  • In Business For Yourself But Not By Yourself, with Itamar Shafir
    Aug 4 2023
    This week on Finding Certainty, host Patrick Laing engages in an enlightening conversation with Itamar Shafir, the Founder and CEO of Umbrella US. Joining the show from his home in Tel Aviv, Israel, Itamar discusses the immense power of partnerships in the digital marketing world. With Umbrella's support, marketers can now achieve their goals with greater ease and efficiency, transforming themselves into true digital marketing trusted advisors and elevating their businesses rapidly. The discussion delves into the vital aspects of teamwork, mentorship, leadership, and draws inspiration from Itamar's personal journey to success. Umbrella functions as a marketing agency hub, akin to a REMAX for marketers, where aspiring entrepreneurs seeking to start or expand their advertising agencies or digital marketing services businesses can partner with a local provider under the name Umbrella Local. This collaboration enables members to leverage Umbrella's vast network and the strength of an established brand. A small fee paid by each member combines to fund substantial investments in promoting the Umbrella Local brand, making it the ideal solution for independent agencies looking to grow faster. As Itamar aptly puts it, a strong brand thrives on trust, which directly translates into increased sales. Building trust, however, takes time and involves navigating through various challenges and learning from mistakes. With Umbrella as their ally, new digital marketing agencies and professionals gain access to a technology-driven platform that facilitates reselling white label digital marketing solutions provided by top-notch vendors worldwide. The platform guarantees impressive profit margins of 40%-80% and offers the most appealing Unique Selling Proposition (USP) in the market. Members can also tap into a nonstop stream of appointments with potential clients. It doesn't get much better than this. Umbrella's merits are evident through numerous testimonials, reviews, case studies covering all niches and services in digital marketing, engaging content across social networks, an extensive network of marketing experts, a company podcast, and a myriad of other resources.
