Hi, I'm Marius du Preez
My journey began over a decade ago in the IT industry, where I specialized in cloud migrations and technical solutions for businesses. But I quickly realized that having great technology wasn't enough if businesses couldn't effectively market themselves online.
This realization led me to dive deep into digital marketing. I managed YouTube and Facebook ad campaigns with budgets up to $10,000 per day, working with businesses across industries from mortgage brokers to solar companies. I learned what makes people click, engage, and ultimately convert.
The real turning point came when I co-founded ApeSpace.io, a crypto analytics platform. Through strategic SEO and content marketing, we grew it to over 3,000 daily organic visitors. This experience showed me the incredible power of combining technical expertise with marketing strategy.
Today, I leverage AI to help businesses achieve extraordinary growth. Whether it's implementing cutting-edge marketing strategies, building scalable technical infrastructure, or harnessing AI for competitive advantage - I bring a unique blend of skills that drives real results.
