Tim Barlow’s Experience

Managing Director

Attacat

(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Marketing and Advertising industry)

January 2004 — Present (5 years 1 month)

Attacat is a Qualified Google Advertising Agency with a track record of increasing turnover from our clients’ campaigns by an average of 96% within the first two months. The company focuses entirely on pay-per-click search engine advertising services such as Yahoo! Search Marketing and Google AdWords.

The brand, Attacat, first emerged in early 2004. It evolved out of the search engine marketing consulting I had been doing prior to that. The company now employs six people, all of whom are Qualified Google Advertising Professionals.

We particularly enjoy working with emerging companies who need budgets to be tightly controlled and utilized with maximum effectiveness. This includes existing Google advertisers who could be making more of their campaigns.
Managing Director

Pastures New

(Privately Held; Myself Only; Online Media industry)

March 2000 — Present (8 years 11 months)

I set up the company in March 2000. www.pastures-new.co.uk was launched in January 2001 intially targeted as a rental portal for students. This has since expanded to cover all residential letting throughout the UK.

Having employed people in the past on this project, I have since outsourced almost all the work required to keep the site running. This allows me to work full time within Attacat.

This is the company where I really learnt the search engine marketing trade and lead to the approaches that subsequently led to Attacat emerging in 2004.
