Hi, I’m Stuart Biggs, a marketing and online business builder with a long-running connection to the poker world. Over the last 15 years I’ve lived in Central and Eastern Europe, run digital marketing campaigns, built brands, and helped grow live cash game experiences across Europe. I’ve led campaigns, written compelling copy, and helped create communities around high-stakes events. From co-founding PokerTourist.net and Merlin Poker to running Shopify stores and freelance copywriting, I combine hands-on marketing skills with a passion for community building. I’m always exploring new ways to connect players, casinos, and brands through smart ads, sharp copy, and user-friendly experiences.
