Ben Yelland

What’s your role at Alpha Agency?    

I am a Marketing Consultant that specialises across digital marketing. I have a fundamental understanding across all the channels that sit within digital, but my key specialisms are:

  • Social (organic & paid)
  • SEO
  • Analytics
  • UX & IA
  • Websites/CMS

 

What has been your journey to get here?    

I have had the privilege of working here since graduating from university and I have been exposed to a variety of marketing channels, clients, and challenges.

Along my journey I took a particular focus in digital (I’ve always had a vested interest in it), and throughout my time here I have worked on a wide range of digital projects for clients, along with upskilling myself across digital practices I was unfamiliar with.

 

What should people know about you?    

People should know that I am a motivated hard worker who never quits, and my support of Arsenal Football Club should be all the evidence I need to back up that statement.

 

Other than your current role, what would your dream job be?       

I have a few answers for this one, but I will narrow it down to two:

  • Football player/manager/analyst
  • Pilot (or anything else that allowed me to travel the world)

 

If you were stuck on a desert island, what one luxury could you not do without?    

A fully functioning plane.

(If I can’t have the above then just give me access to YouTube and I’ll be alright)

 

What is your go-to karaoke song?    

If I have a duet partner (most of the time I don’t), then my go-to karaoke song is ‘Islands in the stream’.

If I don’t have a partner and I’m going solo, then it has to be Natasha Bedingfield ‘Unwritten’.
