I make brands look premium, sell more, and run on autopilot.
I'm Leon Szczaurski, Fort Lauderdale. Eight years across video production, brand growth, and business automation, and founder of Happy Client LLC. Everything on this page actually happened, and most of it you can still click.
What do you need?
Different companies need me for different things. Each lane below has its own track record and its own CV.
A videographer / content creator
Shoots, edits, and 30-video batches — end to end, by one person.
Marketing & business growth
Brand launches, retail distribution, trade shows, digital visibility.
Systems, AI & automation
CRMs, AI agents, and automations that remove busywork.
Content built to sell, not just to look good.
I come from marketing, not film school. Every shot is framed with the ad account, the product page, and the scroll in mind — so the result looks premium and pulls its weight commercially.
MindBlend mushroom coffee — a full content engine in two shoot days
- ~30 short-form vertical videos (15–45s) for Instagram, TikTok, and paid social
- 60+ product and lifestyle stills
- Concept, shot list, filming, lighting, edit, and delivery — one person, end to end
- Delivered organized by use case, ready to post
Two brands I worked on became #1 in their market.
Eight years, from 200 cold calls a day to regional campaigns. I've launched brands into retail, run trade-show circuits, managed budgets and promo teams, and consulted dozens of small businesses on getting found online.
Founder & Creative Lead · Happy Client LLC
My own agency: premium content, brand growth, and self-hosted AI systems for small businesses — concept to delivery, one person. Runs alongside the recent roles below.
Marketing Advisor · Adler Social
Consulted SMBs in hospitality, wellness, and retail on digital strategy. Improved client visibility across Google, social, and the web by an average of 76.8%.
Brand Development / Account Executive · Kats Kratom
Took a leading direct-to-consumer kratom brand into brick-and-mortar retail: built the smoke-shop wholesale channel across South Florida and supported expansion into Orlando, Tampa, and Fort Myers. Built the full B2B outreach system — call and gatekeeper scripts, email sequences, and named-account campaigns.
Regional Marketing Manager · Earth Kratom
Ran a $15K monthly budget and 6–7 trade shows a year with promo teams I hired and led. Launched a new vape brand into 150+ retail stores and 10+ wholesalers across Georgia, the Carolinas, and Alabama in 10 weeks; it became the #1 picked-up brand in Georgia and Florida.
Marketing & Business Development · Fume
Helped originate and manage a $24M annual distribution agreement and contributed to the brand's European market entry. Helped make Fume the most popular vape brand in Florida. Sponsored III Points Festival; supported a 25-car branded fleet activation.
Sales & Marketing Rep · Squid Distribution
B2B foundation: 200+ outreach calls a day; improved client retention 88%.
Freelance Social Media Manager · multiple clients
Grew Instagram and Facebook accounts for clients in publishing, wellness, and speaking faster than their competitors.
When the campaign works, I build the machine that keeps it working.
Founder of Happy Client LLC. I build the systems a business runs on after marketing brings people in — CRMs, automations, AI agents, and infrastructure I host on hardware I own. Including this site.
Second Brain (2b) — my self-hosted command center
One Markdown vault, a board of live widgets — notes, finances, calls — and a cabinet of AI agents that work it daily. Runs on hardware I own, reachable from my Mac and my phone. The kind of system I build.
See how it works ↗Distributor CRM
A complete self-hosted CRM built for a wholesale distributor: margins by category, credit risk by shop, dead-stock alerts, a reorder calendar, and a portal where shops place their own orders. Works offline, runs on one box, no subscriptions.
AI Visibility (AX)
AI search is the new front door. I audit and rebuild how a business reads to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI so it gets found — and cited — when customers ask.
Business automation
n8n pipelines that take over the repetitive layer: follow-ups, inquiries, invoices, daily reporting. The owner stops being glued to a screen.
Self-hosted infrastructure
This site, my file sharing, and my internal dashboards run on hardware I own, published through an outbound-only tunnel. No rented cloud, no exposed ports.

I'm Leon — based in Fort Lauderdale. I run a content + AI-automation agency, build my own self-hosted infrastructure to stay in control of my data, and document the journey along the way. I like systems that are private, durable, and mine — and I'm happiest when something I built is quietly running in the background, doing its job without me. If it's on this page, it exists and it works.
