 Luke’s Life Journey

TEENAGE YEARS   >> BOY GOES TO WORK
Luke learnt his business lessons in the real world arena the hard way. Working in the family businesses (hotels, nightclubs and restaurants) from the age of 12.  He went full time at the age of 15 leaving school without graduating. 
  – Educated in the entrepreneurial school of hard knocks...
  – In a family business where every dollar & customer counts.  
  – Who better to talk about what works and what doesn’t ?

He then worked full time at Sydney's Stock Exchange gaining a solid understanding of the financial markets. His creative flair and strong value for innovation lead him to the profession of marketing. 

EARLY 20's   >> HEAD DOWN BUM UP
Luke undertook four years of formal marketing studies during the evenings as part of an internship, while working full-time in the liquor industry for two leading companies.  During this period he experienced out-of-this-world marketing and multi-million dollar budgets.
  - National Duty Free Marketing Assistant - Liquor Distributor
  - NSW Marketing and Sponsorship Manager - Brewery

MID 20's   >> DANCING SHOES ON
Luke had been dancing semi-professionally on weekends which included male modelling, stripping and being the Brisbane Broncos team Mascot.  It was good money and loads of fun.
At 25 he set off on a new course to pursue dancing full time and have truck-loads of fun.  It was a sabbatical that liberated him from the challenges of working 7 days a week and studying at the same time.

VINTAGE: 27 YEARS   >> DISASTER STRIKES
After a ferocious near death experience in 1997 that left Luke in a wheel chair for several months.  Serious and permanent nerve damage to his left leg put a permanent lid on his dancing career.
From tragedy new opportunities are born.  The time Luke spent immobilised allowed him to discover the Internet.  He quickly realised how massive it already was and the opportunities (it was going to change the world).  Since that time he has enthusiastically focussed and specialised in Internet Marketing, becoming a practitioner, inspiring teacher and renowned consultant.

VINTAGE: 28 YEARS    >> NEW CAREER JOURNEY
Refreshed and recovered Luke was ready for the next big stage in his life.  He studied Web Management, Design and Multimedia. At graduation he was snapped up as the Marketing Manager for one of Sydney’s largest Web Design Agency's. This 18 month tenure provided Luke with a clear insight into the desperate need for Website Marketing education in the business market place. Organisations were throwing their money at the web with no idea what they were doing or without any chance of success.

VINTAGE: 30 YEARS    >> IT'S ALL ABOUT THE WEB
Since 2000 Luke has been full-time helping and guiding Business Leaders to be effective and profitable on the web.  Luke is a website marketing specialist and his company  LukeHayes.com.au  is totally dedicated to helping and teaching you how to accelerate your website marketing success.  It doesn't matter what product or service you want to market on the Internet, you must know and use proven website marketing strategies and principals.

NAUGHTY FORTY   >> BIG DADDY

Yes you read that correctly, 4 children.  He lives in the beautiful inner-Sydney suburb of Rosebery, and travels extensively speaking to business groups and consulting.  He is considered to be one of the world’s foremost authorities on Website Marketing.

  Why Luke Hayes Is Teaching Website Marketing

Luke had made a strategic career decision to specialise in Internet Marketing.  With his traditional marketing background as a solid base he then developed his Internet expertise.  He studied formally and informally, everything possible to become proficient and skilled at Internet Marketing.

Luke accepted a position managing and marketing one of Sydney’s largest web design studios.  This would give him an insider’s look at the Internet industry.  What Luke discovered was businesses were throwing money at developing websites with no idea what they were doing or why.  There was a clear need and opportunity for Luke to help the business sector to be successful with their website marketing.  So Luke started his own consulting business, helping SME's with their website strategy to create effective and profitable websites.

Luke quickly discovered that there was a tidal wave of bad information and hype about website marketing that was flooding the market place.  It was confusing and misleading.  So Luke decided to extend his website marketing consulting services to include teaching.  He currently speaks several times a month at Association conferences and to business groups. Luke also delivers training / workshops on Website Marketing, eCommerce and Website Promotion.

Luke focusses on telling the business community the truth about the Internet without all the hype. He only teaches proven website marketing principals, strategy development and how to apply these techniques successfully.
