“I founded Groupiehead Academy to empower small business owners and marketing managers with the skills to take their marketing efforts into their own hands. While many are talented at overseeing marketing campaigns, too often they don’t have the experience and practical expertise to execute strategies themselves. And most of the time, the work is actually very simple – they can handle the work, they just need someone to show them what to do. Our courses equip these leaders to personally handle key marketing tasks, from content creation to digital advertising. By learning to do the work themselves, they can drive results more efficiently and cost-effectively.”

Why Groupiehead Academy?

YouTube may offer an abundance of marketing tutorials, but buyer beware – many self-proclaimed “experts” lack the depth of knowledge and experience to provide effective training. They’re often more salesperson than instructor, focused on driving clicks over delivering value. And keep in mind that marketing can be very different from one business to the next. The methods demonstrated on YouTube could very likely not be appropriate for your business. This is why our coaching method is so successful – we teach you solid strategies for your specific business.

At Groupiehead Academy, our instructor has 25+ years of hands-on marketing experience under his belt. He doesn’t just teach the concepts – He lives them daily, implementing the same strategies he teaches to grow the businesses of hundreds of clients. This hard-won expertise allows Groupiehead Academy to provide practical, actionable training that actually works.

While slick videos may entertain, true learning requires proven veterans who know what it takes to succeed. Our courses distill decades of in-the-trenches work into accessible lessons that empower you with skill-based knowledge. If you seek marketing mastery from authorities who practice what they preach, you’re in the right place.

Groupiehead’s tagline is “Rockstar Marketing for the Regular Joe”… and we mean it!

Mark has been a member of several successful bands over the past 20 years.  Most notably, Mark was co-founder and co-owner of the band, Ten Year Vamp. Ten Year Vamp has opened for 50+ well-known National acts, including Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Lifehouse, Eddie Money, Nickelback, Gin Blossoms, and more. Ten Year Vamp’s original songs have been used by many National and cable television networks (CBS, ABC, MTV, FOX Sports, Showtime, TLC, and more) as well as major league sports teams and International businesses (Adobe, Dockers, NHL, NASCAR, MLB and more).

Why is this important? Well independent bands, like Ten Year Vamp, just don’t achieve this level of success without the help of huge record labels. It took some well-executed, seriously creative marketing… and maybe some killer music too. :)
