I'm Jon Hayes, digital marketing strategist and founder of Build Digital.
I believe in cutting through the noise to deliver what matters - results.
Let me share what makes our approach different, or reach out if you'd like to discuss your goals directly.
Here's my story: In 2016, I packed my bags and left my hometown of Bristol, England, for Budapest, Hungary - no savings, no job, just a whole lot of optimism. Talk about diving in the deep end!
As luck would have it, I landed at Authority Hacker, though I had no clue at the time they were kind of a big deal in the digital marketing industry.
Starting as a Link Building Outreach Assistant, I caught the digital marketing bug and never looked back. Working alongside some of the industry's best minds, I climbed the ranks from complete newcomer to Product Manager, helping shape one of digital marketing's most respected brands.
It turns out that stumbling into digital marketing was the best accident of my life.
As Authority Hacker grew, so did my passion for the industry - particularly digital products. They handed me the keys to the Product Manager role, and after proving myself with a few successful launches, they gave me something even better: freedom to experiment.
Armed with a healthy budget and a straightforward mandate (make a profit!), I dove deep into everything from sales psychology to launch strategies. I tested, tweaked, and optimized until I cracked the code, eventually running some of the company's highest-grossing product launches to date.
After 8 incredible years at Authority Hacker, it was time for a new challenge. Here's the thing - I'm an extrovert who lives for connecting with people and solving unique business challenges. (I was famous for sneaking in extra 1-on-1 consulting sessions with members, even though it wasn't part of our packages!)
With the full support and continued mentorship of Authority Hacker's founders, Mark and Gael, I decided to channel my passion for helping others into building something new.
Now, I'm here to share everything I've learned about digital marketing success with ambitious entrepreneurs like you.
