I would like to announce that John Rampton, Editor-At-Large, is leaving Search
Engine Journal. John worked for us for about 2 years, and during that time, he
helped us complete many of our long-term goals, which included creating a
podcast, doing great video interviews at conferences, and creating long-form
guides for our readers.

Personally, I really enjoyed working with John at events and on the editorial
process, as his enthusiasm has always been infectious. He is a
veteran interviewer, has a great attitude and is always one for making things
happen.



John gave me these parting words to share:

It’s been an honor to work with SEJ over the past 2+ years. I’ve worked with
some of the best and brightest people in the industry as well as been able to
help double SEJ’s readership. I’ve learned so much that’s helped me to get to
where I am today. When I started with SEJ I was blogging on a few sites. Because
of SEJ, I’ve been able to leverage my online reputation to be able to write for
Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc and several other sites. I couldn’t have gotten there
without it!



I’ve been extremely busy with working with clients and a few side projects
like Startup Grind which we’ve grown to 150 chapters and 100,000+ entrepreneurs
that have attended our events, as well as Hostt. You can find out everything I’m
working on currently on my personal site. I still plan on being a regular
contributor and seeing everyone at events!

Be sure to look for John on Twitter, his guest posts on Inc, Entrepreneur, and
Forbes, and occasional contributions to SEJ.

I’m continuing in my role as managing editor of Search Engine Journal, and you
can always reach me at kelsey {at} searchenginejournal.com.
