How to market your business: top tips from social media guru Ross Testa

We interviewed the founder of award winning marketing brand, 3 Heads Agency, about how your small business can propel itself into the limelight.

For Ross Testa, grafting has always been part of his nature. From the age of 14, the young entrepreneur spent his weekends working in the Camden meat market, hauling pork from four o’clock in the morning until three in the afternoon.

Since then, Testa’s swapped meat packing for running his own social media marketing and video production company 3 Heads Agency, yet his drive has never dwindled.

While at university, Testa began managing small business social accounts, all while working at Microsoft.

“I’d get to Microsoft super early, the same time as the CEO in most cases. Then I would spend some time in the morning working on my degree, schedule socials for my clients, and then get started on my day job at Microsoft.”

Since his university days, Testa’s business has grown massively. From making £174,000 in the first year, to well on the way to £2 million by the end of this year – four years since his first client.

Managing campaigns for huge household names that include Just Eat, Silverstone, Chelsea FC, and Lego, Testa reflects on the philosophy behind his agency’s success.

“We deliver for every single client, by sweating the small things. To be a successful agency you need to focus on every tiny detail, everything you do for your client has to be on point.
