R&Co appoints SEO account manager

West Midlands communications agency R&Co Communications has expanded its SEO team with the appointment of Tom Hall as SEO account manager following a series of client wins and renewals.

Tom brings four years’ specialist SEO experience gained at full-service agencies in Birmingham and Manchester.

Having recently relocated to Warwickshire, where he grew up, he will report to R&Co’s SEO lead and account director Jack Stocking.

In his new role, Tom will focus on technical SEO and on-page optimisation across a portfolio of clients spanning healthcare, education, charity and supply chain services.

Tom said: “I really enjoy looking at clients with a fresh pair of eyes and identifying quick wins from the get-go.

“My favourite part of the role is getting access to a client’s website and building out plans to take it forward.

“I had a good feeling from the outset talking to the team at R&Co, and I’m looking forward to being part of a team again.

“My last job was a remote role, so it’s good to be back in the office.

“I’m looking forward to working with Jack – I’m excited by his approach to SEO and where he wants to take it at the agency.”

Tom’s appointment follows a period of sustained growth for R&Co, which operates from Leamington Spa and Birmingham and has won industry awards in each of the past three years.

Formerly known as Newsline PR, the agency has grown from four to ten full-time employees, with its team bringing together experience across journalism, PR, SEO and social media.

Managing director Peter Robinson added: “SEO has become an area of significant growth within our agency and forms part of our strategy to offer a genuine full-service approach to our clients.

“Tom’s appointment comes at a time when clients – both new and existing – have a growing need for SEO, and his skillset will complement the expert team we are building here.”
