What next for I Spy Search? Jim Brigden new CEO

Interesting times are ahead for UK search agency I Spy Search, as it was announced on Friday that former The Search Works CEO and Tradedoubler MD, Jim Brigden is to join the company as CEO.

Jim Brigden, new I Spy Search CEO

Brigden is quite a key figure in the search industry and is reknown for taking The Search Works from a £1m to £100m turnover business in just 3 years (2004-2007). Seems he caught the wave of search marketing at just the right time as the company was subsequently sold for £56m by Tradedoubler in 2007.

As a client of I Spy Search, I look forward to seeing what Jim can bring to table. He has over 10 years of managing businesses in the UK Search industry, so I’m intrigued to see his impact on what I already consider a pretty strong team.

For more on the guy, check Jim Brigden’s LinkedIn profile or read the news story of his appointment on New Media Age.

Interesting. I first new Jim when Overture was called Goto... with only two employees in the UK I think. It was before he went to work for Simon and David - the original owners of Search Works... then WSPS.

ISpy are certainly hiring names. Hope that's good for you. Jim certainly has a good track record of bringing companies to market.

Dixon.
