About Us
An Essex boy from Brentwood, Sam first had access to the internet at secondary school and hasn't looked away from his Mac since.
After school, Sam took an apprenticeship in business administration and IT at a computer software house. "I got a good overview of the different areas of IT, such as project management, programming and IT support, but the one area that actually interested me was design" so he started learning HTML, CSS and how to build sites in his spare time.
It was a natural move from there to a web design company, where Sam learned about search engines and how to appear in their result sets. He also started to give lessons to colleagues on search engines and SEO, soon applying these principles to their clients' websites.
Sam then went on to work for a NMA Top 100 agency, managing PPC, SEO, affiliate and email marketing campaigns for a number of large clients. It was also there that he met Carl, who soon moved on to join Ayima, "Carl was always raving on about Ayima, so I thought I'd like to join too."
Sam says: "Ayima has an informal and refreshing environment. It's great to work alongside such an experienced, dedicated team who are technically switched on and who have access to data that really gives our clients the edge."
