The hiring challenge

Legacy Comms is an award-winning, Ireland based SEO & Performance Marketing agency. Mícheál had two important roles to fill:

Having built solid demand for Digital PR and content marketing, Legacy was ready to start building out a dedicated team, starting with a Digital PR Manager.
Owing to client account growth within the department, and new business acquisition over the first half of the year, they were also in need of more firepower in the SEO team in the form of a well-rounded SEO Specialist.

Two weeks.
