Downhill, Web Developer, Thomas Jaycocks, and Social Media Strategist, Tyne Stanley. Each team member brings with them a new


perspective and 123 Internet Group hope that this will add to the experience and service provided to clients,


from the planning process all the way through to development and execution. Tyne Stanley, in particular, is offering more insights into the benefits of data behind social media. She said: “So far, I’ve devised social media strategies,


created follower and brand engagement strategy templates and had a successful meeting with one of LinkedIn’s Top Voices 2018: UK Influencers. My first few months have been jam-packed but I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here so far.” Lizzie, Thomas and Tyne have all settled in very well


into the agency and the team are thoroughly enjoying the new dynamic. Scott adds: “It’s a pleasure to be working with them and everyone at 123 Internet Group is looking forward to seeing them develop as the year progresses.”
