Ben is an invaluable asset to the Hallam Internet team and deserves to be recognised for his hard work and extremely high level of skill in digital marketing. Ben has been working at Hallam Internet for just over two years and during that time has been promoted twice, now holding a managerial position and having a team of six reporting to him.
As a manager, he is exceptional. He has introduced new initiatives to support his growing team, which includes experienced and less experienced digital marketers. He has started a daily ‘huddle’ to ensure everyone has the opportunity to voice any concerns and share with the team what they’re doing that day. He regularly meets one-to-one with his team to track their progress and ensure they are thriving in their roles. He is an advocate of managing by walking around, being sure to walk around the office regularly so everyone feels supported by him.
On top of managing a team, Ben also manages a portfolio of clients to whom he provides digital marketing services to help their businesses to thrive online. These services including SEO, PPC and international marketing, and his clients consistently report business growth and very positive impacts from Ben’s work.
It’s sometimes easy to forget that Ben has only been with the company for 2 years as his impact is truly invaluable. He is an integral part of the team and a contributor to the strategy of the business too. His dedication to his role, his passion for his work and his excellent results highlight him as a star of the future; a rising star indeed.
Nominated by Laura Hampton, the digital marketing manager at Hallam Internet
