From $100,000 in debt to $100,000 profit months

It's not as hard as you think to build a multi-million dollar marketing business, as long as you have the right advice

Marketing Boss Academy (formally know as The Digital Marketing Certificate) created by Maddy Birdcage, Founder of Birdcage Marketing and Birdcage Marketing School, knows first hand the cost of bad advice.

After listening to the wrong people, she almost lost her million-dollar-a-year marketing agency in only a few short months.

After rising from the ashes, $100,000 in debt and riddled with anxiety and self-doubt, Maddy got to work to rebuild her marketing business her way.

In less than a year, Maddy was celebrating $100,000 profit months and feeling mentally, financially and physically better than ever.

Through Marketing Boss Academy, Maddy teaches new and experienced marketers how to build a business that you can run from anywhere and even fits around family.

Highly educated and highly experienced, Maddy doesn't hold back and shares the good, the bad and the ugly of growing her multi-million-dollar marketing agency, so you can do the same

The Glow Up Was Real

Transform your business and your life, just like Maddy did...

Maddy launched her agency in 2015, the same week she found out she was pregnant with her first child...

The following years saw her painfully juggling motherhood, misaligned clients, growing too quickly, anxiety, and eventually burnout.

Then, just when billings were at an all-time-high and the agency was set to have a $3 million year, she tore it all to the ground.

Whilst Maddy had all the outward signs of success (a huge office and studio space, a team of 14, millions of dollars worth of clients), she was miserable.

Determined to find a better way, Maddy reimagined how freelancers and agencies should operate to produce better client results and generate more profit (all while working less hours).

Maddy's approach to business is anything but traditional, but in an industry like digital marketing; that's exactly what you need to stay ahead-of-the-curve.

By staying true to her vision, her passions and her way of doing things, Maddy has transformed her business and her life; and shares the exact steps in Agency Marketer Mastery.

What Past Students Thought

“Being able to put a container around things and having a formula, particularly around funnels, has been really useful. DMC has given me a lot of confidence that I'm doing the right thing and this is how I need to shape it to be better and more profitable. ”

Sarah Marshall

“It's been really helpful to go into the why behind things. Every second person online claims they're a social media expert but to have that deeper knowledge makes a difference. Even how you show how you've built your successful business, what's worked and what hasn't has been amazing. ”

Sam Brown

“Even though I have over 20 years experience in marketing and comms DMC was what I needed to set boundaries with clients and to back myself. With DMC I restructured my packages for more profit, fired the red flag clients that made me not enjoy my job and now I'm expanding how I'm working with clients.”

Kylie Taka

“As a new freelancer leaving corporate I had years of experience working in marketing but no real idea on how to package it up and make it into a profitable business. I'd heard of freelancers working for $20 an hour by the time they factored everything in and I wanted to make sure I set the right reputation from the start. What Maddy teaches is based on her own experience running her own agency and she shares secrets no one else is talking about openly.”
