Digital Marketing Strategist London

Businesses searching for a Digital Marketing Strategist London can work with Alex Costin to connect every part of their digital growth plan. Alex combines more than 17 years of hands-on experience in SEO, website development, market research, content, PPC, social media, email marketing, analytics, marketing automation and conversion rate optimisation.

Many businesses invest in separate marketing activities without a clear connection between them. A website may attract traffic but generate few enquiries, paid advertising may produce clicks without profitable sales, and social media may create attention without measurable results. Alex develops coordinated strategies that bring these channels together around clear commercial objectives.

Strategy based on business objectives

Effective digital marketing begins with understanding the business. Alex meets business owners, records their goals, researches the market and competitors, and creates detailed marketing plans. This process ensures that recommendations are linked to real priorities such as lead generation, ecommerce sales, brand awareness, market expansion or lower customer acquisition costs.

His CV describes him as a market, customer and competitor research analyst who studies market opportunities, customer behaviour trends and competitor strengths and weaknesses. He sorts research findings by importance and feeds relevant information back to decision-makers, helping businesses focus on insights that can influence practical action.

A strategy may include customer research, competitor analysis, positioning, channel selection, content planning, technical improvements, campaign management and performance reporting. The exact combination depends on the market, the customer journey, available resources and the organisation’s growth targets.

Research that reveals opportunities

Market intelligence helps businesses identify where demand exists and how competitors are attracting customers. Alex analyses customer habits, aspirations, attitudes, search behaviour and buying decisions. He also uses primary sources such as surveys and interviews alongside secondary data from reports and databases, according to his website.

This research can uncover market gaps, underserved segments, pricing opportunities and customer concerns that competitors are not addressing. It can also inform website messaging, advertising copy, content subjects, social media campaigns and email sequences.

Alex has experience working across English, Italian, Spanish and French markets, with wider international campaign experience involving additional languages and regions. This is valuable for London businesses that want to attract local customers while also expanding across the UK, Europe or global markets.

SEO that supports long-term growth

Alex has more than 17 years of SEO experience, including technical audits, content strategy, on-page optimisation and off-page authority building. His goal is to increase relevant organic visibility while ensuring that search traffic supports real business outcomes.

Technical SEO can address website structure, crawlability, internal links, page speed, mobile performance, metadata, redirects and content organisation. Alex’s web development skills include HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, WordPress, Drupal, Bootstrap and custom CMS solutions, allowing him to connect SEO recommendations with practical implementation.

His website reports more than 2,000 first-page Google keywords, over 100 successful projects, more than 60 successful websites and experience across 10 worldwide markets. These figures demonstrate the breadth of his work, while results for each business depend on its starting position, competitors, industry and implementation.

Content that attracts and converts

Alex has more than 15 years of experience developing content strategies and creating content for websites, blogs, newsletters, leaflets and social media. He builds content around audience needs and business goals rather than producing material simply to increase the number of pages on a website.

Content may include service pages, product pages, landing pages, blog posts, guides, case studies, email campaigns and social media assets. Each format can support a different stage of the customer journey. Educational content attracts people researching a problem, while commercial pages help prospects compare options and take action.

Alex also has experience in graphic design, photography and video editing. He has created branding, brochures, infographics, ecommerce photography, studio photography and social media visuals. This creative range helps businesses present a consistent brand across websites, advertising, email and social platforms.

PPC campaigns focused on ROI

Alex has more than 12 years of SEM experience and professional expertise in Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising. He can plan, audit and optimise paid campaigns across search, shopping, display, video and mobile advertising.

Effective PPC requires more than selecting high-volume keywords. Alex reviews customer intent, targeting, advert quality, landing page relevance, conversion tracking and campaign structure. His CV describes strategies that improved ad quality and reduced costs to as little as 90% of competitors’ average cost per click in suitable circumstances.

His wider website and conversion expertise supports better paid traffic performance. Fast, relevant landing pages can improve the experience after the click, while accurate analytics can show whether campaigns produce qualified leads, purchases or revenue rather than activity alone.

Websites designed for performance

A business website is the central platform for many digital marketing campaigns. Alex creates fast, responsive and SEO-optimised websites designed around user needs and commercial objectives. His website promotes pages designed to achieve 100/100 PageSpeed scores and describes full-stack development using modern front-end and content management technologies.

A successful website should communicate its value quickly, work well on mobile devices and make the next action clear. Alex can improve navigation, forms, calls to action, page structure, trust signals and landing page relevance to help convert more visitors.

His website describes conversion rate increases of over 137% through systematic A/B testing and funnel optimisation. Results vary between projects, but testing helps identify which headlines, layouts, offers and calls to action produce stronger commercial outcomes.

Social media and email marketing

Alex manages social media and creates campaigns designed to increase engagement, audience growth and measurable results. His CV states that he has access to networks exceeding 50,000 Twitter followers and 1,000,000 Facebook fans. He has also managed influencer networks and set up paid advertising campaigns.

His email marketing expertise includes building segmented funnels, writing campaign content, automating follow-up and tracking performance. Email can nurture prospects, recover opportunities, support customer retention and generate repeat purchases when messages are relevant to the recipient’s stage in the customer journey.

Social media and email become more valuable when connected to landing pages, analytics and marketing automation. A campaign can attract an audience, collect a lead, trigger a relevant sequence and provide data that improves future marketing decisions.

Analytics and marketing automation

Alex is a certified performance specialist who monitors Google Marketing Platform, Microsoft Advertising and Adobe Experience Cloud performance. He provides stakeholders with insights and growth suggestions, using analytical thinking to identify opportunities and pinpoint problems.

Reporting may examine traffic, rankings, campaign costs, engagement, conversion rates, lead quality, revenue and return on advertising spend. The most important metrics depend on the business model, but they should connect marketing activity with meaningful outcomes.

Alex also designs automation systems that streamline workflows, nurture leads and reduce manual work. Automated processes can handle form confirmations, lead notifications, email sequences, customer onboarding and follow-up while allowing teams to focus on higher-value tasks.
