With leading UK and international clients, their expansion turns the business into a full turnkey agency covering the remits of conceptualization, design, build and digital marketing.

Richard has experience working both client side and agency side, managing multiple accounts and reporting on performance ROI to directors, shareholders and investors.
Joining Richard on the new team is Dan Frank, as Technical SEO/ASO Manager moving across from Search Laboratory. With four years of technical SEO specialist experience Dan has worked across a number of high end brands including ASOS, Boohoo and PepsiCo.

Ashley Bolser, M.D, who founded the agency in 2001, said: “These additional hires now means that nothing is outsourced, which means accountability and traceability every step of the way on everything that we deliver to our clients. We have added this division after years of not touching SEO because I believe SEO has now grown up. It’s no longer a dark art, it has matured and now a detailed analysis of complex data is essential to be able to make an impact – and this is a way of working that aligns with us”.
