We're a global team rewriting the rules.
CRKLR is a digital marketing agency for brands that want to grow quickly and make smarter decisions as they scale.
From SEO to paid media, content strategy to influencer marketing, we help ambitious companies reach the right people at the right time. Our agile international team works across Brighton, London, Porto, Durban and Kuala Lumpur. This means we run integrated campaigns around the clock, with no handoffs and no delays.
Looking for an agency that knows how to scale performance and make your marketing work harder? You’ve found us.
We were built for a new kind of marketing challenge. In-house teams are leaner, platforms change by the week, and brands need partners who move fast without losing focus.
Our team covers SEO, paid search, paid social, affiliates, influencers, content, programmatic, email and more. We don’t work in silos. We bring performance and creativity together to build campaigns that are joined-up and built to last.
We work across fashion, beauty, travel, food, tech and hospitality. Sometimes we lead strategy. Sometimes we plug into in-house teams. Either way, we bring energy, clarity and momentum. We help clients stay ahead, not play catch-up.
CRKLR is built for speed, precision and performance. Our team spans London and Brighton, with key players in Porto, Durban and Kuala Lumpur. This setup gives us global coverage, faster turnarounds and more responsive support across time zones.
Our structure is deliberately lean. Everyone on your account is highly skilled and hands-on. When you need a technical SEO audit or a major shift in paid search strategy, you’re working directly with the person doing the work. We fit where you need us, work without silos, and focus on what drives real impact.
We operate across all major performance channels, with deep expertise in:
Managing Director
Justin Thomas
Founding a digital marketing agency isn’t something you choose, it chooses you! Most people call me JT and I’ve founded 2 award winning agencies prior to setting up CRKLR as well as 2 tech start-ups and a wellness retailer. When I’m not helping the team deliver kick-ass digital campaigns, I can be found hanging out with my kids, playing football, cycling or making music.
Head of Operations & Implementation
Stacy Hopewell
I have 13 years of digital marketing experience, growing alongside the evolution of the industry. I’m passionate about paid social, and love delivering strong performance for clients—big or small. Building great relationships with clients and teammates is what keeps me inspired. Outside of work, I’m a boy-mom, runner, and happiest outdoors—either at the beach or on the bike track. I’m also passionate about giving back and supporting social upliftment in my community whenever I can.
Head of Performance Marketing & Innovation
Jonathan Erwin
With over 15 years as a global performance marketing specialist and ad strategist, I’ve worn many hats from product owner to agency lead. No challenge is too great, no question is too small! When I’m not scaling ad accounts, you can find me training martial arts or trying to finally learn Japanese.
Head of SEO
Toma Valčiukaitė
Over a decade of turbocharging big-name brands around the world! From deep-dive Technical SEO audits to performance boosts and organic growth magic – I make the search engines love you. Oh, and the hair? Iconic.
SEO Content Manager
Fin Moss
Three years experience of crafting content that climbs the rankings! From strategic content planning to SEO-optimised writing across diverse industries, I make your brand’s voice heard where it matters most. When I’m not boosting organic traffic, you’ll find me chasing F1 races around the globe or exploring the great outdoors.
Client Services Director
Douglas Sheard
With 15+ years in Marketing, media strategy and consumer engagement I’ve driven success for brands across more verticals than I can count. What drives me is client and customer success – especially thinking outside the box to find a solution to a tricky brief. Outside of work I love spending time with my family – two boys keeps me busy playing rugby, football and lots more!
Head of Paid Search
Gonçalo Morais
With over 12 years in digital marketing, I either know what I’m doing… or I’m just getting old. Probably both.
I’ve launched eCommerce businesses on every continent except Antarctica (still waiting on that penguin brief) and have been in paid ads since the days when Google “AdWords” was still the wild west. These days, I’m knee-deep in Google and whatever new ad platform pops up, constantly testing scripts, tweaking setups, and wondering why yesterday’s winning campaign suddenly flopped.
Head of Content
Olivia Hyde
Born into the digital age with a marketing degree in hand, social media is basically in my DNA. I create content that connects and have an eye for details most people miss. Think, videos to scroll stopping content. When I’m not doing that, I’m growing my own social channels, training for Hyrox comps, or deep into a psychological thriller (highly recommend The Housemaid by Freida McFadden).
Senior Paid Search Manager
Louie Smee
With 3 years of paid search experience, I turn clicks into clients through sharp, focused campaigns on Google Ads and Bing. From building strategy to solving PPC mysteries, I’m here to boost sales, grow your reach, and get the right eyes on your brand.
Agency Lead APAC
Jazlan Zakirin
Over a decade experience of driving growth for brands across APAC – from high-octane user acquisition to full-funnel campaigns that convert and connect. When I’m not scaling results or optimising strategy, you’ll find me writing songs or debate the Lakers’ playoff chances like it’s my second job.
PPC Executive
Bernardo Queiroz
Turning clicks into customers, one campaign at a time. I live and breathe Google Ads. managing budgets, optimising performance, and finding those sweet spots where data meets creativity. From local gems to global names, I help brands get seen, clicked, and converted. Precision? Always. Boring? Never.
Account Director
Thomas Roberts
I’ve been in the paid media game for over 10 years, working with both big-name retailers and scrappy start-ups. From ROAS dreams to CPC nightmares, I’ve seen it all (and bid on it too). Outside of work, I spend my time following Tottenham around Europe, watching the NBA (convenient when my daughter’s wide awake at 3am), and soaking up as much dad time as possible.
Account Director
Arun Mehta
Despite the youthful appearance, I have almost a decade of conversion-centric digital marketing experience – having worked with shoestring hospitality budgets to some of the biggest PPC budgets in the world for oil and gas clients. Out of office you can find me hiking with my Alaskan Malamute Mishka, tucking into a niche champagne, or practicing my foreign languages!
Account Manager
Jo Lau
My experience includes everything from paid media to creatives and email marketing but I relish delivering fantastic results regardless of the channel. You’ll find me supporting clients from strategy to campaign builds and optimisation. And when I’m not busy with client work, I enjoy running with my next half marathon in sight.
Account Executive
Luke White
From SEO audits and keyword research to crafting content that actually ranks, I’m all about turning data into decisions and clicks into conversions. My mission? Getting you those first-page spots that drive real traffic to your website. When I’m not knee-deep in SEMrush or Search Console, you’ll find me hiking the South Downs with my dog or binge-watching the latest must-see series.
