For over a decade, I’ve been running my own business, creating content for other business owners, and networking and socialising in the business world. Four years of that were also spent as Head of Marketing at a digital agency, giving further insights into running a team and a business. The funny thing about spending so

When I begin working with a client, I ask questions like ‘What are your goals for the next 6-12 months?’ and ‘What products and services do you want to promote?’. These simple questions give me an overview of who they are, what they want to achieve, and how to achieve it. Then, I can build
The simplest brand awareness definition is that it's the number of people who know your brand exists and, consequently, have the potential to buy from you.

Over the last ten plus years, as I became an entrepreneur, a small business owner, and worked as Head of Marketing at a digital marketing agency, I’ve met MANY brilliant people. Other entrepreneurs and business owners, all of them with companies in need of marketing. A funny conversation I’ve had regularly with many of them
If you’re new here, you’ve likely not heard me discuss the mercurial omnipotence of the Google Gods. Deities, in general, are problematic, particularly when gathered together in a pantheon (seriously, take a look at the Greek lot). At present, the Google gods (by which I mean the 200 plus factors Google’s SEO ranking algorithm uses to determine
