About Me
I’m Chris Ailey, the Managing Director of iThinkMedia.
iThinkMedia offer SEO, PPC, Social Media, Buzz Monitoring and Online PR services. We work with industry leading retailers and service providers including the Mothercare Group and National Express.
I formed iThinkMedia in 2008 after leaving my position of Search Marketing Manager at DSGi PLC (Dixons, PC World, Currys etc). This role gave me a great platform to start a Search Marketing agency as I gained great experience working closely with Google UK on Beta products and built a great network of senior professionals.
I also brought PPC and SEO in-house from an external Search Agency. Forming, training and managing a Search Team at PC World that recorded an ROI of 80:1 in 2007/08 from SEO and PPC remains one of my greatest career achievements.
In an industry where it is so important to trust your suppliers I am proud of the client list we have achieved through reputation and recommendations from fellow industry professionals.
iThinkMedia’s ethos will always be:
· Focus on providing a quality service not profit
· Implement SEO recommendations onto client websites ourselves
· Educate clients and provide transparency of work at all times
· Provide a service that I would want to receive from my experience working client-side
I can offer PPC consulting to clients including agency management, budget phasing and strategy advice. This is a great option for clients that are in the process of either sourcing a Search Manager or do not have the expertise in-house to get the most from their PPC agency.
I also offer Search Marketing consultancy services in general to help senior professionals maximise their team or agency’s performance in this marketing channel. Feel free to contact me if you’d like to discuss how I can potentially help you.
