Darren Jamieson’s Summary
An experienced SEO, web developer, designer and web marketer; with over ten years in the industry I have worked on some very high profile websites and achieved excellent results. Having worked in both an agency, and an in-house environment I am used to the fast flow of tight deadlines as well as the fine tuning of one specific website. I have a keen interest in new and developing technologies and closely monitor the changes in Search Engine technology. I have client-facing experience and am comfortable working on high profile projects with rigid brand guidelines for clients such as the Environment Agency, Sony, Manchester United, the NHS and Metrodome Distribution.
I have also made several television appearances on various light entertainment programs, including ‘Greatest 80’s TV Moments’.
