So phenomenally proud of the Brainlabs SEO team at SearchLove London 2022. Grace Frohlich and Jake Roman-Capon made presenting at the event for the first time look like the most natural thing in the world. Amazing job both of you 👏🏻Thanks to Annaleis Montgomery, André Ramos, Jonathan Stewart, Laura Spink, Michele Lo Piccolo, and Alex English for hosting topic tables, running mics, helping at the reg desk, and generally cheering us all on. And of course Arpun Bhuhi for being one half of our dynamic MC duo 😎

🎉 Celebrating 3 years at Brainlabs! 🎉
Now then, didn't that fly by??
My own anniversary comes hot off the heels of Travis Tallent's. We often reminisce about how we joined Brainlabs at the same time, inheriting SEO teams in different regions - both with amazing people, but both in need of nurture and direction.
And through hard work, consistency, positive intent, and a shared vision of what we wanted SEO at Brainlabs to be, we've achieved incredible things internationally for our practice.
As I look back on these last three years, I’m often stunned and humbled by what this team has accomplished together.
Here are some of the highlights that will stay with me:
📈 Driving a +254% increase in SEO revenue and helping our clients achieve game-changing results.
🧬 Evolving our product offering, ensuring we have tech solutions that are ready to tackle the client challenges of tomorrow.
🏗️ Building incredible, high performance partnerships with some of the world’s largest brands, proving the power of collaboration and trust.
👨✈️ Leading and growing an exceptional team to almost 30 SEO and Amazon experts supporting UK/EMEA alone.
🌱 Mentoring team members and celebrating over 15 new starters and 13 well-earned promotions - it's hard to think of a more rewarding part of the job than watching people learn, grow and succeed.
🎓 Seeing the next generation of SEO talent come through our Academy - it's always inspiring to see how this practice continues to fascinate and challenge keen minds.
🎤 MC'ing at SearchLove and watching the incredible talks delivered by Brainlabs SEOers past and present at SL and BrightonSEO (Grace Frohlich, Jake Roman-Capon, Arpun Bhuhi)
SEO is a team sport. And thanks must go to the OG interview panel of Lara Ponniah and Will Critchlow, who originally thought I was a good fit to lead this team (bet that takes you back?!). To two of my oldest SEO friends: Jake Roman-Capon and Mike Lo Piccolo - both of you blazed a trail at Brainlabs and made me want to join you on the journey. To the rest of our senior SEO team: Alex English, Arpun Bhuhi, Lewis Finnigan, Michael Lam, for being the best colleagues and group of advisors anyone could wish for. And then to our SEO team as a whole and SO many more who I don't have space to name. I sometimes have to remind myself of just how many Brainlabbers I have met and talk to on a daily basis!
2025 is already set to be an extraordinary year for Brainlabs and our SEO practice. And I'm most grateful for the opportunity to do more top-drawer work with so many inspiring people - it's what makes it worth getting out of bed in the morning!
And in my new role as Managing Director, I've got grand plans for the future of our SEO practice over the next 3 years...so watch this space! And I'm looking forward to being much more present on LinkedIn and sharing the journey with you 😀
See you in 2025!

Excited to be sharing a stage this Thursday with fellow Brainlabber Holly Chetwood, along with Simon Schnieders (CEO, Blue Array), Beatriz Montoya (COO, Simply Business), Carolina Vicente (Brand and Marketing Director, TrainLine) and digital media entrepreneur Jim Brigden as we talk about the Future of Online Shopping 🛒
In what promises to be a lively debate, we will be discussing predictions for the future of search and commerce! And I'll be giving my take on how the seismic changes in search could play out 🔍
Ahead of the event, we'd love your help in answering two questions:
Question 1: Which of the following brands do you predict will have more than 10% search market share in 2028? OpenAI/Microsoft/ Perplexity/Claude/another brand not yet known
Question 2: How much of your sales will be driven by social media and ecommerce platforms by 2028: almost all (more than 75%), the majority (more than 50%), between 25% and 50%, less than 25%.
If you are a senior marketer and want to be part of the conversation, sign up using the link below to join us for this free event on June 26th (6-8 PM) at the Simply Business offices, Hylo, 105 Bunhill Row, EC1Y, for a lively debate with brilliant speakers on the Future of Online Shopping. We'll delve into shifting online purchasing dynamics, generational differences, and whether TikTok will overtake Google for commerce. Plus, enjoy pizzas and drinks afterward! 🍕
