[listenup]

About Us

We provide Search Engine Optimisation and Marketing to a world wide client base as well as working on our own portfolio of web sites. It's our goal to get sites on the first page of the major search engines, which ultimately increase visitors resulting in more sales. Our aim is to provide our clients with the best possible service and results. We're a small firm, with only 3 people in-house. Our office is located in Soi Chidlom, 5 minutes walk from Chidlom BTS, in a serviced office with great views of the city.

Who We're Seeking

A few questions to begin with:

• Do you hate being bored?

• Do you love to try new things every day?

• Do you ever stare at a website and think, "Man, they could do this sooooo much better?"

• Have you ever wondered why sometimes terrible websites rank higher than great ones in the search engines?

• Are you ready to accept an incredible amount of personal responsibility for the success of a small business?

• Can you handle long hours when necessary, travel to strange and exotic convention centers, and test the limits of your creativity?

If you have answered yes to the above, congratulations - we like you already.

We're looking for someone to join our team, to brainstorm creative solutions to tough projects, dig in when hours of tedious research or challenging reports are called for, and occasionally even laugh at our dumb jokes. Sure, skills are important. If you've got a writing or marketing background then great. If you've heard of and even have experience in the field of SEO or search marketing, fantastic. But, more than anything, we want someone who's willing to learn, to work hard, to try new things, to advance their career, and to have a great time doing it.
