Bio
My name is Steven Holmes and I was born and brought up in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. My family are originally from Newcastle Upon Tyne, one of the UK's finest cities.
I am a marketing graduate and have always worked in and around marketing in one capacity or another. I was involved in offline marketing, product development and product management for the first 5 years of my career before making the transition into digital marketing.
My first love in digital was Search Engine Optimisation and I have been lucky enough to manage campaigns for some of the UK's biggest retailers, enjoying a huge amount of success along the way.
I moved away from working in agencies in 2010 years ago, choosing to put my knowledge and skills to use in in-house ecommerce management and digital marketing roles instead, a challenge that I enjoyed immensely (despite missing the buzz and variety of agency environments from time to time).
In July 2014 I made the decision to go freelance to allow me more time to spend with my family and work on some of my own projects. The latter has been a struggle so far due to being so busy with client work but I love what I do so you won't hear any complaints from me.
