Our Team

Steve has been involved in the world of websites and digital marketing since 1997, before Google even existed, let alone the likes of Facebook and TikTok! During that time, he has worked with a wide variety of clients, from helping multinational blue chips to manage and improve their web presence to advising small start-up businesses on strategy and how to get established online, often with a limited budget. These days his main focus is ensuring the smooth running of the business and making sure both clients and staff remain happy.

Adrian started working in Digital Marketing in 2006 and still regrets it. Moving from customer relations for BT and Sony into digital marketing for automotive manufacturers, then into SEO, wandering off into PR for a bit, and then swiftly wandering back into SEO and Digital Marketing, he has consistently fooled his peers into bestowing upon him an assumption of adequacy. SEO experience covers in-house and agency-side, from global enterprises through to SMEs, and across pretty much every sector and vertical. Responsible for new business, sales, pitches, pricing, marketing, existing client relations, strategy, occasional irresponsibility, and demanding more table football games. A failed musician (retired), an unsuccessful cartoonist, and an unpublished poet, Adrian plans to avoid taking up any more hobbies for the foreseeable future.
