Colin will join Tamar’s management team and report directly to Tamar’s CEO, Tanya Goodin.
Tamar (tamar.com) has also made three additional hires to strengthen its Search and Commercial teams. Philip Cross joins from Steak Digital and will take up the position of Senior Search Campaign Manager and Grant Baxter joins the team as Search Campaign Manager from Adfero, focusing on content strategies. Ruth Zohrer will add to Tamar’s growing Commercial team, as Business Development Manager, and will focus on developing existing and new verticals in the agency’s target sectors.
Colin, who has 14 years’ experience in the public, NGO and commercial sectors, has previously worked for Tesco and the office of the e-Envoy. He will focus on building Tamar’s Insight and Analytics services, which strengthen clients’ digital marketing strategies by deploying a range of research and analytics tools, backed by strategic consultancy.
The Insight and Analytics team under Colin combines in-depth market analysis and bespoke research reports with forensic study of business sectors, products and channels to identify openings, threats and trends that drive digital strategy. This, in turn, arms clients with the knowledge to pinpoint critical opportunities and develop new business focuses.
Colin co-founded Guru Web Consultancy in 2003, providing usability, content, PPC/SEO and analytics strategy for a wide range of clients, managing the company until he joined Tamar, where his expertise will further strengthen the agency’s successful delivery of campaigns that focus on conversion.
Neil Jackson, Search Strategy Director at Tamar commented: “Vision and ideas have fuelled our continued growth and I’m looking forward to working with Colin on long-term client projects in the coming years as we continue Tamar’s expansion.”
Tanya Goodin, CEO at Tamar, commented: “At Tamar we understand the importance of insight and analytics to develop and measure conversion-based digital campaigns. We needed someone with the vision, experience and track record of delivering insightful strategies across a range of industry sectors to lead our team. Colin answered this remit perfectly, and he’s already made his mark on the agency and our campaigns across the board.
“The Tamar team is expanding rapidly, but we have high standards when it comes to recruitment, as we know from client feedback that our people are one of the key reasons that clients choose us.”
Colin Smith, Associate Director: Insight & Analytics, Tamar, added: “Having been part of the founding team at my own web consultancy for more than six years, I know what it takes to succeed in this space, and Tamar has it in spades. This role allows me to bring my skills to bear across the board, while maintaining the strategic and team management focus that I so enjoy. I truly believe Tamar has a unique vision and track record in the agency sector and this role is one of the only opportunities that would have encouraged me to step away from my own business.”
