This Book Is For
- Owner-directors of digital marketing agencies between £400,000 and £1 million of annual gross profit.
- They have more than 10 staff and have been trading for more than 3 years.
- They don’t want to build the biggest agency in the world, but they do want to grow.
- Their growth has stalled.
- They’re unhappy. They’re struggling to win new business, recruit staff and stay motivated themselves.
Oh wait, that’s not you?
Stay with me. Don’t go anywhere…
The book’s target audience is very specific. There’s good reason for this. If the above description doesn’t describe you, that’s OK. You can still get massive value from reading this book.
If you’re remotely involved in marketing (NB: everybody in business is), you need a target audience. But you also need to understand that your target is not your market. Your target is the bullseye, your market is much wider.
Many more people are able to get value from, or buy from you, than those that you specifically communicate with. If you target a very specific group of people it is inevitable that others will be pulled into your orbit. The same applies to this book.
