Client Testimonials
Don’t take my word for it:
I worked with Darren on creative link-building projects for lastminute.com. I found Darren not only to be hugely knowledgeable about SEO, but he also had a great news sense and the ability to spot great angles for content. As our direct account manager, he was always responsive and found solutions quickly – all you can ask as a client. Darren was a pleasure to work with on projects, that were delivered to brief, time and budget. I hope to work with Darren again in the future.

Unrivalled digital pr and link building expertise. Darren delivered numerous creative campaigns for me over the course of a year, each exceeding expectations and gaining us links and placements in some of the biggest and most relevant publications. He was also able to pivot focus and adapt the campaigns to focus on other areas of our site where we really needed help. All of this was crucial in us increasing organic revenue by over £2m in the year we worked together.
