Hi, I'm Sam Frost, and I'm the owner/operator of Ace Digital Marketing Ltd.

My mission is simple: To become the first man on Mars.

Oh wait, this isn't my NASA job application.

My actual mission is even simpler: To help your business become more profitable through the power of digital marketing.

As a marketing consultant, I help generate more traffic, leads, and sales for your business, with significantly greater efficiency from your marketing spend.

I have worked with many clients in just about every continent in the world (Antarctica still remains elusive, unfortunately) and love nothing more than helping my clients win with digital marketing.

I first started out online over 10 years ago, when I was at high school. I played guitar in one of those cringey, one-good-lunchtime-gig-away-from-a-Grammy teenage bands, and wanted to upgrade from my cheap guitar to a Fender Strat (apologies to any Gibson fans who might be reading).

I wasn't earning much working Saturday mornings stacking up fruit and veg at my local supermarket, so decided ​to fire up the dial up (yes, dial up) on the old iMac I had borrowed off my dad, and search around to see if it was possible to make money on this magical thing called the Internet.

The rest, as they say, is history. After tumbling down that rabbit hole, I was hooked; ever since I have been focused on the exciting, unpredictable and rewarding space that is digital marketing. From building up my own websites and monetising them as an affiliate marketer, to running large-scale eCommerce campaigns for leading retailers, to working with fantastic, hard-working clients to help spread their message, I have been fortunate enough to experience a truly diverse array of industries and businesses.

With the formation of Ace Digital Marketing Ltd, my focus is now on building lasting relationships with great clients, providing effective guidance and implementation of digital marketing strategies that generate positive commercial outcomes.

Career & Business Highlights

During my time sailing the perilous digital seas, I've done a lot of cool stuff with some fantastic businesses that I'm really proud of. But rather than re-write Tolstoy's "War and Peace", I thought I'd share a few highlights with you:

If you'd like to see an old-fashioned CV, please dispatch your carrier pigeon to my office and I will scribe one for you on a fresh piece of parchment. Coming late 2018 I hope to have a telegram machine in place to make this process easier.

But in all seriousness, if you do want to see full CV, please email me on sam@acedigitalmarketing.net and I'll get one to you ASAP.
