Starting From Nothing

At 22 you can say Harry hasn't even started yet. Yet he is running a multi-award winning, multi-million dollar company called StudioHawk which is Australia's largest specialist dedicated SEO agency. That in itself is an incredible accomplishment. And to have done this starting it at just 17 as a homeless teenager from the streets of Melbourne and even living with drug addicts , is nothing but a mind-blowing feat. Thanks to his resilience and determination. 

He will be an inspiration to every teenager and even my son when he grows up! 

Harry won the B&T 30 Under 30 presented by Vevo award a few weeks back in June 2020. He also won Optus Young Business Leader of 2019.  He has done a TEDx show. He's been on TV and media including BBC and Forbes. He's also the specialist board member of Australian Web Industry Association.

StudioHawk has won many awards notably the SEMRush Search Awards Australia Best Agency in 2018 and 2019, such a coveted award in the SEO industry. Other awards include, Mumbrella Awards 2019 winner, and Australian Business Award 2019 winner.
