Hi, I’m Pat O’Brien, President of POB Marketing, an Internet marketing company located in St. Louis, MO.
I’ve spent most of my career as a software engineer, developing database applications for small, niche, entrepreneurial businesses, where I was able to leverage technology to support the rapid growth of companies that doubled or tripled in size in a few short years. In 1996 I started my own business providing technology consulting and custom software development.
Along the way I became fascinated with Google AdWords (Google’s pay-per-click advertising system) and affiliate marketing (marketing other vendor’s products and services for a commission). By going through the school of hard knocks I was able to learn what works in online marketing, and just as importantly, what doesn’t work. And while I still spend time managing my own affiliate marketing projects, through POB Marketing I’m able to share my discoveries with local business owners who are often confused and misinformed about Internet Marketing (yes, there are a lot of shady companies out there providing PPC, SEO, SEM, and other services).
One thing I’ve learned is that it takes a variety of skills to fully utilize what the Internet has to offer: from web design and development, to copywriting, blogging, and video creation, to PPC management and Search Engine Optimization. So I’ve partnered with the best companies in the industry to make sure I can supply you with the resources you need to be successful.
My team and I work exclusively with business owners who want to get more clients and make more sales using the latest online marketing techniques. In a nutshell, we can help you leverage the Internet, as well as your own client list, to grow your business — whether that means attracting new clients or increasing sales from existing ones, improving your pay-per-click campaigns, or optimizing your website.
If you’d like to schedule a brief consultation with me, please use the contact form or call (314) 406-9891 and leave a detailed message and I will follow up with you.
I look forward to meeting you and learning more about your business.
