Ben Barnes

Since 2015, I've been helping businesses to grow their online presence and sales across all aspects of digital marketing, specialising in SEO and search marketing.

From 2016-2018 I studied with the Chartered Institue of Marketing to gain my Diploma in Digital Marketing Strategy and am an Associate member of the CIM. In 2022 I won team leader of the year at the AI Journal Awards, with my agency Neural Edge winning small sized company of the year.
