Melandra Smith
Rob taught me the Digital Marketing Essentials module in my recent Diploma in Digital Marketing with the Cambridge Marketing College. What stood out for me was the practical advice that he gave me - hands-on stuff that I could then apply to my own small business. Website tools. Keyword research tips. Rob is quite analytical - he clearly cares about what he does and enjoys sharing knowledge - I have asked him quite a few questions about best practice for my embryo website since and he's always been happy to mentor me. It's unusual for people to give their time and expertise - I think he's secretly been reading Adam Grant's Give and Take. And I now have my diploma. Extremely pleased. Thanks a million.

I worked with Rob at Towergate Professional Risks, where he was working as the Sales and Marketing Manager. I worked with Rob on a number of occasions, and he had a very precise, methodological approach to his work. His ability to come up with good marketing ideas at a trice was extraordinary. I highly recommend Rob, and would relish the chance to deal with him again in the future.
