If it wasn't for Social Media College I wouldn't be sitting where I am today: owning my own successful business and making my work life fit in so seamlessly with my family and personal life. So thanks SMC, I couldn't have done it without you.

I wouldn’t have been able to achieve the results I have without knowing what to do. Social Media College gave me all the foundations for that. I couldn't have set up my agency without SMC. I would still be in my job. I probably would have had a stroke by now from high blood pressure! I have to pinch myself every day now. I'm really stoked.

I’m building a business which has more and more demand every day and I’m really lucky that I can work it completely around my family. SMC gave me the structure and confidence to present to clients.
