Phil Hudson
CEO & Co-Founder
I never wanted to be a marketer; I wanted to be a screenwriter, but growing up impoverished in rural Oklahoma meant my focus was on building financial independence for myself and my family.
After my two-year service mission for my church, I returned home in early 2008 during the recession. That left me scrambling, and I took a job at StoresOnline, a $100 million-a-year e-commerce seminar company.
That’s where I cut my teeth in sales, digital, and ecommerce. After pursuing a degree in Screenwriting, I started Rook Digital when my agency clients asked me to take them on.
Since then, Rook has given me a vehicle to pursue my Hollywood career while providing for my family. Now, it’s my full-time passion, and I love helping people win online.
My expertise is in National SEO, AIO, eCommerce, Conversion Rate Optimization, and funnel systems. As the CEO, I oversee vision, direction, systems, and consulting for our higher-level clients.
I love knowing that when anyone interacts with Rook, they leave better educated and better protected from the snake oil salesmen that infest our industry.
