Glyn Spencer Hopkins
Owner, Internet Affected
I founded Internet Affected in 2010 having worked for UNICEF and in digital marketing and communications roles for over 20 years.
I began search engine optimization (SEO) in 1999 when it was all about link building and involved targeting hundreds of search engines, instead of just the few needed today. I worked on the technical side, analyzing search engines and hand-coding pages to rank on the first page. I spent three years working for two of London’s leading web-marketing agencies before life threw me a surprise.
At that time, I had no plans to move overseas but when I met my wife in London things took a different turn and I ended up moving to the beautiful city of Florence in Italy. I now have two children and can firmly call this city my home.
My clients expect me to speak candidly and with frankness about their business, and how they can improve it online. With my past experience I am able to give them jargon free advice on how to maximize their online presence. Having worked in this sector for many years I have a tight team and well-established partners so am able to give an end-to-end service, while at the same time being able to maintain the feel of a small one-to-one relationship.
If your business provides a premium service and operates in an increasingly competitive market place then our services will help you receive more sales, and find new business opportunities online. Even if you are not the cheapest - but your customers are prepared to pay a premium because your offer is of a unique quality – I would like to learn more about your business to see if we can help it.

Very little as I have two boys and spend my time in a basketball court or trying to recover from these great weekends. I also enjoy looking out for watches for my collection.
