Experience

  • Managing Director

    BlueGlass
    – Present (3 years 11 months)London, United Kingdom

    BlueGlass is an award-winning content marketing agency - driven by creativity, backed by data.

    We work with brands such as Totaljobs, Expedia, Vistaprint and the Financial Times - and have a team who specialise in a range of sectors across the UK and global market.

    Since launching we have won the following awards:
    - 2013 UK Search Awards (Best Use of Search in the Third Sector)
    - 2014 European Search Awards (Best Use of SEO)
    - 2015 European Search Awards (Best Use of Social Media)
    - 2015 UK Search Awards (Best Use of Search in the Third Sector)

    My role at BlueGlass is simply to set the vision and give our team everything they need to succeed.

  • Founder & Director of Strategy

    SEOptimise
    – (6 years 4 months)Oxford, United Kingdom

    I founded SEOptimise in March 2006 and grew the company rapidly into a leading search marketing agency in the UK.

    As director, my role was to build, grow and lead our search team, with a key focus on the strategic direction of organic and paid search campaigns for key clients.

    My responsibility also involved building SEOptimise's reputation as an online brand - this worked incredibly well, with SEOptimise now widely recognised within the search industry. This is largely due to the popularity of the agency blog - leading to further high-profile media, speaking and writing opportunities.

  • Web Developer

    ORIS Group
    – (11 months)Oxford, United Kingdom

    At ORIS Group I worked in a small team of developers working on retail software projects for clients such as The Carphone Warehouse, New Look and Boots. This was developed using Microsoft .NET and SQL Server, I also built a company intranet using Microsoft Sharepoint.

    I also setup and managed an in-house SEO campaign to ensure ORIS dominated Google for industry related terms.

  • Web Developer

    Domino Systems
    – (1 year 2 months)Oxford, United Kingdom

    I worked as a web developer and in systems support during an industrial placement from Oxford Brookes University at Domino Systems (now Business & Decision). This was an excellent experience to help provide a myriad of web-based skills, working upon projects for many well-known brands such as BuyEpson, Corus Hotels and Rotary Watches.

    This was also my first introduction into SEO, learning a wide-range of skills which set me on my way in the world of search.
