How it Works

Digital Marketing Strategies take a 3-step approach

1. Research

I learn as much about your business or client as possible including target audiences, current performance, goals and targets

2. Strategise

I then tie all the information I’ve gathered into a strategy document with recommendations and estimated impact

3. Implement

Once you are happy with the strategy, I can implement the recommendations by applying my PPC and SEO skillsets
