Patrick Altoft

Investor / advisor at LION+MASON UX Agency

Having set up the popular Blogstorm SEO blog in 2007 I joined forces with Vin Chinnaraja to setup the SEO arm of Branded3 in January 2008. We invested £2500 each and in just over 5 years grew the business to over £4m annual revenue and a sale to St Ives Plc. Branded3 has grown into a much bigger business since then and continues to work with some of the UKs largest and most exciting brands across finance, travel, gaming and retail. We are most proud of how the agency has managed the transitions required to stay competitive in the ever changing world of SEO in the last few years.

Vin & I left Branded3 in September 2015 having successfully handed over to the new management team following the sale and are now looking for new opportunities (outside of the SEO agency world) and working on a couple of startups.
