Mark Hughes is a well regarded authority within his business sector helping start-up and established businesses gain recognised brand awareness using Social Media Marketing Strategies. He has impacted his knowledge of Social Media concepts across a large variety of businesses from a new domestic electrical business to working with a national leader in events management.
He now spends a lot of his time advising others on how to establish themselves as recognised Social Media Consultants by imparting his knowledge and concepts.
Coming from humble beginnings and with a passion for learning about business, Mark has spent many years acquiring knowledge about online marketing and how it fits within the offline marketplace. In his earlier years after obtaining a degree in Sales and Marketing Management, he worked in sales and marketing and eventually worked up himself up to mamagement level before breaking away and starting his own successful contract cleaning and building refurbishment business.
Being in business for himself lead to his discovery and eventual passion and love for online marketing. He integrated several online marketing concepts into his business and quickly established a large ROI via converting these online enquiries into lifetime customers.
After attending a local Chamber of Commerce meeting with a friend he quickly realised that business owners need help and education regarding the integrating of online marketing with their offline businesses. The level of advice at the commerce meeting was very poor which concerned him and forced a decision to break away from his business and set up as a consultant and share his knowledge and strategies with local businesses.
When Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Linkedin arrived, Mark fell in love, almost kind of like a re-birth and knew that Social Media would be huge and the possibilities that it would bring his clients would be profound. With his natural tendency for continuous learning, he devoured any and all information about Social Media and how it could better serve his clients.
He is currently working on documenting and packaging what he has learned in order to release this as a resource to businesses and students who are passionate about using Social Media and what incredible power it has when used effectively.
The rest of his time is spent with his wife and 2 children and when time affords loves to get in the odd round of golf and enjoy holidays in sunny locations.
There is still no better feeling than when a happy customer expresses the value that you have added to their lives and their business.

Mark loves the personal levels of connecting so rather than email. Hit him up on Skype or phone for a chat or simply to book in a 60 minute consultation so he can get to know you and your business better.
