Ned is well-known within digital marketing circles as being one of those rarities - someone who actually knows what they're doing. He's a genuinely nice guy whom I've recommended, without reservation, for a number of roles in the past, and would do so again for anyone looking for a senior level results-focused digital marketer.

Unlike many SEOs, Ned has strong people skills, and is a compelling presenter of what he does.

He is great with clients and can be counted on to deliver. I would not hesitate to recommend Ned.
Nic Ray – CMO @ Mirum Africa -
Ned is not only knowledgable about cutting edge digital optimisation strategies, he understands their role in the broader marketing mix and is able to unlock the potential of digital techniques to support and augment more traditional media activities. There's no jargon, no smoke and mirrors and no waffle - just genuine insight with a strong understanding of delivery and the results you can achieve - meaning you don't need to be a technical genius to understand where he's coming from. On top of all that, Ned's a great bloke and knows his beer, which is always a plus.
Alex Myers – Founder & CEO @ Manifest Group -
I had the great pleasure of working along side Ned in the miinto.dk-marketing unit. As Ned in my world is one of the absolute leading capacities within SEO and digital marketing as a whole it was a delight to work with him and experience him in action and consequently see the great results created. Not only was he himself able to be 'hands on' and execute upon his ideas and vast knowledge within digital marketing but his managerial capabilities meant that the team which he led was also constantly high performing. Hopefully, I will get the opportunity to work with Ned again.
