MacKechnie said: “It is fantastic to be joining such a progressive and accomplished board, and to have the opportunity to build a fresh new agency around modern SEO and content strategies.

“I’m excited to develop our digital marketing channels so that we drive growth in retail and e-commerce clients that share our philosophy.”

MacKechnie has also been a panellist, speaker and judge at industry events, most recently as a judge at the 2014 US Search Awards in Las Vegas.

“We’re thrilled that Phil has decided to join the team,” said Justin Young, chief operating officer at Webtise.

In the short time he’s been with us he’s already made a massive difference to our business by delivering high profile client wins.”

Webtise said it was on track this year to deliver 100% revenue growth, and has also grown headcount from 19 to 36 over the past 12 months, with numbers expected to reach 50 by the end of this year.
