Neil Patel is the co-founder of Crazy Egg, Hello Bar and KISSmetrics. He helps companies like Amazon, NBC, GM, HP and Viacom grow their revenue.

Neil Patel, learned marketing because he had no choice in 2001. At the age of 16, he created his first website and paid a few marketing firms to help him out, but they provided no results and took all of his money. He was left with no choice but to learn marketing, and he eventually got good at it.

Neil never planned on doing marketing for other companies until he met his co-founder Mike Kamo. After working together for 7 years they decided to create a different kind of digital agency, one that was honest and only took on clients that they could actually help. And instead of focusing on growing their agency, their number one focus was to grow their clients and provide a ROI.
