About

Who is Chris Ridley?

• Paid Media Manager and Team Lead at Evoluted.
• I primarily focus on Paid Search but find I provide the most value to my clients when I get immersed in their business.
• You can usually find me either watching the Jacksonville Jaguars, playing board games with friends or hiking with my wife Bex and our Cocker Spaniel, Reggie Ridley.

Chris Ridley is a Paid Media Manager and Team Lead at Evoluted, based in the United Kingdom. In this role, I strive to develop the Paid Media service we offer our clients, while leading by example when it comes to upholding the company values, culture and standards of work.

I primarily focus on Paid Search but find I provide the most value to my clients when I get immersed in their business and help them shape their overall marketing strategy to align with their business objectives and finances – there’s no point in delivering volume if it’s not profitable.

I’m as confident on a conference stage as I am in a Google Ads account. Public speaking has become a great platform (pun intended) for me to give back to the digital marketing community and to sharpen my confidence and communication skills.

Within my 5+ years of experience, I have worked from being a one-man marketing team for a family-run manufacturing company to leading the Paid Media team for a digital marketing agency with a 40+ headcount.

Prior to my digital marketing days, I worked in hospitality for 10 years. From pulling pints and changing bedsheets to managing a pub and driving up and down the country as an Area Manager. Outside of work, you can usually find me either watching my NFL team – the Jacksonville Jaguars – on a Sunday evening, playing board games with friends or hiking across the British countryside with my wife Bex and our Cocker Spaniel, Reggie Ridley.
