My Work & Professional Experience

As a professional contractor for some of the largest agencies in the UK, I have to sign a lot of non-disclosure agreements. This means I can't be as transparent as I like with the clients I work with. In 2022, I was able to work with 14 of the top 150 retail brands in the UK, in some capacity or another - along with a strong portfolio of direct clients, which some are shown below.

"One of the best in the business when it comes to SEO and Paid Advertisements."

Some of my SEO/PPC clients and their feedback

Below are some brands I’ve been privileged to call clients – accompanying some of their logos are some of the kind words I’ve received from them too.

“We just gotta take a moment to give major props to Shane Parkins. This guy has been working his magic on our SEO and PPC campaigns at Runrug, and let me tell you – he’s been nothing short of a game-changer!

Straight out the gate, Shane got the hang of what we’re all about. He spotted the hurdles we were facing and, quicker than you can say “digital marketing”, put together an SEO and PPC strategy that was just spot on. We saw his genius unfolding real quick, driving big-time results for our business in the UK and the US.

But Shane’s not just a tech whizz. He’s got this incredible knack for breaking down the geeky stuff, making sure the whole team gets the picture. We’re all on the same page, speaking the same language, and it’s largely thanks to him. In the short time we’ve been lucky enough to work with him, Shane’s done wonders for Runrug’s online presence and profits. If you’re looking for someone who knows the ins and outs of SEO and PPC, and can seriously move the needle for your business – Shane’s your man.

Kudos to Shane for the elite-level support, guidance, and the massive value he’s brought to Runrug. Here’s to even more success on the horizon!” Paul, Director, RunRug.

90% of my clients find me via Google - my business is built on the very service I do on behalf of my clients.

A little more about me

For those of you who aren’t bored at this stage, here is a little more information about me; mainly around outside of work.

I love nothing more than seeing ‘green shoots’ on reports, it’s an absolute labour of love when it comes to SEO and Ads. Outside of work you can find me hiking a great deal, if ever you are passing Roseberry Topping on a Friday evening, you’ll likely find me up there – feel free to tag along.

I’m from a little village outside of Durham – a father of one, owner of a Golden Doodle and absolutely love my job.

I’ve also recently picked up a new position as Managing Director for Climb and Conquer, a subset agency we created due to the growth of this freelancer business.
