Si has worked in Marketing for 10 years, previously he worked as a Designer specializing in branding and packaging. He realised his passion for Marketing when in previous roles, Design and Marketing departments merged and he found his sweet spot.
He loves to see people progress and develop into new places they wouldn't expect to find themselves in and puts this as one of his biggest career highlights along with winning awards for 'Best Design Team' multiple years in a row.
His biggest piece of Marketing advice would be, as is prevalent with this course, there are no quick hacks for anything, it's all about working hard and being thorough and detailed.
At the weekends, you'll find him with a homebrew/speciality coffee in hand with his family and Puppy, Honey.
Rob is the owner and founder of 'Playfair Marketing' and has worked in Marketing for 19 years. In his early days, you could find him working as a Paper boy, on the Waitrose Bakery counter and as a Dishwasher in a pub all so he could afford a beloved Moped aged 16 (he's always been a grafter!).
His career highlights are being able to grow a successful team who are able to spread the Marketing know-how whilst being nice people in the process. He's also featured on a number of TV/radio programmes spreading awareness of worthwhile campaigns.
His biggest piece of Marketing advice would be to always put yourself in the shoes of the consumer when coming up with ideas, they come first.
When he's not beavering away at growing a business, you'll find him relaxing with his wife and kids, watching Arsenal (sometimes win?!) with a beer in hand (we like a drink here at Playfair!).

What do we mean by profitable? It's all in the ROAS!
At Playfair Marketing, the agency behind Digital Marketing Pro, we consistently achieve a return-on-ad-spend (ROAS) of between 4 and 10 for our customers.
What does that mean? It means for every £1 spent, £4-10 is made in revenue.
It isn't some hack or silver bullet, or even luck that gets these results.
It's KNOWLEDGE. It's INSIGHTS. It's TIME.
It's TESTING (TESTING, TESTING, TESTING...).
So many people don't appreciate this - and this is why we created Succeed with Digital Advertising. We provide the core knowledge and insights into best practices and possibilities.
We help you invest the time in creating your ad plan, armed with this knowledge. Then we set you on a journey to evaluate and test your way to that profitability
Invest in the knowledge, insights, time and testing and you WILL succeed.
If you've completed the course, filled out your ad plan, created your ads, consistently tested and refined, and you're still not seeing results (this won't happen by the way), we'll happily refund your full course fee.*
That's how confident we are that you'll find success. It takes investment and time, but those seemingly 'lofty' ROAS numbers become so much more attainable if you put in the time.
There are no 'hacks', 'shortcuts', or 'tricks' that cheat the system. Running successful ads takes investment in resources and time.

With 30+ combined years experience working with top brands, small businesses and startups, we’ve spent millions of pounds and invested even more hours in helping our clients grow their businesses online.
On March 22nd 2017, my life changed forever.
When the dust had settled after being inches from death during the Westminster Bridge terror attack, I asked my wife what she wanted for our future. With two young children at home, her answer was simple: to be able to be at home more and do what makes me happy.
At the time I was a successful but unfulfilled Global Marketing Director, so I decided to set up Playfair Marketing and use the skills I'd honed to build my own business. My marketing knowledge enabled me to work to my own schedule and do what I loved, helping people succeed and be as happy as I’d become.
My team and I have helped transform the fortunes of many through digital advertising, so we decided to package 20+ years of experience into an online course so that you can do the same for your business, or indeed become a marketing expert yourself and follow my path to happiness.
There's a whole load of BS out there:
Guru's claiming they can make you a millionaire (when they don't know your brand, market, cashflow situation, or anything else relevant).
One-hit 'tricks' and 'quick wins' that might have worked in a very specific situation but will never be transferrable or - more importantly - scalable.
We're being transparent here - the experts at Digital Marketing Pro have found success through clear planning, good execution, and methodical testing to FIND success. And that's what we teach in this course.
No matter your industry or niche - you'll have a product or service that adds value, and you'll have an audience of potential customers. This course is designed to establish that value, and communicate it in the best way to your best audience.
Succeed with Digital Advertising helps you find your audience, and move them towards taking a valuable action - whether that be a sale, booking, contact - this course will help you achieve those actions.
No! The same applies as the above - you have a product or service, and you have an audience you need to provide that product or service to. You'll find your audience, and communicate to them in the right way, setting out on a journey to find profitable results.
You're never alone with Digital Marketing Pro! Of course we're in the video classes helping you on the way, and you've got the Digital Marketing Pro Facebook Community for extra support.
But - this is about creating ad campaigns - and actual ads that go within. We provide a lot of advice on how to easily create ads, but if you're looking for something like a high-production video, you'll need help if you don't have the equipment and skills yourself.
Playfair Marketing, the team behind Digital Marketing Pro, offer video production services should you need help!
Not at all, this course is designed to help anyone and everyone who needs it! We'll take you through the principles of marketing and advertising before getting into any deeper topics.
You'll at least have an understanding of how to communicate to your audience, as well the 'advertising funnel' (the journey your potential customer takes toward becoming an actual customer).
We're not going to lie - growth online requires spend. But success is about finding profitability at a reasonable amount of spend before scaling to huge budgets.
There's a whole module within the course on budgeting, which includes a free return-on-ad-spend calculator so you can understand your profitability and set spend/sales targets.
A lot of what is in the course are fundamentals that will likely never change a huge amount. However, we will be keeping an eye and updating wherever we need to.
We'll also be communicating and taking steer from the Digital Marketing Pro community, which is an amazing knowledge supplement to the course.
Creativity is better than technical know-how!
Our HOW-TO video guides take you through the ad platform processes, and our classes on creative, messaging and copywriting will guide you on best practices.
Everyone! The principles within will apply to any business in any location.
The many hours we've sunk into producing this course, plus the insights and experience we've included within, to us are priceless. But we've reasonably priced this course to make it accessible for all. We've included many extras and bonuses so that you can see the value in many different forms.
But ultimately, when you do succeed and grow because of this course, you'll certainly be telling us that it was worth the price.
As an on-demand course, you'll be able to go through as fast or slow as you like!
There is a sweet spot though - hammering through the lessons all in a couple of days will likely be information overload, and you'll forget some bits. Equally, weeks between each class will take you too long and you'll forget information in-between classes!
Find your right learning pace, and remember you can always re-watch videos as needed.
Yes, you can! As soon as payment is complete, you'll be emailed your login credentials and you'll be able to access the course immediately.
Yes, you can choose to split the course fee over 3 months.
Digital Marketing Pro is brought to you by Playfair Marketing Ltd.
