Chris Simmons

Chris is our On-Page SEO specialist, and has lived and breathed SEO for pretty much his entire career; he came out of university to train as a journalist (he wanted to be the next Jeremy Clarkson). This means he has a passion for writing, content, UX, technical and on-page SEO. 

Having steadily grown his knowledge of SEO from content creation all the way to more technical aspects such as writing schema, HTML and basic CSS, Chris can turn his hand to anything at 427. Chris has worked in a number of different industries, making the way he can adapt to the needs of our clients, who span a whole range of sectors, second to none. 

Chris’ special skills 

• Crafting killer page briefs that ensure we write well-optimised content that is genuinely helpful to the user
• Keeping his finger on the pulse of SEO, and keeping us all up to date on the latest news 
• Following up on our work, highlighting positive results, and heaping praise on the team members responsible
• Sharing the cutest photos of his dogs as a team pick-me-up

Outside of 427, Chris is a massive Formula 1, Rugby Union and basketball fan; his favourite teams are Mercedes AMG Petronas, Toulon, and the Orlando Magic. Like the rest of us, he’s a huge animal lover, and is the proud dog-Dad of two gorgeous labradors. When he’s not watching them zoom around at Mach 5, he can often be found picking up moderately heavy items at the gym.
