About The Guest
Simon Dalley is a seasoned digital marketing expert, entrepreneur, and passionate advocate for social and political change. With over 25 years of experience in the digital marketing industry, Simon is the founder of GrowTraffic, a digital marketing agency that he established over 15 years ago. As a company Director, Simon oversees GrowTraffic's strategic direction, fostering growth and innovation whilst maintaining a strong focus on collaboration and team culture.
In addition to his professional endeavours in digital marketing, Simon is deeply involved in community initiatives, particularly in his hometown of Bacup, where he serves as the chair of the Bacup 2040 Board. Simon's work on the 2040 Board is centred on transforming Bacup into a vibrant and sustainable town by 2040, focused on preserving its heritage while building a forward-looking economy. He has actively contributed to the redevelopment of key areas in the town, such as the market area and Christ Church, which he purchased in 2024 and is currently converting into a digital business hub. This project aims to serve as the digital heart of Rossendale, fostering collaboration and growth within the digital sector.
Simon is a strong believer in the potential of AI and blockchain technology, especially in the context of decision-making and democratic processes. He is actively exploring how these technologies can reshape business and political systems, promoting more direct forms of democracy and inclusive decision-making. His vision for the future involves a more secure, adaptive, and people-centric approach to governance.
Simon is also an active member of several organisations. He uses his position within these groups to push for societal improvements and greater collaboration amongst nations. He often speaks of his regret at the removal of Britain from the EU, but he also believes that strengthening ties within the Anglosphere nations can secure a better future for the UK, enhancing international cooperation without the need for political and economic unions.
Outside of his professional and political life, Simon is committed to personal growth and relationships. He co-founded and leads an emotional support and listening service called The Let's Talk Project CIC. He is deeply invested in his family and is committed to a balance of work and family life. His values, shaped by his upbringing in a working-class family, reflect his dedication to social justice and community support. Simon is also an advocate for workers' rights and the importance of fair wages, especially in a time when the UK economy has left many behind, but also in terms of working towards global wage parity.
Simon Dalley is a man of action, balancing his expertise in digital marketing with a commitment to societal progress and community development. His multifaceted career and advocacy work continue to shape his vision for a better, more connected future for both his local community and the broader global stage.Timestamp00:00 Introduction to Achieving Your First Million
