So since I'm starting at 0, I have no previous work to show anyone. How would you go about getting started and learning quickly on the job?

Start with popular non profits in your neihborhood, this is what I did. You do a good job with them and they spread the word to local businesses. Just make sure you let them know upfront that your goal is to blow there socks off and get local business referals to kick start your company.
Since you're doing marketing, scope them out first online and have a plan mapped out you can sell them on. When you call ask to speak to the non profits administrator.
Treat the non profit like your best paying customer DO NOT treat them like a charity case.
