I help startups develop systems, infrastructure and processes to drive repeatable, scaleable and predictable growth. Sometimes I'll join as an interim CMO to get things moving. For other companies, I might get involved as an advisor or a consultant: coaching, mentoring, training, and getting suitable systems in place. 🚀
I enjoy getting involved during change, fast growth, or fundraising/M&A.
With extensive experience, particularly in the apps, SaaS, e-commerce & crypto/Web3 industries, I do growth the right way. As a founder, employee, and consultant, I have a unique perspective on what businesses need to grow.
I help businesses improve their north star KPI using a lean, data-driven approach. I cut through the BS of 'growth hacking' to help the startup community grow based on methods that have been validated and results that speak for themselves.
I have a successful track record and can demonstrate results and the methodology.
In the past five years, I have:
> Spent £10m+ on PPC / Paid Acquisition with Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Taboola
> Generated over £15m in revenue for various e-commerce stores
> Created millions of downloads for multiple apps
>Mentored startups around the world> Lectured on Growth Marketing at Cambridge University
> Had ads seen by more than half of all internet users
From Inventor to Marketer
Born in 1994 in Johannesburg, South Africa, Daniel Johnson is a growth marketing expert helping startups grow and corporates to move like startups. An aspiring "inventor" at a young age, he concocted eclectic ideas designed to solve problems in his daily life. It led him to create (and fail at) several startups.
At 18, with no significant academic qualifications, he started working at his first startup as the Assistant to the Newsletter Assistant. Eventually, he progressed to Head of Marketing at several Series A & B businesses.
He became a freelancer looking to expand his experience, working on various projects in different industries, including crypto, FMCG, SaaS and Ecommerce.
