About


My Experience

My name is Mikey, a freelance digital specialist with 20 years of professional experience and a passion for digital innovation. Previously, I served as a security operative team leader at Aberystwyth University, where I developed strong organizational and analytical skills while collaborating with the Global Marketing & Student Recruitment and Information Services departments. These experiences enhanced my expertise in digital strategies, content creation, and online engagement.

Over the years, I’ve taken on various roles—from lifeguarding and youth work to events promotion and modeling—all of which have shaped my adaptability and problem-solving skills. Now, through my company, ZANDA, I specialize in digital marketing, website design, content creation, affiliate marketing, and dropshipping. My goal is to help small businesses grow online with tailored, affordable digital solutions.

Based in Aberystwyth for the past 14 years after moving from Liverpool to pursue my BA Hons degree, I understand the unique challenges local businesses face. Whether you need support with your online presence or a fresh digital strategy, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to bring your vision to life—how can I support you today?

Modus Operandi

EXCLUSIVE PROJECTS

I can assist with singular projects such as SEO (search engine optimisation), digital report overviews' or building you a professional website.

I will give you a quote based on your requisite. This will include a detailed breakdown of my work and the principle elements entailed to achieve your goals. This will demonstrate exactly what I will be doing to assist you and how I will utilise the time spent' for your own piece of mind. We can discuss timescales and any external/third party requirements. If I am creating you a new website, we can agree on a sign-off phase. Recommendations, assistance and advice will be included once your website is being handed over to you.

RETAINERS

If you are enjoying me and my work ethic, you may want to keep me on retainer. The benefits of my retainer service is that you only pay as & when you need me' saving you expense in hiring a fixed employee. No long-term contracts or expensive web agencies required.

We can discuss & agree on the amount of hours I will commit to you' echoed on a monthly basis and in coherence with the tasks agreed and any requirements in order to meet your goals. Similar to a 'pay as you go' service, if you decide you do not require my services next month, you do not pay and any hours owed to you will carry over to the next time you do. The ball is fully in your court.
