Not every success story starts with a win.

In today's episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Nathan Brown talks openly about the early missteps that shaped his career. From projects that went wrong, to being made redundant, to rebuilding teams before he really knew what he was doing, this is a proper, honest conversation about learning the hard way, and why some of the moments that feel like failures at the time turn out to be the foundations for everything that follows. It's safe to say that Nathan is now smashing it.

If you’re running a business, growing a team or feeling like you are figuring things out as you go, this episode is for you. Start the new year off on the right foot by giving this one a listen. 

About Nathan:

Nathan Brown is the founder of Robus Marketing, a UK based digital marketing agency that works heavily with franchise networks. He has no formal A levels or degree and started out in live music and events before moving into the care sector, where he progressed into senior roles and then took responsibility for marketing and sales. He later completed a Level 6 Diploma in Professional Marketing with the CIM.

After being made redundant in 2014, Nathan became Marketing Manager for a home care franchise, which shaped his franchise marketing experience. He launched Robus Marketing in 2017, grew it primarily through business networking and retained relationships, and now runs a fully remote team across the UK and the Philippines delivering Google Ads, social media, website projects, and marketing strategy, while he focuses on sales, client relationships, and scaling systems.
