How it all started
Let’s find out
Founders
From school mates to business partners in an international agency, founders Edward Coram James and Tom Skinner have embarked on a journey of dedication and innovation.
After exploring different directions in life and living across the globe from each other, they reconnected when Ed envisioned the potential of SEO, just as Tom was seeking to pursue a more innovative role outside of his traditional agency.
What started as an intuition about the possibilities and opportunities within search engine optimisation, turned into a headstart on what has become one of the largest and most prominent tools on the internet.
Our culture is built on the premise that employees should ‘Go Up’ too.

Testimonials
“I thought I wanted too much before I started at Go Up: a place to learn, feel appreciated, work in a team that would be there when I made mistakes, especially in the beginning. Luckily, Go Up is much more than what I had in mind.”
SEO Account Manager
“Coming from Marketing I sidestepped into a role where I knew I could grow at the trajectory that I wanted to. From Office Manager and EA to Marketing Co-ordinator, to Growth Manager – Go Up allowed me the freedom to grow into each of these roles and I still learn something new every day! It always helps when your colleagues are also your mates – until you mention TikTok.”
Growth Manager
“From being a fresh-faced graduate straight out of university to leading an entire department within 5 years, Go Up has given me countless opportunities to develop and grow within the company. Not only that, but Go Up has cultivated a team culture and office environment that genuinely makes work not feel like work.”
Head of Content & Senior SEO Strategist
“After completing a degree in journalism, I swiftly found the perfect company to kick-start my career in PR and ease my way into the working world. As well as offering all things digital marketing, Go Up likes to mix it up and also offer PR services so companies can have everything in one space – why didn’t I think of this business idea?”
PR Assistant
“Having zero experience working at a digital marketing agency, or even within digital marketing at all, Go Up has exceeded my expectations of what it is like to work with a team full of ambitious and passionate people. The freedom I have of how I want to do my work is a privilege I’ve never had before. I have spent little time here so far – but still have a lot to be thankful for.”
Growth Executive
“Since starting as an intern at Go Up, time has flown by. This is not just because there have been so many great learning opportunities, but also because of the supportive and inclusive team that are always there to help me. As the old saying goes, it’s not where you work, it’s who you work with, and at Go Up, it is among friends.”
