I have worked in IT for over 10 years in roles spanning Project Management, Business Analysis and software development.
I got interested in digital marketing some years back; and dove head first into blogging/SEO and PPC ads on my own; and even got one of my private websites to rank first page of google for many relevant keywords.
Some of my mentors actually kicked my butt into starting Actualize Digital albeit as a side hustle, and little by little, people began to notice the projects I delivered and by Gods grace it took off.
