We Have Shaped Digital 22 To Be A Bit Different...

Founder and Director of Digital 22 with a background in SEO. Chartered Marketer, Degree in Business, Adwords Qualified, HubSpot Certified and Bing Qualified.

I am heavily involved in our sales and marketing, as well as offering my experience to the inbound teams. I spend most of my spare time with my wife, Perry, and our little one, Cooper, but I also love watching football, supporting Sunderland AFC and playing golf.

Interesting fact? I learned to be a scuba diver instructor as teenager in Yemen. That was when I lived in Yemen at 123 Yemen Road, Yemen.

Director at Digital 22, HND in Graphics & Photography, Degree in Graphic Design and Certified in HubSpot. Too many courses to list but one of my favourites was Tony Robbins’ five day Business Mastery. Winner of the 2016 Digital Entrepreneur Awards and National Entrepreneur Awards 2013

I’ve been fortunate enough to work for many global clients over the last 20 years such as Procter and Gamble, Nestlé, Mars and MasterFoods. Many household names such as Ariel, Pampers, Pedigree, Dolmio, Uncle Ben’s, B&Q, Boots and Cadbury to mention a few.

I have a passion and love for business growth, marketing and learning. The bigger the challenge the more desire I have to succeed.

My main motivation are my three girls, who I live for. My hobbies are anything adrenaline based: Mountain biking, snowboarding and boxing… it’s the only way I can switch off.

Director of People at Digital 22 with a background in paid search and account management.

As Director of People I am responsible for recruitment, training and culture - generally making sure we have a happy and effective team. This is one of the core beliefs amongst those of us who formed this agency.

Most of my time is spent with my beautiful son Cooper. Any other little spare time I get I love enjoying a nice meal out and few drinks with my husband, Rikki.

Something most people don't know about me is I’m a secret scouser :)

As Senior Inbound Manager, I'm responsible for our key client relationships, marketing strategies and results. I also support and train the wider Inbound team to ensure that Digital 22 is at the forefront of the Inbound movement.

My background is in e-commerce and I graduated in Consumer Psychology what seems like a lifetime ago. I'm certified in Hubspot Sales and Marketing, Email, Content etc (however they seem to create a new exam each week!)

You'll find me at the #ManchesterHug, on the Inbound After Hours Podcast - or walking my dog Teddy on a weekend in the woods.

Inbound Manager with a background in written content and a pretty diverse range of experience. Certified by AdWords and by HubSpot.

At work, I liaise with our clients and plan how to achieve the results they want through inbound marketing. If you worked with Digital 22, be prepared for early morning Basecamp messages from me.

The rest of the time, you’ll find me walking the dog or playing cricket. And assuring my other half that, “Yes, I do think that’s a lovely picture on Houzz, Charlotte, but, no, we don’t need to redecorate the living room just yet.”

Under weaknesses, I’d have to put “eczema”.

My specialism is looking at the technical side of the website (ensuring all the correct factors are present for the website to be a success organically) as well as outreach. Outreach is the process of contacting websites in the correct niche, building relationships with them and gaining links to help strengthen your website’s trust and authority.

My favorite things outside of work are walking my 3 dogs, decorating the cottage and watching Countryfile.

Melanie ensures there is a great culture throughout the business. She is enthusiastic and is always looking for ways to develop and improve. For example, she oversees a training and development plan for everyone in the business.

Outside of work, she enjoys staying active, whether that’s going to the gym or skiing. She also likes spending time with family and friends, reading, learning French and binge watching her favourite shows. Melanie has a shameless obsession with Beyonce.

On a personal level, I’m an avid sports fan and Arsenal supporter. I enjoy basketball, climbing, snowboarding and of course, football. You’ll most likely find me being kept on my toes by my son Otis or exploring Lancashire sites with the family.

Aside from work, I really like spending time back in Ireland with our family’s dogs (5 adorable Bernese Mountain Dogs: Gracie, Anja, Indi, Raffi and Levi). I enjoy going to dog shows, visiting new places, making podcasts and audio documentaries and catching up with friends and family over a nice cup of tea. Carrot cake is healthy because it has carrots in it, right?!

There are a few hobbies she likes to pursue including embroidery, baking and playing PS4, but you’re more likely to find her walking her Bengal cat, Nala, or online shopping!

She’s recently taken an interest in fitness and has started running, playing Badminton and going for long walks. When she’s not out and about she’ll be relaxing in front of the TV catching up on the soaps or watching Disney films.

People are always surprised to hear that at the age of 17, she went to Tenerife by herself for a month to take part in whale and dolphin conservation.

When, I was little, I used to talk in a made up language that only me and my twin sister understood.

Interestingly, Joe has played guitar in a band for 12 years and has been lucky enough to tour Europe and America several times.

He's obsessed with guitars and is well into the likes of Hendrix, Richard Thompson and Neil Young, but can be found secretly listening to a bit of Britney Spears too.

A cool fact about Joe? His first job out of university was working for Storm Thorgerson, the graphic designer responsible for the massively famous Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon album sleeve.

One last thing - I love TEA. And Yorkshire.

One of the Frontend Developers here at Digital 22, so my job is to make our Design Team’s pretty designs come to life. This lets me put my First Class Honours Degree in Interactive Media Development to good use.

I’ve got plenty of experience in big website builds and enjoy working so closely with the designers and fellow developers here in the office. This team spirit probably stems from my love of playing football (if Blackpool FC carry on the way we have been doing, I might even get a game in goal, one day).

Besides watching the Tangerines, I also enjoy films and TV (Gladiator and GoT). If you work with me, be prepared for FRIENDS references, memes and gifs. Could I BE a bigger fan?!

CRO Analyst here at Digital 22 with a BA Hons degree in Sports Marketing. Past experience includes E-Commerce and Global Partnerships research, but now works in the support of Growth Driven Design projects, analysing user data to help shape development of your website.

Away from Digital 22, I enjoy watching any kind of sport, but most importantly watching Blackburn Rovers win (before you say anything, we have won the league), I also try to play golf and football in my spare time with friends and family. I’ve even done a skydive and actually enjoyed it!

As well as sport, I spend my time binge watching films and TV series in which I’m a big fan of Peaky Blinders, Game of Thrones and Black Mirror.

Inbound Marketer certified by HubSpot with a Level 3 diploma in digital marketing.

My role at Digital 22 covers the full inbound spectrum but my speciality is SEO. You would most likely find me doing keyword research, on-site optimisation and outreaching - basically helping clients get found on search engines!

On a personal note, I love partying at the weekend with my friends and having a jolly good time. Other than that shopping, watching Bridget Jones or cooking tea.

P.S I am very clumsy and constantly fall over :)

I have knowledge and experience in all aspects of inbound marketing and have worked in-house within the tech and printing industry. On a typical day at Digital 22, you’ll find me helping the Inbound Managers, creating inbound marketing strategies for our clients, as well as implementing them.

Outside of work, I like to catch up on the latest series that’s on Netflix, doodle with my pencils and watercolours, and go for long walks with the family dog.

I’m quite partial to a funny gif from time to time...

Experienced Inbound Marketer who has knowledge of all aspects of digital marketing. I have worked in-house in various industries and certified in various qualifications, including the Chartered Institute of Marketing.

At Digital 22, I split my time between growing your social media accounts and managing PPC advertising. I’m also responsible for sharing inbound content across the relevant social channels and coordinating strategy with the Inbound Managers.

For my sins, I’m a Bolton Wanderers season ticket holder and enjoy going to away games (in regards to recent seasons, I’m using the term ‘enjoy’ pretty loosely there). I’m also in a brass band as part of the Salvation Army, having played the euphonium since I was five.

An interesting fact about myself is that I volunteer with the emergency response team, so this means I help feed firefighters and police officers at major incidents.

Social Media Marketer who has social media agency experience and has a passion for, you guessed it: #SocialMedia! So much so, she completely switched careers before joining us, because her passion for social was so strong.

Louise’s role at Digital 22 is to develop social media strategies and drive you forward with first class social media content, management and analysis. She works closely with the PPC and Content teams to get the best reach and results.

Outside of work, you'll see Lou singing in a gospel choir or singing at Preston North End. Either way, she’ll be singing! She also admits she has a big weakness for chocolate.

At Digital 22, I’m part of the team that works to get to know you, your business and the industry like the back of my hand so I can produce content that’s designed specifically to attract the audience you want.

Outside of work, I’m a massive shopaholic who loves cats, cups of tea and a good mojito or daiquiri. I also aspire to have a Victoria’s Secret model body, but I just love KFC too much. If there was ever a zombie apocalypse, that’s the thing I’d miss the most - for sure.

Matt joined on our content team having previously worked in in-house digital marketing, with a background in writing for print and online journalism. He graduated from university with a BA(Hons) in Journalism.

At work, he is a part of our close knit team who are dedicated to exploring your business and your industry, so that they can produce tailored content perfect for attracting the right customers.

Outside the office, Matt is a big Burnley FC fan. However if there’s no match, you’ll find him playing cricket. He's massively into his music too (bit of an anorak if he's honest), and often attends gigs and festivals.
