SHAY ROWBOTTOM

 
 
 

VIDEO LINKEDIN COACH

  • Today, so many businesses struggle to create effective videos for social media that actually move the needle and produce traffic, leads, and more revenue. That's where Shay Rowbottom comes in. Shay teaches entrepreneurs how to create engaging video content online to grow their following, authority, and attract inbound leads to grow their business. All without breaking the bank, or sucking up too much time.

    At age 23, she started a viral video licensing agency, and quickly transformed from freelancing video editor, to agency owner distributing thousands of videos per month across Facebook. At her peak, she was working with some of the largest pages on the platform, averaging over 1 billion views a month for her clients. She eventually took this viral video expertise to LinkedIn, to find not only a higher quality audience there, but an insanely low competition rate when it came to video. Her introduction to LinkedIn came at a time in her life when she was struggling with a deep depression. Using the marketing tactics she already knew, she decided to get vulnerable and began pushing out her personal story of abuse, adversity, and hardship for what she’d been through. Her honesty, combined with her know-how when it came to marketing, has since landed her the personal record for most ever original video views from one single creator on LinkedIn. She went on to attract so much attention and interest from business owners who could relate to her story - that she decided to sell her Facebook company and pivot to LinkedIn entirely.

    Now Shay teaches businesses how to have the same success she’s had, attracting leads through organic video content on LinkedIn, easily and authentically, to ultimately gain more business and increase their revenue.
