My name is Kathryn Aragon, founder and CEO of KA Media, Jcurve Agency, and AccessXL. I'm an author and entrepreneur focused on Marketing and Accessibility. I met Russ when he was running the Crazy Egg blog. I had recently started my business and didn't have the network to acquire quality clients. Russ ran across my content and saw what I could do. He hired me to write for Crazy Egg, and in a few months, I replaced him as Managing Editor. Russ recommended me to write the Advanced Guide to Content Marketing for Neil Patel. Later, he hired me to write the Ultimate Guide to Digital Marketing for Digital Marketer. He has been instrumental to my career and success. Those early introductions helped me build my brand and my business. Thanks to him, I now work with amazing clients and have a powerful network. And if I ever have a question, he's there to help.

Hi. I'm Angel. I am a full-time Clerical worker in the public sector, and also a Freelance Copywriter. Before meeting Russ, I didn't no a lick about Content Marketing or SEO. And being a budding copywriter, I thought it vital to attain the knowledge and skills for these specialties to widen my scope. Especially because they are heavily sought after. Russ has a knack for breaking down seemingly complex topics into fun, phenomenal and captivating modules. His passion coats every word. It's contagious 😅. You can tell that Russ has the experience on his side and he loves what he does best. Thanks to Russ, I've added these skills to my portfolio, gained perspective, intrigue, and I'm excited to start working on new projects. I can now productize my services as a Freelance Copywriter and serve a new market. And I'm so excited to get started! ☺️ Thanks, Russ!!

Linda Rooney, a Digital Copywriter and Content Writer. Prior to entering the world of copywriting, I was trained to write in the strict and dry academic-research style. I’m improving my skills in writing SEO-friendly and persuasive copy, and learning about digital marketing strategy. It has been overwhelming at times. Thankfully, I have had opportunities to take trainings with Russ. Russ’ teaching style is welcoming, yet packed with information. He infuses relatable, real-life situations to make the concepts he’s teaching more approachable. There have been many “ah ha” moments in his classes. Russ taught me the how behind writing more purposeful and targeted copy, but also to see the bigger picture of what my role can be in the world of digital marketing. His guidance has helped me to become a more skillful writer and also a better strategist.

My name is Sasha Marx, and I am a content & copywriter and a growing digital marketer in the health and wellness space! Having received my education in English and creative writing and freshly out of school, I started my job as a Content Coordinator with some writing skills and not a whole lot else in my toolkit. Enter Russ. I had the opportunity to train one on one with Russ for several months at my company (PALM Health) on all things copywriting and digital marketing, and thanks to him, I have not only learned the nuts and bolts & how to apply them, but also have grown in my ability to THINK like a marketer-- the most valuable skill of all. Russ is a fantastic teller of stories that teach you the vital lessons of digital marketing in an entertaining and real-life way, and his creativity, expertise, and true passion for his work are infectious. It's been truly formative and a pleasure to be able to learn from Russ!

I switched careers about 7 years ago, and Russ really helped me grow as a content strategist and digital marketer. I was new to the B2B SaaS industry and the lessons he taught me not only helped me break into this industry, but they're strategies and philosophies I continue to draw on and use 7+ years later. His trainings are in-depth and full of great examples that keep things entertaining while reinforcing the concept so you truly understand it. He shares marketing tactics you can start applying to your job that day.

Coming from corporate America, before this course, I wasn't sure how to approach potential clients. The Strategic Marketing Mastery course provided tools and confidence that I needed to present myself as an expert and the right person for their business. Because of this course, I am in negotiations with my first client and see a bright future. You are probably wondering if the course was worth the time and expense. For me, the answer is YES! You will walk away with a new perspective and approach to working in your business and with your clients.

Having participated in several of Russ's certification courses and workshops prior to enrolling in this class, my expectations were already high. Yet, the Strategic Marketing Masterclass not only met but far surpassed those expectations. The quality of this course is unparalleled, making it a worthwhile investment of both time and money. Russ truly embodies the essence of a mentor, consistently going above and beyond to ensure that each of us fully comprehends the material. His commitment to providing personal attention and clear explanations without holding anything back is commendable. If the opportunity to learn from Russ presents itself, seize it without hesitation. The value you'll receive in terms of knowledge, skill development, and return on your investment of time, effort, and money is immense.

Before I took this course I focused on projects like email campaigns, newsletters, and website blogs. ……now I’ve learned high-level marketing strategies that can have a major impact on the growth of a client’s business. Well worth my time and money. I’ve taken a few courses with Russ. His marketing knowledge and experience come through in each class he teaches. Adding his sense of humor during these sessions helps to keep things fun and engaging. If you’re looking to up your game and connect with clients at a higher level, this is the course! Even before completing this course, I started implementing these strategies with a few contacts in my network. Excited to have these marketing strategies as part of my company’s plan moving forward. Thanks, Russ!

I literally majored in Advertising. But only after taking Russ's course do I have a high-level strategic understanding of marketing. Before, I was focused on the tactics of writing copy and content. Now I know how to get the results my clients are looking for through marketing. Thank you for packaging this up into a digestible course - and making it so fun! Worth every penny.

Before embarking on Russ’s course, my business was growing, but not flourishing. I had spent a year developing copy- and content-writing skills. The dreaded shiny-object-syndrome had kept me very busy, but not really moving my business forward in any measurable way. That all changed when I began learning how to be a strategic marketing specialist. It was like finding finally myself. Russ is one of the best teachers I’ve ever known. His down-to-earth teaching style makes complex concepts easy to understand. Even more importantly, Russ makes me believe in myself and my ability to help my clients meet their goals. This course does require a significant commitment of time and energy, but the payoff is real and measurable. My business grew substantially as I began implementing the concepts and techniques Russ taught me. I now have as many clients as I can handle. And, I have a waiting list. Yep! A waiting list! Now I am focused on getting better clients as I finish my current projects. I intend to look to Russ for guidance in that arena, as well. I can recommend any of Russ’s courses without any reservations. They are worth investment of both your time and money.
