Tell us about yourself?
I have worked in digital marketing for over 18 years, it has always been a natural talent and I just grew to understand how the web worked. After managing businesses from a young age, and then building one in my twenties I reached 36 and decided it was time for a new challenge, in an industry that badly needed help online
If you could go back in time a year or two, what piece of advice would you give yourself?
Take more care of your mind and body, ensure that you listen to your body more and take rest when its needed. Exercise more, take earlier nights and stop working around the clock.
What problem does your business solve?
It helps brands solve technical digital marketing challenges and learn more about their customers.
What is the inspiration behind your business?
I spotted many bad products starting to appear on the market, and with my background in e-commerce and digital marketing I wanted to help consumers ensure they found high quality, natural products.
What is your magic sauce?
I have a very unique methodology and processes that I have developed after 15 years of running a generic digital agency, and understand the products I am dealing with exceptionally well.
What is the plan for the next 5 years? What do you want to achieve?
Continue expanding the business around Europe, invest more into my team, and become the leading platform in Europe for CBD and hemp wellness products.
What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far?
Brexit, Covid, Market Complications, Financial Losses, Bad People, Health, Moving Country.
How do people get involved/buy into your vision?
We are looking for brands, from the UK and Europe to join us on a unique brand awareness journey.
