Market, Customer and Competitor Insights Specialist

Alex begins with evidence. As a Market, Customer and Competitor Insights Specialist, he studies market opportunities, customer behaviour, business models, pricing signals and competitor activity. He uses primary research, such as surveys and interviews, alongside secondary data from reports and databases to identify gaps and opportunities.

The outcome is not simply a report. Alex prioritises findings by business impact and translates them into clear recommendations for decision-makers. SWOT analysis, customer intelligence and channel evaluation can inform positioning, content planning, campaign priorities and website improvements. This approach helps a business focus its resources where they can have the greatest practical effect.

His experience includes research across several European languages and markets. That international perspective supports more relevant messaging, better audience segmentation and a clearer understanding of how customers differ between locations.

SEO Specialist and Drupal Developer

As an SEO SPECIALIST, Alex conducts technical and content audits, develops search-focused strategies and works with teams to create useful, discoverable content. His CV records more than 17 years of SEO experience, including work on on-page optimisation, off-page activity, content ecosystems and internal training.

His technical foundation makes the website itself part of the SEO solution. As a Drupal Developer, Alex combines Drupal back-end capability with a responsive Bootstrap front end. He focuses on fast, accessible, conversion-ready websites with clean structures, strong user experience and technical foundations that support search visibility.

Alex also describes experience building “feeder websites” that create additional traffic streams and support off-page SEO. His approach is designed to build sustainable visibility rather than rely only on expensive advertising or isolated keyword tactics.

Content Writer and SEM Manager

Alex is an experienced CONTENT WRITER who creates articles, landing pages, newsletters, print assets and social content. He connects editorial planning to commercial goals, ensuring that content answers audience questions, supports search intent and encourages an appropriate next step.

His work includes daily and on-trend content, strategic off-page assets and content designed to attract quality traffic. He can also help businesses review existing pages, identify gaps and develop a practical editorial programme for English, French, Italian and Spanish audiences.

As an SEM MANAGER, Alex manages paid search and paid social activity with attention to quality score, landing-page relevance, targeting and return on investment. His CV states that his optimisation work has reduced PPC costs by up to 90% in relevant campaigns. He uses advertising data alongside organic search insight, helping paid and unpaid channels reinforce one another.

His qualifications and platform experience include Google Marketing Platform, Microsoft Advertising, Adobe Experience Cloud and Google Ads Partner training. This enables Alex to connect campaign setup, measurement, attribution and ongoing optimisation instead of treating advertising as a set-and-forget activity.

Graphic Designer, Photographer and Website Designer

Alex is a GRAPHIC DESIGNER and PHOTOGRAPHER who develops visual assets that help brands communicate clearly. His experience covers branding, brochures, infographics, social graphics, web visuals and photography for still life, ecommerce and studio applications.

Creative work is supported by strong technical skills. Alex uses Adobe Creative Cloud and design tools to shape consistent visual systems, while his photography experience adds control over composition, detail and presentation. These skills can improve the quality of product pages, campaigns, social posts and editorial content.

As a WEBSITE DESIGNER, Alex creates responsive websites that combine visual clarity, usable navigation and SEO-aware architecture. His Drupal and Bootstrap experience supports fast, flexible builds, while HTML and CSS knowledge helps him work closely with technical teams and content editors.

Alex’s wider website development background includes custom CMS work, technical optimisation and mobile-focused design. He can therefore contribute from early planning through launch, quality assurance and continuous improvement.

Social Media Manager and Performance Specialist

As a SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER, Alex plans and coordinates brand activity across social channels. His CV refers to direct access to a substantial personal network on Twitter and Facebook, as well as experience building influencer networks and managing targeted paid campaigns.

Effective social media work requires more than publishing regularly. Alex can align platform activity with audience research, content themes, campaign objectives and conversion paths. He also uses tools including Hootsuite, Buffer, TweetDeck and Meta Business Suite to support planning, publishing and monitoring.

As a DIGITAL MARKETING PERFORMANCE SPECIALIST, Alex monitors activity across Google Marketing Platform, Microsoft Advertising and Adobe Experience Cloud. He turns performance data into recommendations that stakeholders can understand and act on, helping identify bottlenecks, revenue opportunities and areas for optimisation.

His analytical approach supports reporting across SEO, paid media, social activity, email marketing, website performance and conversion activity. Rather than viewing each channel in isolation, Alex can help establish a joined-up measurement process tied to commercial goals.

Growth Director, AEO and GEO Specialist

Alex works as a GROWTH DIRECTOR when a business needs strategic coordination across markets, products and channels. He can define commercial goals, assess market potential, guide teams and ensure that creative, technical and marketing work remains aligned with business priorities.

His growth approach includes opening new markets, improving existing digital journeys and identifying opportunities for more efficient acquisition. Experience in SEO, SEM, content, analytics, website development and social media allows him to evaluate the complete system rather than recommend a single disconnected tactic.

Alex is also an AEO and GEO Specialist, helping organisations structure useful answers for search experiences that increasingly rely on direct responses, generative systems and location-aware discovery. Clear information architecture, authoritative content, technical accessibility and consistent business information all contribute to being understood by both people and search systems.

How Alex Costin Can Help

Alex can help a business move from scattered digital activity to a coordinated growth programme. He can begin with market, customer and competitor research, then translate the findings into a clear positioning and content plan. From there, he can improve technical foundations, create useful content, manage paid campaigns, strengthen social activity and build reporting that supports better decisions.

For a new website, Alex can contribute to information architecture, design, Drupal development, Bootstrap implementation, content, SEO and launch quality assurance. For an established website, he can audit performance, identify technical and content opportunities, improve landing pages and establish a prioritised roadmap.

For organisations entering new markets, his multilingual experience can help adapt research, messaging and campaign execution. For teams that want greater independence, Alex can provide training and practical guidance so internal staff become more confident with SEO, content, social media and performance tools.

The central benefit is joined-up expertise. Instead of managing separate conversations with a researcher, copywriter, designer, developer, SEO consultant and advertising specialist, a business can work with one partner who understands how these disciplines affect one another.

Alex’s CV identifies experience with Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Drupal, Bootstrap, HTML, CSS, social platforms, email marketing tools and analytics. That blend of strategy, creativity and implementation enables him to help with both planning and delivery.

Whether the priority is clearer market intelligence, stronger search visibility, a faster website, better content, more efficient advertising or a complete digital growth plan, Alex can help define the next practical step.
