My primary role was managing all digital marketing initiatives and ensuring that all paid and unpaid traffic sources were bringing ROI. I developed a comprehensive search engine compliance strategy along with a sophisticated content marketing and production workflow that complemented dedicated Adwords and Facebook landing pages by location and course. The content marketing strategy focussed on supporting the buying intention of the prospect, as well as providing valuable and informative content that drove brand awareness over the longer term in accordance with business outcomes.

As a Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) and SEO specialist, I was responsible for troubleshooting problems with website landing page usability and devising A/B split tests to solve these problems. I created a course landing page variation which performed 220% better than the original version. I also increased the growth of website traffic by 30% by removing duplicate content with 301 redirects and use of the canonical tag along with other technical SEO methods.

I also created valuable BDM content instruments for the CPD and Recruitment sections of the website.

I saw a number of people gain full-time work as a result of the experience they gained while working with me.
