Duncan Parry
Head of Insight and Co-Founder
Head of Insight and Co-Founder Duncan Parry began his career in search in 1999 at Lycos, during the early days of the search industry.
His role at Lycos involved researching, classifying and writing descriptions of UK websites. This unique role provided him exposure to thousands of sites, internet technologies and business models at a time of rapid online growth.
In 2001, Duncan joined the editorial department at Espotting. Here he was responsible for creating and optimising campaigns for clients ranging from SMEs to global brands. He soon rose to the position of Agency Editorial Manager where he worked on the PPC campaigns of some of the UK's leading brands in finance, travel, recruitment and ecommerce. He left Espotting in February 2004 to work as a consultant specialising in both paid and natural search, during which time his clients included publisher VNU's portfolio of UK IT, finance and recruitment websites.
As an industry thought leader, Duncan features regularly in trade press publications such as NMA and Marketing Week, and has also been quoted in The Financial Times. He was a 2007 finalist of the Start Up awards 'Young Entrepreneur of the Year' and was selected by the judges of COURVOISIER © The Future 500 as one of the top 50 brightest and best rising stars in the science and innovation category.
