Founded in 2002, Occupancy Marketing has continued to grow as a company and our people are paramount to that. The 15-strong team at Occupancy Marketing are a dedicated bunch, passionate about helping our clients and using our internet marketing expertise to grow their online presence. A selection of the team and an overview of their respective roles is presented below.
Mark Forrester
Founder & Managing Director
Mark is the leader of the gang, and he worked in the technology sector for 12 years before setting up Occupancy Marketing. In the early days of the company Mark worked elbow-deep in SEO of clients’ sites but these days he adopts the managing director role, looking after the sales, marketing, strategic partners and positioning of the business.
Douglas Hunter
Internet Marketing Manager
What Dougie doesn’t know about Internet Marketing isn’t worth knowing. Dougie joined Occupancy Marketing back in 2004, having previously worked for lastminute.com & all-hotels.com in senior internet marketing roles.
Murdoch MacRury
Internet Marketing Manager
Murdoch started working in the SEO industry when Mark Zuckerberg was still in short trousers. Murdoch joined the company in 2005 to manage the VisitScotland account, and has gone on to form his own SEO team within the company that work on public sector projects as well as our larger hotel chain clients.
Chris McGuire
Senior Account Manager
Intelligent, witty, handsome, dangerous, like James Bond with a keyboard and a mouse... can you tell Chris wrote The Team page of the website?!
Chris joined OM in 2008, and with 7 years prior experience in web development he brings a strong technical knowledge to the team, without getting too nerdy (most of the time).
Lynne Grundison
Account Manager
Lynne joined Occupancy Marketing's account management team in March 2010. Previously Lynne worked at another leading SEO agency in Edinburgh where she specialised in analytics and reporting.
Gillian Forrester
Company Director / Secretary
Gillian is a founding partner and responsible for the HR & finance function. Without Gillian, no one gets hired, fired or paid!
