We recently used Rob for an intensive 5 day digital marketing course. I’m really excited about the marketing ideas we have to run with and the energy and excitement in my team now. We now have a clear system with an understanding of the marketing opportunities out there now, how we can put them into practice and track our progress. Rob is very very knowledgeable and forthcoming with expertise, really diligent in ensuring we got value for money in the time we had.
David TuckRob’s technical know-how and experience have proved invaluable in the development of our IT systems and marketing strategies. His ability to make ideas into reality has resulted in massive improvements to efficiency in all areas of the business. Excellent communication skills mean he is able to handle multiple tasks whilst working effectively with co-workers of all abilities and skill sets. His enthusiasm, inventiveness and persistence have made a massive contribution in driving our business forward in the last two years.
Darren DrayIn the field of conversion rate optimisation, they don’t come much better than Rob. He approaches the conversion funnel with complete objectivity and has a rare combination of creativity and a highly forensic analytical method. More broadly, he’s a great digital marketer that leads very effective SEO and PPC campaigns, and a good guy to work with. Highly recommended.
John ColdicuttRob has a great personality with sound e-commerce as well as SEO knowledge. He listens to, as well as provides solutions/suggestions in order to grow the business. He has a great relationship with me on both personal and professional fronts and I enjoy working with him.
Santosh ChandratreRob’s native intelligence for IT and marketing is among the best I have seen. He has the drive and energy necessary to see complex projects through to completion, guiding teams through the entire lifecycle process, on time and within budget. He is both a team player and a dynamic leader, a professional who wins the respect of others through his integrity and unwavering desire to bring out the best in his teams. My team thoroughly enjoys working with him
Ankur AgarwalRob has absolutely sky-rocketed trials for KashFlow over the last 2 years. He’s a highly competent, professional, with an analytical approach, Rob is constantly delivering new and innovative ways to get the message out to his target audience which coupled with some interesting conversation optimisation techniques has yielded real results in terms of subscriber growth.
Alex HoulbrookRob Holmes is a fantastic manager his influence and guidance will leave me in good stead for years to come.
It’s no secret I took my role because of him. His knowledge in all aspects of this industry is second to none.
My biggest complement to Rob is he’s a visionary – his idea’s and forethought are still used and will be used for many years ahead.
If the sign of a good manager is leaving a place in a better condition than beforehand. Then I can only assume a great manager transforms a company to compete against the best in the industry.
I really enjoyed my time working with Rob.
Rob is a consummate professional in his field, someone who can be trusted completely, and who is generous with help and advice.
Steve MenearI have worked with Rob, consulting on a Test &Target Optimization project, and have been impressed by his attitude right from day one. Rob is focused on his goals but understands that testing is an iterative process where the research question and hypothesis evolve over time. Rob is clearly excited by the world of AB, MVT and Behavioural Targeting and is prepared to be brave (yet calculated) in his testing roadmap in order to improve the experience for visitors and improve on key success metrics. This enthusiastic approach combined with his expertise in SEM and SEO (amongst other things) puts him right up there on my list of great people to work with.
Craig TaylorI worked closely with Rob during my time of acquiring, growing and then selling UK Business Forums. During this time Rob was both an excellent sounding board as well as trustworthy and supportive person to have onboard.
Richard OsbourneRob’s skills and experience were immediately felt within the business, with his opinions, strategy and expertise heavily influencing management and leading to near-immediate positive results.
Rob established a digital team from scratch and grew them into a highly performing and highly motivated team within a short space of time.
With his continuous input the business proceeded to continuously exceed all targets and expectations without fail. Rob’s impact to the business produced over 300% growth in customers in less than 2 years.
In addition to his outstanding digital marketing skills, he is also an extremely able communicator with tremendous interpersonal skills.
Steven HammondRob was a very successful Head of Digital Marketing at IRIS/KashFlow, who would be an invaluable asset to any business in the same or a similar role. We had similar goals and targets and without Rob’s experience and management of conversion rate optimisation, these goals may not have been met and exceeded. Rob built strong relationships throughout the business and he built a very strong metric driven team.
I would highly recommend Rob and believe his unique combination of people skills and the ability to drive targets make him an asset to any business
Rob is committed from the outset. Every idea is clearly laid out and he is fully committed throughout the lifecycle of the project. The combination of his technical abilities and his marketing skills makes every project a success and also a delight to work with.
Jamie ProvanRob and I have worked on a number of commercial projects for around 11 years and I can honestly say that in that time I have found him to be a very enjoyable and rewarding person to deal with.
He has an enthusiasm and an appetite for success that I’ve rarely come across and this, tied to his attention to detail, his ability and passion to understand user intention and psychology and then, to balance these out with Seo programming needs, is quite remarkable.
On all our projects he has has been nothing but professional and his
passion for web visitors, figures, data crunching and statistical relevance ensures every project is professional, relevant and exciting.
