The past 2 years have been pretty amazing for Ayima - growing from a small, few-man consultancy to one of the leaders in the UK search market.

During this time, we have been working hard to develop and stabilise our processes, infrastructure and execution, which we believe are now some of the best in the world. This now means that we are ready to expand, and the logical next step for us is to move into the huge US market by opening a new office in North Carolina.

One of the key requirements for us to do this, was to find a man on the ground that was both an exceptional SEO specialist and a friend with whom which we can entrust the Ayima brand. There was only one person that we could think of that fullfilled these two criteria - Mr Tony Spencer, also known online as “notsleepy”.

I first met Tony at PubCon Las Vegas in 2004 and he has since become one of my closest friends. Tony was also the second person that I hired to join my search team at PartyGaming and was a key part of all our SEO strategies and implementation.

Tony has an exceptional standing within the SEO world and is one of the true SEO’s SEOs. Unkown to most, he is often actually the “go-to guy” for many of the more public SEO experts when they need help.

Unfortunately for all you Americans this of course means that you’ll have to put with us being in town a lot more. So you’d better stock on beers as Rob is booking his tickets already.

So again, I just want to give a very warm welcome to Tony, the newest member of the Ayima family.
