Filter CTO, Paul Halfpenny, and the company’s new Head of Business Development, Si Cooke, will be making their way to Brighton later in the week to attend BrightonSEO.

The event was created by Kelvin Newman, as a place for people in the SEO industry to meet and hear other industry professionals speak on interesting topics.

People from over 100 countries travel to the event for training workshops, fringe conferences, networking and to support the speakers involved.

We asked both Paul and Si to select a few speakers they’re looking forward to hearing from:

Content prioritisation: approaching infinite opportunities with finite resources

Sam Colebrook of iCrossing UK will be discussing the big question “what content should we create?” and how to focus on the right ideas to drive measurable value.

The ultimate SEO maturity audit

Grace Frohlich of Brainlabs Digital is going to talk through a 6-step-process for conducting a maturity audit on your website.

Tech SEO for the omni channel

Crystal Carter of Wix will be speaking on how to set the right priorities, follow data and add value to every channel using tech SEO.

On-page optimization lessons from analyzing over 400 blog posts

Chima Mmeje of Zenith Copy will be giving a talk on the common mistakes that can cause content to fail and how to avoid them.

The power of brand

Rona Leslie of Yard Digital will be discussing the power of brand-building and the effectiveness formula.

If you’re attending BrightonSEO and would like to set up a meeting with Paul or Si, please make sure to get in touch via our website or via the BrightonSEO app.

You can also connect with Paul Halfpenny or Si Cooke on LinkedIn to hear more from them day to day. Alternatively, you can follow our company page here.
