On the appointment, Brigden said, “I looked […]
In case you haven’t heard, Google has decided to ignore function words and word order for exact match keywords.
If you just want to know how to fix this travesty, then scroll to the stopgap solution section where I’m sharing a script from Brainlabs (my employer) which will automatically add so-called “close variants” as negative keywords. Yippee! If you also want […]

Award-winning digital agency? … Double-check.
Smart, smoothie-loving potential new recruits? TBC.

Resident baking expert Zach led a crack team of intrepid sugar elves, with a kitchen management style akin […]
Harry Potter… David Beckham… One Direction…

From uncertain and tempestuous beginnings, quite literally in the form of a massive cloudburst, was born an unforgettable and, importantly, sun-blessed party. Clients, Brainboxes, and friends enjoyed a plethora of activities including a bouncy castle, sumo suits, musical and magical entertainment, all alongside some fairly questionable facepaint. […]
