Client: Kriszti – A dedicated children’s youth coach specialising in personal development and skill-building for young individuals.

Conclusion: My expertise as a digital strategy consultant was pivotal in transforming John Doe’s youth coaching business. By conducting a thorough review, identifying new opportunities, and implementing a multifaceted digital strategy, we established a strong online presence and expanded the client base. John’s business is now well-positioned for sustained growth and a greater impact on the lives of young individuals.
