RooMedia Consulting is headed by Stephen Roome, BBA. Stephen has had extensive experience in the business world, starting his first business venture at eleven years old mowing lawns.
“When I was about 11 years old, I would get my dad to drop me off in town, and I would go around and cut the lawns for local businesses like the bank and LCBO. With the help of my parents I was able to grow a client base and kept up my lawn care business until I moved away to go to university.
In my first year of university I majored in biology, but made the switch over to business in my second year. I knew that at the end of the day, a degree in biology wasn’t going to take me where I wanted to go – but a business degree would. I simultaneously worked numerous jobs through university alongside my classes. These jobs included teaching snowboarding at the local ski hill, selling cell phones at a kiosk at the mall, and selling computers at Future Shop.
During my summers I would intern at businesses in Toronto, including Virgin Mobile and Bell Canada. There I learned invaluable experience in marketing and branding with large companies. After university I landed a business development job with Bell Canada working out of the Creekbank Campus in Mississauga. In this position I worked closely with Bell executives and SMB companies to help them break into new markets. Again, learning valuable lessons in business development.
After working with Bell, I took a position as a marketing specialist at First Page SEO, eventually becoming the company president and operations manager. Here I learned the ins and outs of digital marketing, including search engine optimization, email marketing, social media management and more. With First Page SEO, I’ve been able to help numerous startups, SMBs, and larger corporations hit new targets and grow their audience and businesses online.
I have a passion for business, and a talent for seeing new opportunities and business trends. RooMedia Consulting is a new way to help business grow not only online, but in all aspects of their business model. In everything from the branding, to supply chain management, operations efficiency and more. My goal is to help businesses at their utmost potential and continue to grow. I want to help business owners realize their visions and accomplish their own goals.”
