About Me
Justin formed Make It Rain in 2008. Backed by private equity funding, he created a leading-edge search and social agency that is focused on continually pushing the boundaries on what can be achieved in search and social media to deliver best-of-breed campaigns. Fuelled by the success of London, Make It Rain has recently expanded to a new office in Los Angeles, to service US campaigns from both local and international clients.
Justin has considerable commercial expertise in growing successful online agencies. Prior to launching Make It Rain, Justin was instrumental in developing the London business for Latitude, which became the largest and most successful independent search agency in Europe. At Make It Rain, in addition to building the business portfolio, Justin specialises in developing advanced online business strategies to generate high-performance results across PPC, SEO and social media, and driving online brand value.
Justin has over 15 years’ experience in digital marketing with a specific focus on search and social media. He has previously held senior positions in-house at Best Western, the world’s largest hotel chain, and agency-side with leading agencies Tequila, TBWA and Latitude. Justin’s client campaigns cover UK and global briefs for brands including David Lloyd, Boden, totaljobs, Alliance & Leicester, Betfair, HSBC and British Red Cross.
His focus at Make It Rain is specifically directed towards delivering excellent client service and business strategy that delivers results across PPC, SEO and social media.
