Hi,
So you want to know about the person behind the blog?
It is Bill Hunt – a very opinionated member of the digital marketing community.
My Free time:
I am very passionate about underwater photography and SCUBA diving. I have been fortunate to dive into some of the best dive sites worldwide.
I love to explore and learn about new places visiting over 100 countries. With my previous global role and a thirst for global exploration, I tend to get around. Before covid with my international consulting projects, I averaged 250,000 to 300,000 flight miles a year, hitting 15 to 25 countries yearly. This resulted in millions of air miles and hotel points I use for family vacations.
My Job:
I am the President of Back Azimuth Consulting and Hreflang Builder, working with clients to grow their businesses internationally.
Previously I had a dual role as CEO of Global Strategies International and Director of Global Search Strategy for Ogilvy. As CEO, I was responsible for developing and executing GSI’s corporate strategy and global expansion while ensuring stellar results and client satisfaction for all clients. As the Global Search Strategist for Ogilvy, I was responsible for Ogilvy’s Search Marketing thought leadership and for developing global search marketing strategic roadmaps integrated into Ogilvy’s 360 Integrated Communications programs.
I write:
I am the co-author of the best-selling book “Search Engine Marketing, Inc.” Driving Traffic to Your Companies Web Site from IBM Press, now in it’s 3rd Edition. I also have also written about global search marketing in Search Engine Land and Search Engine Watch.
