Social Media Marketing and Networking with Rob Kearsey Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

Through his social media marketing agency, RMK Marketing, Rob provides strategic and effective social media marketing solutions for people, brands and agencies. He work across all the major social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest & YouTube, and in a diverse range of industries, including e-commerce, travel, property, financial services, health & wellbeing and publishing.

RMK Marketing was set up during the first summer of the COVID 19 pandemic. Rob was furloughed from his job and decided it was worth trying to get his own agency set up. Before RMK, he had worked in the agency world as a social media specialist, and so knew roughly what he needed to do to bring in new clients and deliver results for them. He's been part of the social media space now for nearly a decade, and he's seen the rise of channels like Instagram & Tik Tok, and the fall of channels like Vine. During that time, he's worked for many well-known brands including TUI Travel, Teletext Holidays, Redrow Homes, Kiddylicious & more.

Rob knows the social media world like the back of his hand. This means he's able to provide a solution to any social media problem, and generate constantly improving results for his clients, whether that’s more leads or sales, improved brand awareness, or increases in followers and interactions.

Show notes

https://www.linkedin.com/in/dagmar-bryant/

“Life is not about sitting on the sidelines. To achieve success, you need to take calculated risks.”

Dagmar Bryant PhD is a UK based, Australian Motivational Speaker and Business coach who actively lives this motto.

She empowers and inspires women in a unique way – having gone through similar experiences that many women have. She encourages women to pursue their dreams and desires. She herself has fought against real-world obstacles:

•A super-controlling father who always wanted her to do things his way;

•A (ex-) husband who continually held her back.

She has achieved results by breaking free of limitations:

•A determined young mother wanting something “better” for herself and her kids;

•A resourceful woman who found a novel way to pursue a law degree and successful corporate career;

•Someone who uprooted her life in Australia to take a chance on a new one in America and then in the UK;

•A woman with an entrepreneurial spirit who built a successful coaching business to help others.

Her powerful blend of world-class intuition AND real-world experience gives her a message that deeply “speaks” to audiences of her events.

Attendees come away with both a PRACTICAL outline for reaching their dreams… and a touch of INSPIRATION that offers newfound insights.
