No impressed will look at legal action…

No impressed will look at legal action if they do not refund me as per there guarantee.

Done the course work, spoke to a few potential clients hasn’t worked out also the mentoring isn’t mentoring it’s just look at this part of the course I had no major issues with them until they refused to honor the guarantee or everything works for everyone however they force cold calls which was not mentioned which is very poor.

Shame I can’t add photo proof

Your reply is a load of tosh extremely inaccurate and shows your level of BS I won’t bother arguing here I have better things to do.

Hi David,

It’s a shame you’ve taken to Trustpilot to threaten legal action. Especially as we asked you a few times in response to your emails to provide the details of you taking action and doing the work, which were yet to receive. Also, it’s disappointing you’ve said that we give you no support, when you have had multiple 1 on 1 sessions via call with your support contact even outside of the 3 months you paid for.

You asked Adam in our team back in March do you have to cold call and he responded with other ways to engage prospective clients, thats without the other modules in the training on DM's and Emails. I mention it a lot on my webinars too that cold calling is one got the most efficient ways so it shouldn’t come as a surprise.

We always say to people that to make this work you need to apply what we’re saying, show up where you can and put the work in. We started to raise some eyebrows when you said to Vish your support contact back on June 7th (4 months after joining a 3 months course) when you said that you keep putting things off. We can also see that you haven’t gone through the training in full, aswell as Alex your business partner hasn’t either, who we granted your request to get access too.

On June 10th, you told Vish you was going to go through the modules as it became clear that you hadn’t done any of it, and you have only come onto a handful of the live sessions (and haven’t watched any of the replays)

The only prospect we know that you have spoken to is a fencing company in which you pitched him a website, which we help you sell paid ads as a service not websites.

Like I said, it’s a shame that you’ve taken this route especially as we’ve given you full access for 7 months as opposed to the 3 which was promised as you were having troubles.

Also, we haven’t officially refused a refund as we were waiting for you to respond with proof that you have in fact done the work. As you can see from another review on this Trust Pilot thread, that if you have done the work and it doesn’t work out for you, we will refund without issues. We are very clear, as per our T&Cs that it is an action based guarantee where you need to do a certain amount of work in order to know that it doesn’t work for you.

Money Back Guarantee

After 6 months in the program I wasn’t able to make it work. The training was awesome and there was lots of support, I just couldn’t get the sales in. True to their word, I was refunded in full once they had checked I qualified with my out reach numbers. Honestly I couldn’t fault the team, great bunch of guys and really supportive community too.

Worth every penny!!!

This course is comprehensive and well-structured, making it valuable whether you're completely new to marketing or already have experience. I joined to broaden my knowledge, and it revealed how much I didn't know. The in-depth content covers a wide range of topics, ensuring a thorough understanding of modern marketing strategies.

One of the standout features is the supportive team. They are always available to help with anything, whether it's clarifying training materials or providing advice for your next meeting with a potential client. Their real-world insights and personalized support have been incredibly beneficial.

Overall, this course is worth every penny. It's a significant investment in your professional growth, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their marketing skills and knowledge!

I remember reading these reviews before…

I remember reading these reviews before I signed up - I wasn’t sure at the time if it would work out as it wouldn’t have been the first training programme I’d invested in that didn’t pay off for me.

Happy to say though, thanks to Matt, Adam and the rest of the DMA team I’ve recently signed my second client. The training materials are world class and the support has been invaluable to me. It’s also a great community and being surrounded by people with similar ambitions has been great.

If you are the same as I was and find yourself reading these reviews and unsure if you should go ahead then from one entrepreneur to another; go for it! You’ve got nothing to lose in comparison to what you have to gain from getting on board.

What can I say...

What can I say, I signed up with these guys and within 8 weeks I had my first client. Their curriculum is incredible, it's organised, easy to follow and highly valuable. From mindset stuff to business setup, how to go about your niche, lead gen, sales, FB Ads and so on. It's detailed, comprehensive, everything you need to start and build a successful digital marketing agency. I haven't even mentioned the best bit yet. If you're technically inept like I am lol, there's 24/7 community support and weekly calls to ensure you're always getting your questions answered and moving forward. I promise you, if you like the idea of having your own digital marketing agency that you can run from anywhere in the world, then the D.M.A is a great choice. Mat Wilson has been in the game for over 10 years, he knows his stuff, and is a great mentor, so if you're on the fence right now, get down off the bloody thing and get signed up, you won't regret it, just like I don't.

I'd highly recommend DMA academy

I'd highly recommend DMA academy to anyone looking to start an agency.

I had a bit of experience running ads from previous businesses but quickly learnt through the course content I knew nothing.

The course videos are very detailed and engaging, really helpful with screen shares actually showing you set ups. It's not only showing you how to set up ads but how to set up an agency from scratch. Some real good golden nuggets throughout.

The sales training is also really helpful and from buying courses previously the sales training alone would cost you what the whole DMA academy course does.

You're also part of a community sharing ideas and wins with other people on the same journey and to add even more value 3 times a week DMA do live webinars to help with ads, sales and also show you how they're setting up ads for their 8 figure agency. This is priceless!

If you're on the fence trust me join!

My experience with inside the DMA…

My experience within the DMA Academy has been transformational for me.

The sales training is exceptional, and everyone is very supportive, helping you through your journey, whatever stage you’re at.

The other agency owners in the community have been really beneficial; you get to meet people who are on the same journey as you, and together you help each other overcome obstacles.

I joined 16 days ago, and in that time, I’ve had two sales meetings and one sign-up. This took a lot of cold outreach though!

I’m still very early in my journey, but I definitely recommend the DMA Academy if you want to start or grow an SMMA.

You have to put the work in, but if you want it, these guys will show you how to do it. Ultimately, it’s still down to you.

Did someone say… DMA Academy!

Well what can I say about the DMA Academy…

Let’s start by saying that Matt, Adam, Vish and the rest of the team are a group of outstanding people!

All very experienced and excellent at what they do and the support you get during your training is impeccable!

You as the individual need to be prepared to hit this hard and put as much time and effort you have in to this to make sure it will work, you really can’t put below 100% effort in to this…

Well… you can if you want however you’re not going to get the results you’re after and there is no point starting something like this in the first place if you’re not willing to do the graft!

That being said it is an absolute amazing opportunity to get started on or even improve on your existing digital marketing agency.

You’re given all the resources you could possibly need… you just apply yourself and do the work with the training and resources you’ve been given.
You even get an accountability coach who will keep you on track, set goals, targets and have weekly check ins with you to make sure you’re doing what you should be!
And even with that, you can still reach out to them during the week or even speak to other members of the team and other like minded people on the community page!

Yes at first I was a bit 50/50 on if I wanted to do it or not and whether the money I was about to spend would be worth it… I mean of course you’re going to think that if you be never done it before…

Plus I didn’t have much time outside of my current commitments to put in to this hence the doubts at the start…

However I made it work because I knew I wanted to get into something such as this and if you change your mindset and think of it as a self investment then it makes the decision a lot easier and for me…
I chose to take that leap!

So I’ve been part of the community a few months now and after closing my first client, it really hit home of how great it feels when the work and effort you put in to something… pays off…
even better when you think of any issues or complications you’ve had to deal with along the way!
whether that be a day job you currently do taking up more of your time…
or just general life finding it’s way in between you and the digital marketing agency you’re working so hard on progressing.

So yes…
If you’re looking to start a business in digital marketing,
If you’re looking to challenge yourself and have something to apply your time and efforts too,
Or even if you already have an agency or a business in digital marketing and you’re just looking to solidify your knowledge and improve on any of your current weaknesses….

Then the DMA Academy is 100% a worthy place to invest yourself in to!

Is it worth the money?

Let's face it if you're reading these reviews on the fence curious to know if your money will be well spent investing in yourself.

So here it is, if your someone that takes action, fully commits and follows through then perfect this is for you!

If your not someone who fully commits, puts in the work, time, dedication to learn and actually takes action then this isn't for you.

The way I see this group, course or community is only if you apply yourself you will succeed.

You litterally get access to everything you need to kick start your marketing business with plenty of added bonuses.

I was concerned about spending 3k considering the amount of nonsense courses out there but you are literally getting the blue print on how to setup your agency.

Take this as an example, if you buy a car that's great you will only go as far as the fuel inside the car on the day of purchase.

You need to consistently add fuel to the motor to move forward with this.
(Meaning you need to take action and keep implementing what your told, shown and taught throughout)

You make the purchase but only if you dedicate yourself will you go the distance.

So your wondering, well that's great but what are the bonuses?

Inside the group you meet like-minded ambitious individuals who love to share experiences, problems, wins and solutions that we all go through during the launch and scaling.

This is great to be around people of the same mindset and pick one another up when you hit a bump in the road.

Following on you have an awesome team who genuinely want to see you succeed Adam is ace and a true example of a committed individual wanting to see the group progress.

Within the group you have sales specialists and ad pros who help critique your ads and ensure they get better meaning you hold clients for longer.

Then Mat himself, the cherry on top of the cake shall we say!

Whilst he has built this operation choosing some of the best in their field to help provide this education he also pops in and drops some gems, new video uploads and encourages you.

This helps big time, also I must add cold calling is a big part of this programme and you even see Mat do it himself and close.

Again this is the blueprint with everything you need including the coaches but they can only provide the ingredients for the cake.

You need to be the one who bakes it!

So only if your serious about personal growth and setting up an agency will you make this work because without your commitment it probably won't work.

However, the good news 👍

I have been with the group just over 3 months now and about to finalise my 8th deal which if you work out the numbers.

It's already profitable, anyways just an honest review and for those that are serious just do it, stop wasting time take action and follow through.

I look forward to meeting you in the group 🧔👊

The team are friendly, experienced and professional, they have your back at every step of the way.

The DMA Academy are 100% legit. I have paid for multiple courses online and the support you get from the team is by far the best I have ever experienced. They have helped me from the ground up week in week out building my digital marketing agency which has now allowed me to ditch my 9-5 and go online full time. Literally cannot speak highly enough of these guys!!!!

The DMA programme and team is amazing.
They take you through the whole process of setting up a digital marketing agency, down to delivering ads for your clients.
The best part, the team really care about you and your results, unlike many other programmes I have attended in the past where they just sell you a course and a dream.

Highly recommended and fantastic value for what you get.

The best training I have ever been through

I embarked on this training few weeks ago and literally feel like I have been carapulted to another dimension in terms of acquired knowledge about sales and how Facebook work! The training is very comprehansive with an amazing support from all the team and my lovely accountantability coach, always being there for me! Thanks Harry.
The community is very friendly, I feel like we all became friends even though we never met in person. Its nice to see that everyone is on the same boat learning and supporting each other.
The whole experience is literally beyond my expectations.
Highly recommend.

Big thumbs up!

If you want to start your own Digital Marketing Agency this is for you! It's an absolute no-brainer.
Mat and his team have created an online database that takes you step by step through everything you need to know to get your agency started and bag some high-value clients.
The 121 support is also excellent, with personal phone/zoom calls and someone to answer my questions pretty much 24/7.

After being in the Academy for 1 month I had secured my first 3 clients.

The Best way to start a digital agency

Wel,l the D.M.A. Academy is a really great online and coaching course. We are given not just superb informative online videos about creating our own digital agency, but also incredible coaching support from Mat's team as well as from the community here. I only wanted to have my own digital agency when I discovered how bad most of the other agencies were out there. I have now built my website and created my own unique offer that I feel confident will create a most successful agency that will work for all my clients. In fact If anyone who joins D.M.A Academy, completes all the online course, attends most of the events and follows its crucial advice on how to get clients they will certainly succeed. Here we are learning from the people that are successfully doing it right now.

The DMA Academy Is Excellent Value For Money.

The DMA Academy is superb value for money. Mat, the CEO of DMA Academy is even prepared and very happy to jump on 121 coaching calls with you. Any time I have needed to speak with my mentor, Harry, he's just a call away. Super friendly, and highly knowledgeable, this course has everything to get you started and running an ads agency, though you do need to put the work in. I billed my first client in month one (£3k) so the course has already paid for itself, and now on the hunt for more clients. Facebook training is excellent and way more than enough to get you started.

Unprecedented and I am not kidding, Great Support, Step-by-Step Focused Training That Actually Empowers You to Succeed in Launching a Social Media Marketing Service Agency

This is great training to get you off the ground and up and running that actually care about your success. No joke, that is rare these days.

Everyone is happy to pitch in when you ask for help or feedback not just the team at the DMA (who are great), but also those doing the training course, so I do mean everyone and you get results cause it's step-by-step and focused on what's most important, to get you to your goal of setting up a social media marketing service agency.

So a course by real people who have done it, helping others to do it and succeed and actually giving a .. you know what I mean.
