Pay It Forward with Rob Illidge

My guest this week is Rob Illidge who is the CEO of Social Republic. Rob shares his story of 'how he went for it' and started his business over 5 years ago. In Robs words... I founded Social Republic, the global social media agency, in 2015 as a "new way", an alternative to traditional agencies. Having led in-house marketing teams for eight years, I was frustrated by the lack of transparency offered by agencies, and handed in my resignation at a global finance company one fateful Friday. Monday arrived, and with nothing more than a plan and a list of names, inspired by a cold calling scene from Will Smith’s Pursuit of Happiness, I got to work. Rob Pays it Forward to Gillian Nuttall founder of skin cancer charity Melanoma UK.
