All of this was achieved without ever raising a dime of venture capital. 100% of our business is funded by our customers, which lets us focus on customer success and think long term while building the industry’s highest-quality training and consulting products.
We believe in being the best. In a world where companies compete on price, we compete on value, and people pay for value from the best.
My name is Tobi Asehinde and I started the journey with a website called vibewebsolutions.com during my master’s final year at the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom in my bedroom with just a laptop, a sofa, bed and internet connection.
Before I started, I teamed up with my flatmate to start an online hotel booking business and I lost my savings to a digital marketing firm that drove little or no results for the online business.
I became broke and frustrated that I took matters into my own hands and decided to learn digital marketing. I became obsessed and so passionate about digital marketing as I began to drive brand awareness, sales, and customer growth results for businesses that paid me very well.
It was then that I realised digital marketing could help all types of businesses grow quickly if only the right digital marketing strategy is implemented with the right skills and tools. The best part is that people started paying me to help their business run effective digital marketing campaigns.
For that reason, a business was born to help and empower people acquire the right digital marketing skills to start, grow and scale a wildly profitable business and career. Through a relentless focus on making people succeed online, I now have a brilliant team of experts globally with experience working with clients both within Nigeria and internationally.
As part of our growth strategy, we changed our name and registered the company in Nigeria as DigitalMarketingSkill Institute Services Limited.
To further our growth, we registered our company with a registered office in the United States of America as Digital Marketing Skill LLC. This allowed us to reach more people outside Nigeria.
Our single ultimate goal is to help and empower 1 million people by 2030 to start, grow and scale wildly profitable businesses and careers using digital marketing across the globe.
We are achieving this by using digital technologies to accelerate the development of digital marketing talent and match them with companies globally, either as employees or entrepreneurs (freelancers or agencies), using artificial intelligence (AI).
To tackle unemployment, we partnered with the Challenge Fund for Youth Employment (CFYE), funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to launch the “Digital Marketing Women Employability and Entrepreneurship Programme (DM-WEEP)”, designed to train, match and create digital marketing jobs for 4,500 women.
We also launched two platforms for our learners: Accredital connects companies to our trained digital marketing talent for employment, while Wizlancer lets companies outsource digital marketing campaigns to them.
Due to our impact in the digital technology sector in Africa, our founder was endorsed as a UK Global Exceptional Talent in 2021, with the aim of expanding the business to the UK and Europe. In January 2022, Digital Marketing Skill Institute in the United Kingdom was fully registered. That’s why our learners receive both United States and United Kingdom accredited certification that’s recognised globally.
