Barry Smyth’s Experience

Owner

Search Strategies - The Search Marketing Events Company

(Privately Held; Myself Only; Online Media industry)

July 2006 — Present (2 years 4 months)

Search Strategies is Australia’s only company dedicated to Search Marketing Seminars, Conferences, Education & Search Marketing Workshops.

About Search Strategies

Search Strategies was born out of the fact that there was no decent search marketing events for people wanting to educate themselves on search, this has been a soap box issue of mine for a many years now.

In fact it was at Google’s 3rd Birthday (Australian Office) party earlier this year that a few of my industry colleagues told me to stop ranting on all the time about it and do something about it, the result of that evening was Search Engine Bootcamp and Search Summit.

It is important to note that Search Strategies DO NOT sell search engine marketing or optimisation services, so don’t expect to come to an event run by us & be sold services these types of services by us at a later date.
