About Xaso
What is Xaso?
Xaso calls itself "a very special PPC agency based in Bournemouth". Its site says "We're deeply specialised in PPC marketing", that it manages "close to £10m p/a for our customers" and that it is "a Google, Microsoft, and Amazon Advertising partner". The method it describes is "machine learning-driven predictive analytics, world and competitor tracking, bespoke integrations and tracking, and cycled testing (we test everything)". Its case studies cover Sussex Beds, Compare and Recycle, Bolts.co.uk, Gutter Supplies, Bourne Space and Higher Elevation, and the founder and managing director, George Haslett, says he has "worked full-time in PPC management for over 14 years". The office is at 23 Hinton Road, Bournemouth, and its one open role on 2026-10-16 was a Paid Media Manager at "Up to £37,000.00 p/a".
Where will I work?
The Paid Media Manager posting says "The position is also hybrid and would be worked half in-office and half remote, but for probation, you would be required to be in the office full-time." The about page says staff are "entitled to flexible working hours and days from (almost) any location", and the posting lists "Extremely high-spec laptop, monitors, mouse and keyboard for working remotely", a "£500.00 settle-me-in budget for anything you'd like in the office" and an "Office by the beach". The posting describes a small, fast-growing agency that is "recruiting for both a Paid Media Manager and Paid Media Executive", with each manager co-managing projects with their own executive.
What is the Xaso team like?
The about page calls the culture "people-first" ("no, really, this isn't just something we say") and lists "our four-day working week, structured training, clear progression and our profit share scheme" as its foundation. Its core values are "A pledge to ethical business", "People first", "Completely carbon netural" (it plants "a tree for every £500.00 we manage online, over 5,000 trees planted to-date"), "Support local" and "Mental health matters". The founder describes a three-month trial in 2021 that split the team in two, with one half working Monday to Thursday and the other Tuesday to Friday: "we made no adjustments to salaries", and the firm says it saw "a close to 30% increase in productivity" before making the change permanent. The page also claims it has "increased our output-per-hour by over 24%" and "team happiness by over 30%".
Work-Life Balance
The about page says "every member of the team works to a four-day full-time working week", and the posting calls it "A fully flexible, four-day working week (this is effectively an extra 52 days off a year)". Weekly hours are not stated on the pages read, and the posting lists "22 days paid holiday per year (including bank and public holidays)". The profit share is described as "a flexible % of company profits that scales with company performance, this is currently a very significant % of salary p/a". The about page adds that staff have "access to many free health and fitness perks".
