Mike Hakopyan
Mike Hakopyan is a Los Angeles–based marketer, AI systems architect, and founder of 7 Rock Marketing. For more than a decade, he’s helped e-commerce brands and local service businesses grow through a mix of conversion strategy, email/SMS lifecycle marketing, technical SEO, and AI-driven process automation.
Mike writes with the mindset of a builder — someone who has run real businesses, managed real budgets, and scaled real revenue. His articles blend practical experience, data-backed insights, and straight talk about what actually works in the field.
Across Shopify, Klaviyo, Google Business Profile, and full-stack AI automation tools like n8n and Replit, Mike focuses on eliminating operational bottlenecks, improving customer experience, and building systems that increase revenue without increasing overhead.
When he’s not working with clients, Mike teaches business owners how to take back control of their marketing through his SKOOL community, Agency Escape, where he shares frameworks, workflows, and real-world lessons from running an agency and multiple Shopify brands.
He lives in Glendale, CA with his wife and three kids and spends his downtime hiking, training, and tinkering with new AI tools.
