James Sandford

Account Director

I'm James and despite my youthful looks, I'm one of the oldest members of the rocket! I started out working in the Media industry back in 1999. First off was a stint working in TV - I managed airtime for some big brands including McDonalds, Kellogg's, NatWest, Whitbread and many more across the ITV network.

My move into online started when I took on a role helping to promote the need for standards in digital advertising at ABC Electronic, creating a common currency to aid the buying and selling of online ad space. Since then, I've been more heavily involved in website analytics when I was Senior account manager at Nedstat working with great clients like PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Thomas Cook and Handbag.com. In 2005, I left the online world and went around the World for a year. When I came back I moved to the seaside and there was only one place I was going to end up!

Why Propellernet?

I'd met Jack while working at Nedstat and so I knew all about his plan to take search to the next level. I was always intrigued and very keen to learn more about search. When I knew there was an opening shortly after I returned to the UK, I grabbed the opportunity and have now been working here for nearly three years. It's a great environment to work, everyone loves a challenge and we strive to be the best search agency on the planet.
