Paul Forest Email and Phone Number
For over 20 years, I have been pushing the limits of what is possible within the Google and YouTube advertising space. During this time, I have achieved industry-leading results for both organic and paid listings. I attribute my success to “going the extra mile” in meeting the needs of my clients. I am deeply passionate about developing custom solutions for optimising my own capabilities, including the development of my own AI toolset which I use when analysing and managing client accounts.
