Using data and automation to drive remarkable results for clients, Daniel has grown Brainlabs to over 800 people within 10 years.

Daniel was named #1 in PPC Hero’s Most Influential PPC Experts in the World list (2018), one of the most influential people in digital by Econsultancy (2018), and was a finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award (London, 2018).

Daniel is a frequent author for publications such as Campaign, Econsultancy, SearchEngineLand, and City AM. He is a techno-optimist, and an advocate for the benefits of automation.
