylor also teamed up with Lexus, Disney, Nationwide Insurance, AT&T and more. 

The marketing genius is the essence of hard work, consistency and the will to win. He has no intentions of slowing down, and that goes beyond his normal sector of work. Taylor has proven that he is a marketing connoisseur and is now using his talents in a completely different domain: the art world.

Early in 2020, Taylor tweeted:
