Alex Stott’s experience

At HSBC in financial collections, he developed an understanding of regulated-sector compliance and quality standards
Graduating with a B.A. (Hons) in Journalism, Alex spent over a decade in roles that shaped his approach to content. At HSBC in financial collections, he developed an understanding of regulated-sector compliance and quality standards. A move to DFS brought experience in customer-facing service and brand consistency across multiple touchpoints. Throughout this period, he returned to writing as Reviews Editor for an online music magazine, then worked as a Technical Specialist at Apple, where he learned how to communicate complex information clearly to non-expert audiences. When the opportunity to move into marketing with Absolute came in 2019, it brought together his writing skills, regulated-sector experience, and customer-first mindset into a natural fit.

The bigger picture

What drives Alex

The problem is that plenty of brands, especially bigger ones, assume they're too established to need to change their approach

The shift to AI overviews and LLMs has fundamentally changed how content gets discovered. It's no longer just about ranking for keywords on Google, as visibility now depends on whether your content is good enough for these systems to pick it up and whether it actually meets what users expect. Quality and E-E-A-T aren't nice-to-haves anymore; they're basic requirements.

The problem is that plenty of brands, especially bigger ones, assume they're too established to need to change their approach. But if your content doesn't meet these standards in this environment, you become invisible. That gap between "we've always done it this way" and "this actually works now" is where most visibility gets lost.
