John Daniels
John combines visionary thinking with practical implementation to help create and implement marketing strategies that are as innovative as they are effective. He combines knowledge of Google AdWords, Facebook Advertising, Google Analytics and CRM with business thinking like Lean Startup and Agile to weave tech and business together in a way that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
John calls himself a ‘technology evangelist’ because he really believes that technology can be a powerful force emancipating the human spirit from the drudgery of the rat race.
John has run his own businesses in IT since 2000 and has been the IT support guy, created websites, developed Internet marketing strategies and even made conference exhibition stands with fingerprint recognition.
Over the years of working in these diverse industries, he has slowly uncovered his true love, which is teaching. He truly believes that running your own business is the best way for you to reclaim control of your life, and the best way that he can help you to do that is to teach you how you can use the awesome power of the Internet to put your message “out there” in predictable, measurable ways, and then build systems to keep the business rolling in.
Facilitating the training with Mavaric, implementing Majestic and Making Magic on Google, represent a quantum leap in John’s vision of “entrepreneurs empowered though technology”
