Meet the team

Optimus Performance Marketing was set up in 2006 to meet the needs of existing and new clients to affiliate marketing.
We saw a gap in the UK affiliate marketing arena for a quality management company that could provide honest and timely advice to affiliates and merchants.

During the last few months the team at Optimus Performance Marketing has grown rapidly and below you will find details about all the staff who were here before and also the new recruits.

I have also included all the contact details for each person if you wish to speak to anyone in particular.

Optimus Performance Marketing Welcome John Marshall

Optimus Performance Marketing are delighted to welcome John Marshall to the company.

I have asked John to write something about himself:-


“I’ve been asked to write something about myself as a biog….well here goes.

I fell into affiliate marketing by accident really. I left school in 1988 (so you can do the maths) and completed my 4 year engineering apprenticeship in my home city of Coventry (that’s past the Watford gap) and then proceeded to be made redundant.

From then on I took a career change into retail management. For companies like Toys r Us and Debenhams.

Having tired of the abuse most retail staff have to take, I moved again to warehouse management and logistics….and by some strange twist of fate, ended up doing what I said I would never do…..sit in an office!

My previous role at Ei42 saw me manage over 1400 programs, commission claims and our companies participation in the Affiliate Future 2009 Barbados “event”.

So thats work covered…now home life.

I’m engaged to Sharon, who is currently back in Coventry with Daniel (age 13) and the three dogs. The house is for sale as we are all committed to a future down here with Optimus-am and Plymouth. Mark has even offered to have me re-engineered to become a Plymouth Argyle Fan….thanks!

I’m very excited about the future down here, not only because I can nearly see the coast from the office, but because of the opportunity that Optimus-am offers….”

Later this week we will be announcing the programmes that John will be responsible for ongoing and also announcing some new clients that we will be managing.

If you wish to contact John below are his details:-

Good luck in your new role John.
