Nick Janaway

Head of Digital

As head of digital at Marketing Labs, Nick is involved in delivering all of our services. He’s a man of many talents with experience in SEO, paid advertising and social media – to name a few!

He’s no stranger to the kinds of business challenges our clients face daily. Before he joined Marketing Labs, Nick spent more than ten years working at Centre Parcs where he was responsible for customer acquisition and media buying.

His job was to raise brand awareness and increase traffic and revenue by engaging with audiences across multiple channels – in much the same way as he does for our clients today.

His favourite quote is: ‘the only impossible journey is the one you never begin’, which sums up Nick well. He’s not afraid of a challenge at work, and at home, he’s busy renovating his house and helping to raise two young boys.

He’s certainly got his hands full, but when Nick does get some downtime, he enjoys playing and watching sports.
