About

Brand and digital marketing leader, SEO expert and web developer

I’m Jalal Shamim. I started at agencies in London in 2010 and have spent 15 years building websites, ranking them and running the marketing that fills them with customers, for businesses around the world.

My story

Strategy and code, from the same person

My career began in Greater London in 2010, working as a web and digital marketer for Socially Geared, Tmak and Lais Opticians, where I went on to lead the team. Building the sites and marketing them at the same time taught me early that the two jobs work best together.

From 2013 I worked freelance, then as a web developer, a digital marketing executive at Aristo Search and a senior SEO specialist with UK agencies. Since 2023 I have focused on performance marketing, and in 2025 I led the SEO team at ChefOnline Partners and mentored marketers at Linexis IT in Dhaka.

Today I am Brand & Digital Marketing Manager at Regent Education Services, Chief Technology Officer at Aristo Search and founder of Digi AI Online, alongside a small number of client projects I run personally for businesses in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and further afield.

How I work

Principles behind every project

Systems, not silos

Brand, website, search, ads and content planned together, so each one makes the others work harder.

Measure before you spend

Tracking is fixed first. Decisions are made on accurate data, not on what the platforms would like you to believe.

Plain-English reporting

You always know what was done, what it achieved and what comes next, without jargon.

You own everything

Code, ad accounts, analytics and content belong to you from day one.

Tools

What I use every week

  • Development: PHP, Laravel, JavaScript, Tailwind CSS, MySQL
  • Search: Google Search Console, Ahrefs, Semrush, Surfer SEO
  • Paid media and analytics: Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, GA4, Google Tag Manager, Looker Studio
  • Brand and creative: Adobe Photoshop, Canva Pro, Frontify, Brandfolder
  • AI: large language models for research and drafting, always with human editing; see AI content creation

Outside client work I mentor people entering digital marketing and website security. The same habit carries into projects: I explain the why, not just the what.

Experience

The full career path

Every role since 2010, newest first. Each one added a piece of the system I run for clients today.
