About Jellyhound
A Passion for Helping
Striving to make your life at work easier, happier, and more fulfilling.
Our story
When Julian founded Jellyhound back in 2010, he had a unique talent for blending marketing, operations, support, and development. Fresh from an operational management role, Julian saw a golden opportunity to strike out on his own and share his expertise in web development and digital strategy.
Jellyhound’s journey began in the heart of Edinburgh. From the start, we’ve been about building a community. Our clients, mainly marketing professionals and business owners, have always appreciated our hands-on approach and strategic insights.
In 2017 Jellyhound acquired WP Tweaks, a WordPress support company founded by Neil Smart, and together, they started a new chapter. The focus shifted to providing reliable, result-driven support and maintenance services that our clients needed most. We started introducing events and focusing more on education and empowerment.
Now, in 2024, with myself at the helm. Our mission remains deeply rooted in community and support. We aim to empower you, both personally and professionally, providing strong foundations for data-driven decision-making and digital well-being. Today, we focus on helping marketing professionals and business owners understand what’s working with their marketing goals and ensuring they have a solid foundation in measuring, understanding goals, improving performance, managing security, and getting great support.
At Jellyhound, we’re more than just a service provider. We’re a support membership and community. A place where you can feel safe, supported, and empowered.
Thank you for being a part of our journey.
