About Me

30-something English man working in digital marketing since 2000. From April 2007 to June 2009 I worked at Altogether Digital, where I headed up the Search, Social & Affiliate department. In June 2009 I joined global media agency Mindshare, where I'm helping to set up their new social media offering, Mindshare SocialMedia8. As well as blogging on Search Engine Land I also write for e-consultancy and occasionally contribute to SEOmoz. I'm always happy to speak at events and have presented at SMX Sydney & London & a4uExpo as well as for the IDM, CIM & RBI.
