JA note from the founder
Jeremy, GoMedia
Before you spend a minute on this page, you deserve to know why it exists.
I've been COO of two massive marketing agencies.
One was built on a broken model: upfront fees and retainers.
I was made COO and led a team of just three, including me…
…handling 35 clients.
Yes, you read that right. 35.
My team?
A success manager, the bridge between the clients and me. He absorbed the complaints, and I (COO and strategist: ads, creatives, funnels, CRO and more) came up with the solution, then implemented it myself.
And a third member, pretty much a copy-and-paste role (no disrespect to him). His job was to take one thing off my plate: onboarding clients by building their systems, collecting all the back-end info and setting everything up. Even on templates, it took a lot of time.
I also built their CRM (project management, client management, SOP database and more), which saved them a couple thousand dollars a month.
I wasn't just COO and head of fulfilment for the clients. I was also helping the CEO build his business.
Here's what nobody tells you.
From the inside, the company looked like it was growing.
But because of how it was structured, we were optimising reports.
Making sure we looked good. Making sure it looked like we delivered results…
…when in fact the clients weren't getting any.
We justified churn as "part of the business".
It wasn't. It was the broken model.
End result?
The team was overloaded.
The results were mediocre.
Lesson from this?
You can't scale an offer when your attention is split 35 ways.
Our group coaching calls told the same story.
Most clients left feeling unheard, with more questions than answers, because they never got the one-on-one attention they needed.
Yes, I helped rebuild that company's money model around consistent monthly recurring revenue…
…because the model I walked into was broken. No recurring revenue. Bleeding money whenever new customers dried up. A black hole, if you ask me.
It went from $20,000 a month (inconsistent, because it relied heavily on acquiring new customers)…
…to consistently hitting $40-50K months, acquiring only 4-7 new clients, plus recurring revenue.
With a record month of $80,000, during the CEO's holiday with his family.
But the wins came at a cost.
On paper, I was winning.
I was stacking wins and money…
…and not taking care of myself.
To the point that I became the problem: my mind, my hormones, everything.
Here's my before and after…
I was 99kg in the "before". Now I'm stable at 82-83kg, with more muscle than ever. Not flexing, just making my point: I'm sharper and happier than I've ever been.
Then I met Cesare, a fitness coach with over 1.5 million followers across his socials, and his fiancé Alia, also a coach, for women 40+ dealing with PCOS symptoms.
I flew to Thailand, spent time with them and met new people.
It honestly opened my eyes.
That's when I realised this mission is far more personal than I thought.
I could've easily kept making money with my expertise in e-commerce, and never looked back.
But what I saw in Thailand changed what I want my work to do.
Because helping people change their health, their business and their confidence doesn't stop with them.
It changes their families, their kids and everyone around them.
Why GoMedia exists
After Thailand, I took a break and stopped everything, to reflect and realign myself with my purpose.
I asked myself a thousand times:
Who do I want to serve?
What impact do I want to have?
And what legacy do I want to leave?
The answer:
Help change a million lives.
Whether it's physical transformations like the one above…
…or business transformations, like Camera Focus, helping photographers turn their craft into a profitable business…
…or 4 Truth Health, helping people break free from chronic disease through lifestyle medicine and healthy habits…
…or Oh Wellness, helping Muslim dads with their health and fitness…
…and many more.
So from today, we track the success metrics of our clients, and of their clients.
And we build a wall that holds a million people, and how their lives changed through the brands we've worked with and the work we did.
That's why we exist.
That's why we built GoMedia.
And that's the why.
