Meet Your Next Brand Partner
SHANNON MATTERN
Hi, I’m Shannon Mattern, Founder and CEO of the Web Designer Academy and host of the Profitable Web Designer Podcast.
For over a decade, I’ve helped thousands of women web designers go from selling “just a website” to confidently charging premium prices for their intellectual property, strategy, and implementation – without overdelivering or burning out.
I bring deep marketing experience to my collaborations, having spent 15 years in corporate marketing roles before venturing out to build my own business from the ground up. I've partnered with over 100 brands, creators, and educators to connect them with the right audiences in ways that drive real results.
I’m committed to creating win-win-win partnerships that serve my audience, elevate brands I believe in, and build sustainable revenue streams for everyone involved.
If your brand values education, connection, belonging, lifelong learning and shares my mission to help creative and professional service providers (especially women) to build profitable, flexible, and freedom-driven businesses, then I can't wait to introduce you to my audience.
I’d love to explore how we can collaborate to make an even bigger impact together. Reach out to me directly at shannon@webdesigneracademy.com to start the conversation.
