Digital marketing helps your brand look better on social media. Technology has shifted traditional marketing to digital marketing, and for any business to thrive in the modern world, it must adopt the best digital marketing strategies. Erik Villa is a leading digital marketing specialist who will help your business realize its full potential.
Erik developed a passion for the internet and social media at a very young age. At 14, he began video editing and creating YouTube and Instagram content as a hobby. The spark to do more of these contents and videos fueled his passion. Armed with determination, Erik did not let his high school weekends go to waste. He used them to develop his passion for digital marketing while earning some spending money. At 16, he worked for various local agencies in a non-paid capacity after school to gain experience in traditional and digital marketing services alongside a traditional job in an amusement park.
A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. This was the beginning of Erik’s success. He used the money he earned from his day jobs to invest in his education, including video editing courses, online marketing courses, and networking events. After graduating from high school, he continued to work for various agencies, but this time as a paid freelancer. Erik sought mentorship and guidance from successful digital marketing agency owners, including Tai Lopez, Craig Ballantyne, and Jason Capital.
At 18, Erik used his experience and started a digital marketing agency partnered with traditional marketing agencies that did not offer digital services. He focused on helping local restaurants and bars establish their online presence, build their digital brand, and ultimately drive sales, increasing their financial returns.
At 21, Erik rebranded his digital marketing agency as Expert Brand Builders, focusing on helping events, venues, and high-end clubs with their marketing efforts. He wanted to specialize in providing support to individuals who perform at these events, such as musicians, singers, comedians, and public speakers, to improve their online presence and drive ticket sales.
Erik wanted to advance his digital marketing skills, so he sought mentorship from Ryan Magin, CEO of Vidal Editz. Additionally, he received guidance from Dylan Vanas, owner of Monopolize, who has extensive experience in the marketing industry and helped him scale Expert Brand Builders. Currently, the company is a renowned marketing agency specializing in putting you in front of the right audience in the right way and at the right time. They specialize in short form video creation, public relations, lead generation, social media management, website development, and any creative digital marketing skill that will help you scale your brand to where you need it to be. They have a track record of helping pages grow from under 1,000 followers to over 1 million.
But Erik also faced a significant hurdle in his business during the COVID-19 pandemic. His clients such as restaurants and bars in the hospitality industry were hit hard. However, he managed to pull out strongly and assisted them in offering takeout services through online platforms like Doordash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub.
Erik has continued making moves in the industry. He utilizes his digital marketing expertise to specialize in helping events and performers establish their brands, grow their online presence, and maximize ticket sales. He aspires to help more clients reach their full potential and achieve their business objectives. Erik also wants to see Expert Brand Builders grow into a globally-recognized agency and the top digital marketing agency.
