Today, we sit down with Max Hertan, founder of Megaphone Marketing and Telstra Business Award Finalist. Since starting the company in 2012, Max has helped businesses optimize their advertising conversion rates and buffed up their social media presences. He also runs a YouTube channel with over 100,000 subscribers where he documents learning a new skill every 30 days, featuring challenges from learning the violin to juggling. So press play and listen to Max explain the whole journey. Starting as a mischievous elementary schooler who prank called a fire department, Max became the creator of a Uni Party Listing service that has attracted over 50,000 people from across Australia, and ultimately scaled his marketing skills into a global agency that has generated over a billion dollars in revenue for its clients.
