My Career History…

I have worked professionally in digital marketing since 2010, but my interest in SEO far pre-dated that. SEO (and now a range of other accumulated skills) have been a hobby of mine.

I also do a lot of different things and take Digital Marketing as whole rather than just set actions disciplines. That said, I am a fast learner and a a hard worker and when I am passionate about something, I make it my life.

I have done all aspects of SEO, Google Ads, Facebook, Analytics and LinkedIn for so long that these are my core skills. I know them like I Know my way to work. I have no favourite, in the same way a builder doesn’t have a favourite tool.

I constantly learn, test, trial and use new tools, platforms and channels every week to keep ahead of the game. Which is my my core skills are just as important in management roles as the ultra-technical knowledge.

My expert level knowledge of these disciplines gives me a unique view on the wonder strategy and how Digital can meet the needs of any client.

Any Other Career History of Note..?

Well, yes… I started it very young, because of my strong aptitude, using computers even from a young age. After completing my training and acquiring my MCP and other Microsoft and Server Cortication’s I worked my way up through an IT career.

IT Career History

Before this I had a successful career in the IT Industry. Due to certain ‘need to know’ rules associated with the CTC Counter Terrorism Checks) and the Official Secrets act… Much of that will be omitted or adjusted.

I have not included that here for many reasons. One is that it is not going to qualify me for disqualify for a job of contract now! I may add this in later! In super summary I have always got on with computer, whether it using Excel as a kid, making games or understanding how they work… I worked my way to server and network engineer which I did for the military and police services.

My pay in the industry was very high and I took a huge pay cut to which careers, and never ever questioned it. Money isn’t everything… But it f**king helps!

My technical skills and natural ability with a computer had given me an edge when approaching this tech-centric industry; combined with my creative flair (see some of of my artwork and hobbies) give me unique insights, solutions and leadership talents.
