Bolton-based digital marketing agency Own Your Space has appointed Cameron Batt, former performance business director at Wavemaker, as its new head of organic.
Batt joins the agency with extensive experience from some of the UK’s leading performance marketing agencies, including roles at Wavemaker, Croud, and Jaywing. During his time at Wavemaker, he led performance strategies for high-profile accounts, combining technical expertise with commercial insight to deliver measurable business growth.
The appointment comes at a pivotal moment for Own Your Space, following the recent arrival of managing partner Ashley Butcher, formerly head of SEO at Moneysupermarket. Batt joins the senior leadership team to help overhaul the agency’s organic offering and support its mission to bridge the gap between technical search data and genuine revenue performance.
Batt said: “Having spent years in large network agencies like Wavemaker and Croud, I’ve seen what excellence looks like at scale. The opportunity to bring that level of rigor to Own Your Space, while retaining the agility and hunger of an independent agency, was too good to turn down.
“I’m particularly excited to work alongside Ashley and the leadership team. We share a vision to move the conversation away from vanity metrics and towards real commercial impact. I look forward to helping our clients dominate their organic space and driving the next phase of the agency’s growth.”
Managing partner Butcher added: “Cameron’s appointment is a big moment for Own Your Space. We’re deliberately building a senior team with experience from the most sophisticated performance agencies in the UK, and Cameron brings exactly that level of expertise.
“As the market matures, clients need search strategies that are far more commercially accountable. Cameron will play a key role in helping us deliver that next phase.”
Own Your Space continues to strengthen its position in the market by delivering integrated digital solutions, while Batt’s appointment reinforces the agency’s commitment to recruiting enterprise-level talent with a view to delivering tangible results for its growing client base. Own Your Space specialises in in performance-led organic search and integrated digital strategy.
