Our Team

The people doing the work

No account managers between you and the answer. When you work with Pagelift, you talk to the people building, writing, and ranking your site.

James Parsons, founder and CEO of Pagelift

James Parsons

Founder & CEO

Hi, I'm James. I founded Pagelift and its sister agency, Content Powered, after nearly twenty years in SEO and content marketing.

I got my start building eCommerce companies and growing them purely through content. Since then I've helped everyone from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies like eBay and Expedia shape their content and search strategies, and I share what I learn in publications like Search Engine Journal, Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Inc.

My focus is simple: content and websites that resonate and convert. The best way to reach me is to book a call.

Pierce L.

Project Manager

Pierce is the engine that keeps everything moving. He manages the day-to-day for all of our clients, spearheading campaigns from kickoff to delivery and solving problems before they ever have a chance to become problems. As the connective tissue between our content, development, production, editing, and graphics teams, Pierce makes sure nothing falls through the cracks and every project lands on time. If you've ever wondered how so many moving parts stay perfectly in sync, the answer is Pierce.

Hal W.

Content Manager

Hal is the reason our content is sharp, polished, and consistent across every piece we publish. He oversees quality and cohesion for the entire content operation, tying campaigns together and making sure we never write the same thing twice - a harder job than it sounds when you publish as much as we do. He's also famously the one who catches James trying to do everything himself, and gently (or not so gently) redirects him. Every word that leaves our shop passes Hal's standards first.

Joseller N.

Graphic Design Lead

Joseller leads our graphic design team and is responsible for the visual identity behind everything we create. He ensures every piece of content ships with A+ custom imagery, and designs the assets and graphics that power our web apps. From blog illustrations to product interfaces, Joseller's work is why our content doesn't just read well - it looks the part, too.

Darcy C.

Digital PR Lead

Darcy is our connection to the wider media world. He works closely with journalists, editors, and our internal team to secure placements for our clients on major publications, building the kind of authority and visibility that can't be bought. When a client's name shows up somewhere impressive, odds are Darcy made the introduction.
