Shay Rowbottom started out as a musician trying to make it in the entertainment industry. She dropped out of college at 20 to focus on making art and performing, while holding down a waitressing job.

At the time, she was very naive to business and social media. Looking for an alternative pathway to success, Shay made the best decision that she had at the time, even though it sounds counterproductive... She gave up on her dreams.

Instead of music, Shay began working on video content as a freelancer for a very profitable blog and Facebook page, making money from Google ads. Here, she gained valuable experience and started to hone her newfound craft. She grew her company, gaining clients, learning the science of social media and licensing videos for an expanding group of entrepreneurs.

Today, Shay has founded and sold a start-up, before pivoting completely to LinkedIn and inspiring audiences and other entrepreneurs to optimise every bit of content for the biggest effect.

Shay Rowbottom Marketing is about more than just viral videos on LinkedIn.

Her team offer DIY programmes and online bootcamps to improve your LinkedIn activity, with coaching sessions that will help you transform your business and close more deals. Alternatively, SRM will take more of an agency role and run an entrepreneur's LinkedIn profile for them, which is ideal for busy professionals.
