About Matt

This blog is my outlet to write about things I love. Developing a number of successful Facebook games introduced me to start-up life, and I've since moved onto freelance as an SEO consultant before co-founding Aira, a digital agency based in Milton Keynes.

I'm also a frequent speaker in the SEO / Digital Marketing industry, which started because I hate networking and needed to find a way to get people to come and talk to me.

The site is constantly evolving, with posts appearing and disappearing, but if you'd like to reach out feel free to get in touch on LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook.

Remember, if you're looking for an SEO Consultant, digital marketing expert or digital strategist... or just fancy a chat... please feel free to get in touch - I'd love to hear from you! I cover Milton Keynes, Northampton, and surrounding areas.
