Chris Hamilton

For those that don't know me, my name is Chris Hamilton. I was born around mid April in the year of 1988. Known in Australia as the bicentennial year. It was also the year that the world expo launched in Brisbane, Microsoft launched Windows 2.1, Enzo Ferrari died, a truce began in the Iran-Iraq war and the Pan Am Flight # 103 was destroyed over Lockerbie in Scotland resulting in the death of more than 200 people. I'm the type of person who pays attention to every detail. I was born with a substantially high amount of common sense and an immense amount of patience.

My Work

My involvement and interest in the online industry started picking up pace when I began working for a business called Boomerang. Our office at the time was based in Paddington in Brisbane and I was initially hired as a web designer. Within a month I was given additional responsibility to manage the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for a particular group of sites.

Boomerang was a new online media business with a portfolio of more than 30,000 high quality Australian domain names, including www.creditcards.com.au, www.jobs.com.au, www.mobiles.com.au etc. They even had stuff like www.shoelace.com.au. Chances are that you've probably already visited one of their sites without even knowing it.

Just before Christmas of 2009, Fairfax Digital became an owner of Boomerang, which in the process, was renamed to Online Marketing Group (www.omg.com.au). Needless to say, the direction of focus for the business was changed, along with many peoples roles and even the location. The business was moved to Sydney from Brisbane. Their office lies on the water in Darling Island with stunning views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

I worked for Boomerang / Online Marketing Group in February 2008 and ceased employment with them in August of 2009 to return to Brisbane for personal reasons.

I now work for myself and run the Hammer Media Network.
