Bio
Jeremy McDonald
Having worked with Harry very closely for the last two years in iProspect I cannot speak more highly of his understanding, approach, knowledge and ability to resolve the most complicated of client problems or challenges. He has astounded me with his considerable knowledge of both the technical and creative sides of SEO. Always modest in his own skills I've been amazed by his work and side projects he delivers consistently. From creating tools from scratch, delivering the data analysis of research papers through creating web app at home I am regularly surprised by his ability and he has become a trusted resource to lean upon. Harry's core strengths lie in his unique ability to comprehend, communicate and resolve the most difficult of technical & creative problems. He has a unique approach to SEO and understands how to demonstrate, present and sell this directly into client or internal teams.
