My name is Rob Southgate and I help established podcasters master social media and digital marketing so that they can take their podcast to the next level.
We spend so much time and effort putting out the type of podcast we would want to listen to. It’s time to stop feeling like no one is listening.
It’s not hard to make a podcast and put it out there for the world. Where the challenge comes in is getting engagement, building an audience, creating fans, and making it into a successful business. I help podcasters do just this through digital marketing and social media. Let me help you and your team achieve your podcast dreams.
"Rob Southgate helped me find my voice -- literally and figuratively -- when I became interested in the podcasting space. Through his mentorship I have developed exceptional marketing, public speaking and podcast content skills which I have been able to bring to multiple positions throughout my career. I am forever thankful that I was able to learn from and work with Rob Southgate on many incredible projects over the years." - Blaire Knight-Graves The Professional Geek
