From a pub idea to a thriving business – a North East success story
October 20, 2011 in Features
Many of the best ideas are said to have originated over a pint.
About four years ago in a Newcastle city centre pub a 21-year-old graduate fresh out of university met a local entrepreneur by chance.
That graduate was called Brett Jacobson, who today runs Mediaworks, a successful search engine company with over 30 employees. And the growth just doesn’t seem to stop.
Mediaworks’ strategic and analytical SEO has recently earned them several big global account wins such as Viking Direct, Regus and Alfred Dunhill.
“At the moment we are at advanced stages with several similar global businesses so in the next six months we will boast a portfolio of which any agency would be envious.”
According to the statistics site Worldometers, nearly 2 billion Google searches are made each day. That’s about the same amount that there are internet users in the world.
Google’s “suggest” function has led to the search giant being found guilty of defamation in France.
