We had the good fortune of connecting with Ahmed Elmahdy and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ahmed, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?

Hi, I’m Ahmed, the founder of Rocket Launch Media. My journey into starting this agency is pretty close to the heart. You see, it all began when I was running my own business in cell phone repair. I hit a roadblock when it came to marketing – hiring a big agency was way out of my budget. So, I decided to take a crack at digital marketing myself. It was a challenge, but I was determined to make it work.

As I delved deeper into the world of digital marketing, I realized something crucial – there was a real need for specialized marketing, especially in industries like roofing. I saw many roofers out there doing great work but struggling to get noticed online. That’s when it clicked for me. I thought, “What if I could use what I’ve learned to help these businesses reach their potential customers more effectively?”

That’s how Rocket Launch Media came to life. It wasn’t just about starting another digital marketing agency; it was about filling a gap I saw in the market. I wanted to offer something that wasn’t just generic marketing strategies but tailored solutions that understood the ins and outs of the roofing industry.

For me, it’s personal. I know what it’s like to be on the other side, trying to get your business noticed. That’s why at Rocket Launch Media, we’re all about creating strategies that resonate with the specific needs of roofers. It’s not just about getting you online; it’s about making sure you’re found by the right people, in the right place, at the right time.

So, that’s my story. It’s been a journey of learning, adapting, and getting to the heart of what businesses need to succeed in the digital space. And for me, there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing our clients, especially roofers, thrive and grow through the strategies we’ve developed together.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
At Rocket Launch Media, we’ve carved out a unique niche in the digital marketing landscape by exclusively catering to roofing businesses. This specialization allows us to understand the industry’s nuances in a way that generalist agencies can’t. What truly sets us apart is our paid ads lead generation program, which offers roofers exclusive leads on a ‘pay per qualified lead’ basis through Google Guaranteed. This positions our clients right at the top of Google’s search results, distinct from the usual pay-per-click approach.

I’m particularly proud of how we’ve built an all-in-one sales and marketing platform specifically tailored for roofers. This platform is designed not just to optimize revenue but also to automate repetitive tasks, generate reviews, and much more. It’s a comprehensive solution that addresses the unique challenges and opportunities within the roofing industry.

Getting Rocket Launch Media to where it is today wasn’t a walk in the park. The journey involved navigating the complexities of creating a niche-specific platform in a competitive digital space. We overcame these challenges by staying focused on our goal of providing value-specific solutions to roofers, constantly innovating, and adapting to the industry’s evolving needs.

The key lessons learned along the way include the importance of specialization, the power of understanding our client’s specific needs, and the value of offering innovative, tailored solutions. These insights have not only shaped our business strategy but also our approach to client relationships.

What I want the world to know about Rocket Launch Media is that we are more than just a digital marketing agency. We are a partner dedicated to the growth and success of roofing businesses. Our story is one of passion, innovation, and a relentless commitment to our clients’ success.
