1054: The Digital Nomad Story Behind Take Some Risk

At Take Some Risk, they believe in outcomes more than deliverables. They help eCommerce, SaaS and technology brands create, manage and scale profitable PPC campaigns across North America, Europe, and Australia.

The company advises that working with them is like having a Director of Marketing on your team. You get the experience of a senior marketing professional with the skills and knowledge of someone who can get in the trenches with you and win against bigger competitors (who have more money). But I wanted to learn more about the inspiring story behind the company and the role of technology.

Duane Brown has been called a digital nomad by friends after living in 6 cities across three continents and visiting 40 countries around the world. After leaving Toronto, Canada in 2011 to gain an international view of the world, he has worked for Telstra in Australia and brands including ASOS, Mopp (bought Sept. 2014), Jack Wills and Grant Thornton while in London, UK.

After London, Duane went traveling in Asia for 10 weeks and then came back to Canada and got a job with Unbounce. That job allowed him to work on more PPC landing pages than any marketer in the world. He now lives in Montreal, Canada helping ecom & SaaS brands grow through data, CRO and marketing.

 

Duane runs a digital marketing agency called Take Some Risk. He has helped brands including ASOS, Jack Wills, and Mopp grow through PPC (pay per click) marketing and CRO. I invited him to join me on Tech Talks Daily to share his fascinating story.

We talk about how to grow any business through PPC campaigns and the digital marketing landscape. But, beyond the tech talk, we discuss Duane’s traveling experience, and he visited 40-countries and working as a digital nomad.
