Moving Beyond Disadvantage with Tokunbo Ajasa-Oluwa

This episode is a little different from the topics we usually cover on the Internet Marketing Podcast as we’re joined by Tokunbo Ajasa-Oluwa, Chief Executive Officer at Career Ready.

SiteVisibility partnered with Career Ready back in 2018 to support them with the management of their Google Ads grant. We’ve witnessed first-hand the principles that Tokunbo has instilled in Career Ready since joining as CEO in early 2020 and in this episode he shares with us Career Ready’s ambitions to give more young people opportunities, particularly in creative industries.

In this episode we discuss:

How Career Ready helps young people in the UK access employment
Tokunbo’s first year goals as Career Ready’s CEO
How Career Ready harnessed the advocacy of alumni to showcase the importance of their work
How the pandemic accelerated Career Ready’s use of technology to engage young people
What is social mobility?
A breakdown of Career Ready’s services for employers and young people and how to access them

Jason of Site visibility has been really supportive of us at @YMCA Downslink, connecting us to people in his network that can help us with specialist information and training, otherwise often less affordable for us in the 3rd sector. Thanks Jason, your team and network.

Jason and the team at SiteVisibility are an absolute pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend them enough. Jason listens to the brand and always provides solutions that match the business goals, unlike some agencies that believe they know more!

Appreciated how helpful Jason was in our consultation chat, being responsive and flexible in trying to work out ways to help despite the constraints of our very limited budget.

I was really impressed with Jason and the team at SiteVisibility. Although it wasn't a good fit for the smaller budget that I had, Jason still spent a good deal of time giving me his marketing and SEO advice based on my goals and budget outline, which was really kind of him and greatly appreciated.

I've been working with SiteVisbility for a GA and GTM implementation project. The team (Nay, Aaron, Ana) have been incredibly helpful, giving so much of their time to support the project on calls, offering invaluable advice and really making the effort to work with our specific business needs. A super friendly group of people that I would 100% recommend anyone work with.

I contacted SiteVisibilty and ended up speaking with Jason. After a brief discussion he was very open and honest that we weren't quite the right fit (given the stage of my new business), and rather than just leaving it there, Jason has gone over and above to help me, including introducing me to a number of his contacts and some thoughts on the direction we could go strategically. After only spending a short amount of time with Jason I could tell straight away he has an amazing passion for digital and oozes integrity and vast knowledge I will definitely keep Jason and SiteVisibilty in mind for the future, I'd love to scale in the future to work with these guys.
