Brian Fitzgerald’s Summary

I assumed the role of Search Engine Optimization Director at TIG Global in June 2008 with the responsibility of driving client results in the natural/organic results of the major search engines. In this emerging role I lead the overall SEO strategy and provide direction and points-of-view on industry landscape changes and search engine trends. I specialize in analyzing and diagnosing sites with SEO related difficulties and work hands on to assist with repairs and enhancements to improve rankings. I act as the resident expert in monitoring SEO industry news, blogs, and forums and I work to identify emerging SEO trends and implement beta-testing and documentation. My role can be summarized as serving as the direct contact and point person within TIG Global for all SEO related issues, questions, projects and initiatives.

Prior to joining TIG Global I was a web developer for braingem for a short period of time and assumed several roles at Marriott International, including Systems Manager, eCommerce Manager and Senior Manager of eCommerce Field Strategy. All of this experience has help me develop advanced project management and leadership skills, hands-on experience in developing successful Internet marketing campaigns and master the art and science of SEO.
