A very quick bio
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 from his daily life. It led him to create (and fail at) several startups, eventually selling one to a Texas-based PE firm.
After exiting his first company 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.
Looking to expand his experience, he became a freelancer, working on various projects in different industries, including crypto, FMCG, SaaS and Ecommerce.

We asked Daniel to develop a clear uncomplicated website for our cleaning business. We said the content and style should reflect the business model and he responded to the challenge in a very professional manner, on budget and in a very short time. Perfect!"
"I’m cofounder and CEO here at LessonsUp, and wanted to let you know how valuable your talk on SEO was for me and my team. There are so many areas to focus on within SEO as a new startup that it’s hard to focus on anything, but your advice to consider goals for what we need to do right now really helped us narrow in on what we need to do. Big big thank you!"
Daniel and Ludo have been a great asset to helping us scale our digital marketing efforts. Both of them have a diverse range of skills - from copywriting through to landing page creation. They are also very knowledgable with growth strategies and we've seen great results from their advice."
