Who is Tom Edwards at Bit Quirky

Tom is the founder of Bit Quirky, an independent SEO consultant and fractional CMO practice based in Newquay, Cornwall, UK. Well-connected to London and serving clients nationally and internationally.

Tom’s career in digital spans over two decades, beginning in 2002 when he started freelancing in web design and early SEO while travelling in New Zealand. On returning to the UK he moved in-house as eCommerce Manager at High & Mighty, the well-known fashion retailer, where he spent just over five years building his commercial grounding.

He then moved agency side, progressing through SEO Manager and Digital Marketing Manager roles — and during this period became a global ambassador for Hootsuite at one of the most exciting times in social media’s history.

In 2018 Tom took on the Head of Marketing role at Ortho Consulting Group and Osteotec, operating across the healthcare and orthopaedics sector. The role was genuinely global — spanning digital marketing, international events, and high-level clinical round tables — and gave Tom a depth of experience few digital marketers can claim.

In 2021 he joined The Goat Agency as Digital Marketing Director, taking the business through a full cycle of brand awareness, lead generation, and growth.
Today, through Bit Quirky, Tom brings all of that in-house, agency, and executive experience directly to clients — without the layers of an agency or the overhead of a full-time hire.
