MEDIAWORKS SUCCESS ATTRACTS EMINENT NON EXEC DIRECTOR
7th December 2007
In the first four months of launching his Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) business, Mediaworks. Talented Northumbria University graduate entrepreneur, Brett Jacobson is celebrating a double whammy of good news. Firstly, he bust his business targets and secondly, he welcomed eminent local businessman and entrepreneur, Chris Thompson to his company board.
Boasting impressive market placement as being one of the only companies outside of London, 100% dedicated to Search Engine Marketing and Search Engine Optimisation – the process of ranking a website as high as possible when a certain term or key phrase is searched in Google/MSN/YAHOO - Mediaworks, works with medium sized online companies to increase their online presence, ultimately leading to more sales, leads and enquiries through boosting their internet presence.
A beautifully simple business idea, websites which appear on the first results page are considered to be trusted by users and receive the majority of hits. The higher the company ranks, the more likely it is to attract the searchers’ attention and once a website is ranking well for related keywords, there are no advertising costs as all of the clicks are essentially free.
Confident in his businesses model, Brett approached, Chris Thompson, who has a wide network of contacts, backed by significant commercial acumen as owner or founder of over 40 new enterprises and has several international joint ventures to his credit.
To prove his business concept to Chris, Brett excelled himself by increasing the internet rankings of Chris’s company, Omega Plastics (Rapid Tooling company), by 600% in just under three months as well as raising the daily visits to the site by 124%. As a result of this activity, Omega Plastics also saved over £45,000 on sales overheads.
Having only launched the business in August this year, Brett has already exceeded his self set targets for 2007, which leaves him well on the way to expanding his current growing SEO client base.
Brett, said:
“I’m thoroughly enjoying running my own business as it has allowed me the freedom to put my own ideas into practice and I find it very rewarding when businesses improve due to Mediaworks’ help.
“It’s a very exciting time for me, with Chris coming on board and Mediaworks surpassing its financial targets in such a short amount of time. He is such an inspiration to me by providing great advice and opening many doors for the business to grow.
“Having just taken 1000 sq ft of office space at Hoults Estate which can accommodate up to 14 employees, I’m confident that my company can continue to rapidly grow throughout 2008.
Chris, said:
“I’m proud to join the Mediaworks team and have been very impressed at what Brett has achieved so far. He has huge potential for growth in the future year with already beating his targets for the year in only four months and I very much look forward to seeing his company develop.”
Looking ahead, Brett’s hopes for Mediaworks will hopefully see it dominating the north east SEO market and becoming a major player in the UK national and international search engine marketing industry.
