Founder@ Interview
With Ross Jenkins
“Make the leap and just try it, if it fails, try again.” – Ross Jenkins
Today we feature Ross Jenkins, the founder at DigitalME. We hear their story in their own words, their successes, their challenges and their insights.
Let’s start by getting to know you. Can you please tell us a little bit about you and what you do?
I’m Ross, from England (A small town called Kenilworth!) I now live between Valencia Spain and Dubai UAE, and run a marketing agency called DigitalME. We focus solely on performance marketing, mainly through channels like emails.
A great introduction and start to this interview. Can you please tell us, how did you start, from what age, and what made you decide to change direction and start?
I started playing with businesses at the age of 13/14, building websites, understanding basic levels of marketing, I had an investment from friends and family into a business at the age of 18, which had a potential to have an exit. By 20, I realized I needed a lot more experience in the game and started working for agencies, learning their pros, their cons and ways I could eventually come into this trade. By the age of 25 I took the leap and became an agency owner.
Thank you for that insight. So can you tell us…What does your business do and where is your company based?
We work with clients to help them set up, build and work on their email marketing. We’re based online and have staff from all over the world.
What’s the story behind your success? What led to your aha moment? how did you get to where you are now?
A whole lot of learning from my past work, learning how agencies are poor at communicating gave me a huge opening on how I could improve that, as well as transparency and a tonne of sweat and tears.
Thank you for sharing that. What’s been your life’s biggest lesson so far?
Take payments up front. As an agency that’s been running for 6 years we’ve had tonnes of ups and downs, some I’ve thought damn, can we survive this? and some I’ve thought it’s time to go on holiday for a couple of weeks and think about this. Some are clients messing about, some are staff mess ups, some are my own faults.
Not everyone is here to watch you succeed.
If you were to go back in time, what piece of advice would you give to your younger self?
Learn, learn and learn.
What do you know now that you wished you had known before?
Not everyone is here to watch you succeed. 
What has been your greatest or proudest achievement or moment?
Probably just being able to run a business, that’s a pretty proud moment in itself.
What future life goals do you want to achieve and why?
I’d like to keep travelling, keep building, I’d like to try keep our team slim, and help my team grow their lives too with us.
