Two Decades of Professional Digital Marketing Experience

In 2000, when my partner and I were starting up an accountancy firm, I created my first professional website. Within weeks we were getting inquiries from around the World and we saw the potential for the firm to be more than just a small town practice. Our online presence made it possible to build a business outside the traditional limits of location, where you have a limited pool of prospects and limited services you can sell to them; so we built an international business advisory firm that provided services to businesses from all over the world that wanted to start up in Ireland. The vast majority of our clients coming through the website, after being found on searches.

Seeing the potential of digital marketing, I started offering these services to outside clients and built my own business serving local businesses in a variety of sectors including: food, photography, property development and sales, retail, tourism and hospitality and, of course, professional services. Through organic search traffic, supported by email marketing and social media campaigns, my clients were able to grow their businesses without much need to pay for advertising and other marketing activities.

My clients find that their websites and other “digital assets” bring a return on their investment via sustainable growth through a steady stream of quality new leads and continued sales and referrals from existing customers. A well developed plan and skilled implementation are needed to ensure success of this kind.

I’ve worked with clients in a variety of industries but, as I was living in a tourism region of Ireland for 20 years, I have a great deal of experience and knowledge of marketing for the tourism and hospitality industry.
