He comes with a wide range of experience that extends from TV to SEO, social, and more; making his insights all round great tips to improve your social media game!

The name of his social media game..? Strategic planning. He has some great insights on how you can start to think of your content as the sum of all its parts and how that strategy can go on to boost organic search and beyond.

Admittedly, like many of us, he’s NOT so sold on social media being able to showcase ROI, but don’t fret… he has ways around that too!

His most prominent tip? Youtube TrueView in-stream ads! He swears by them in short form; 15-20 seconds to be exact! Why? Have a listen!
