Studying micro and macroeconomics to an advanced level, James is interested in how businesses function in markets from a regional to a global scale. He moved into SEO after travelling in a campervan, having met an SEO freelancer working by a lake in the mountains. No lakes or mountains, but 4 years later, James is Head of Technical SEO here at Dark Horse. Having worked his way up from a junior SEO executive and through 3 different digital agencies. Was a daft idea anyway and besides, bet the internet connection is dreadful.
