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. Most recently I've been exploring how the use of AI is impacting search marketing, along with the tools, strategies and tactics needed for search success in an AI-powered world. 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.
