Welcome…
22 Jan 2008 by Andrew Banks in General
Welcome to Good Together, the online blog of Andrew Banks, an e-commerce and online marketing consultant.
The idea behind starting this blog is to help spread some of the knowledge I have gained over the last eight years working in e-commerce and online marketing, and also to start a little community of people working in the same field or with the same interests.
Although this will be the main subject of this website, there will no doubt be little diversions from this along the way.
A little about me…
Having worked in the online marketing and e-commerce industry since 2000, I have been lucky (or not!) to have experienced working on both sides of the fence – client and agency side. For anyone who hasn’t worked on both sides I’d thoroughly recommend it as it really gives you a valuable insight into the challenges each side faces when dealing with the other and will often make your relationships with your agencies/clients much easier in the future.
The majority of my job titles have been related to the developments of the websites but more often than not my roles have involved managing the projects and providing strategy and direction for the e-commerce and online marketing aspects of the job. To be perfectly honest this is the area I get the greatest satisfaction from, and can make the biggest difference in when working with clients.
I’ve been fortunate enough to work for some of the UK’s biggest brands including the Halifax Bank (HBOS), Thomas Cook, Glen Dimplex and Schroders plus some smaller, but often more interesting, clients including Sinks and Taps, Kitchen Appliances Direct, Magic Loans, WhatsMineIsYours.com, Rensburg Sheppards, Kate Rusby and Retail Profiling Consultants.
So what do I do now?
I’m currently working as an independent consultant, offering e-commerce and online marketing advice and guidance to businesses of all sizes. I still dabble with e-commerce development and am currently working with prego*, an Otley based marketing company on projects for their clients.
If you’re interested in having me work with you on your projects, why not get in touch.

It’s only taken me… ermm.. 4 years? Made a promise to get this up and running this year and keep it up to date.
Really strange to see that Zionhill still seem to be doing their design work.

Nice to see you’re finally online.
Rensburg Sheppards takes me back a few years! To such a happy place in my mind :-\
Must remember to try and post something interesting on my site at some point.
