Personal summary

๐ŸŸข Is your business struggling to attract as many buyers as you might like? ๐ŸŸข Are you tired of your carefully crafted emails going unanswered? ๐ŸŸข Are you tired of wasting money on Ad spend with little to no result? ๐ŸŸข Do you think you need to run Google or Facebook Ads but don't know where to start? ๐ŸŸข Do you not know where your next client is coming from? I help local businesses grow by: โœ”๏ธ Bringing in new customers; โœ”๏ธ Retaining and re-engaging existing clientele; and โœ”๏ธ Running high-impact, low cost Google and Facebook ads that convert. Most businesses I work with have started off with problems in at least one of these areas. As a former struggling small business owner myself, I totally relate, and pull out all the stops to work with you to scale your business at pace. All my past work has resulted in a hugely positive ROI. I am always 100% on my client's side and totally FOR them. My main service offerings include: โœ… Message marketing (sending enticing offers to attract new and previous clients to your business); โœ… Lead Generation (through exciting and engaging Facebook and Google Ad campaigns); and โœ… Search Engine Optimisation (ranking your website on the first page of Google to increase your online visibility and encourage organic business growth). I also offer one-off social media audits to make your profiles and pages pop, as well as reputation management to mitigate the often devastating effect of negative reviews whilst showcasing your best side. My journey into Digital Marketing has not been a straight path. I was originally a professional guitarist, and can remember many years ago being repeatedly told by my teachers and mentors, "Marketing is the most important thing you can focus on and learn NOW while you have chance". I did not heed their advice at the time as much as I should have, but it did pique my interest and so I embarked on a little self-learning and began to get to grips with some basic marketing strategies that helped attract some of my first guitar students. This developed further into my private tuition business, where I learned the hard way that if your marketing strategy isn't sound (and if you don't know how to write engaging ad copy and run successful, optimised ad campaigns), then you're shooting yourself in the foot. No matter how brilliant your services, if you don't know how to effectively market yourself, it's essentially like trying to get business by screaming at the top of your lungs in an empty forest, or by whispering in a crowded room: Neither strategy is particularly successful. As I tried to grow my business, I primarily relied on word-of-mouth referrals. I was able to grow to some extent, but things were volatile. I didn't have a steady stream of new customers ready to replace anyone who stopped working with me, which resulted in extremely unreliable income with huge ups and downs in revenue. I had to rely on working for an instrumental lesson provider to meet my income needs. On the plus side, they taught me how to package my tuition services as attractively as possible, and to sell, sell, sell. On the downside, the working conditions were terrible, and I wanted out. I knew there had to be a better way, so I started to learn about Digital Marketing and eventually took the plunge to invest in professional training. Through that training I uncovered a hidden passion for marketing and realised the value of providing these skills and services to other small businesses who may be struggling in similar ways to myself... And so my own Digital Marketing Agency was born. The systems I employ are tried, tested and return fantastic results, typically converting 40 - 60% of leads into customers for my clients. I'd love the opportunity to repeat these results with you. Over the years, learning my instrumental craft has taught me resilience, the importance of prioritising my time to see great results, and that hard work, commitment and perseverance ALWAYS pay off. As a husband and father, I've learned how to meet deadlines and balance my time commitments between multiple projects at both home and work. My values are rooted in my faith, which keeps me grounded and with a heart to serve others. I'm friendly and accommodating, punctual, and a clear communicator: You'll find me extremely easy to work with. Finally, as a teacher I've worked with some of the most difficult learners in the UK, including those locked away in maximum security prisons, and know how to get them to consider their own bright future when all hope seems lost. Perhaps you feel like that in your business: Locked away, invisible to your customers, and trapped with no place to go in a hopeless situation. I'd love to show you the doorway to your success, to help you open it, and to walk through it right beside you. I'm new to the platform, but don't let that put you off. Drop me a message to see how I can help you grow your business now!
