Experience

Rob is a professional SEO writer with over 15 years of experience, and is highly experienced in digital marketing. Prior to his role as a freelance writer, he founded and ran a public relations and digital marketing agency for over nine years. His writing journey began far earlier than his professional career, when he wrote his first short novel at the age of 16. Since then, his love for the written word has continued to grow. He joined Static Media in 2025, regularly contributing to the features and news teams at House Digest and Tasting Table. His passion for writing is only matched by his passion for DIY. In true new dad style, he has created all sorts of creations for his kids to enjoy at home, and pulls from this hands-on experience while researching and writing about all things home decor and improvement.
