Harry Sanders

Harry Sanders is the Founder and Director of StudioHawk, an independent specialist SEO and AI Search agency operating across Australia and international markets. He founded StudioHawk at 17 and has spent more than 10 years working hands on in search. Under his leadership, the agency has grown to more than 100 SEO and search specialists, with approximately $20 million in annual revenue. StudioHawk was built around a dedicated specialist model, keeping SEO as a core discipline rather than an add on to broader digital marketing services. Sanders leads search strategy across markets including the UK and North America, with expertise covering technical SEO and organic growth. His work increasingly focuses on AI driven search, including how brands build visibility within platforms such as ChatGPT and how generative search changes traditional approaches to discovery.

Sanders also founded Hawk Academy, which provides SEO and AI Search education to thousands of students each year. He regularly speaks about the evolution of Google search and the growing role of AI platforms, drawing on his experience building an international agency without venture capital or outside investors. His approach favours sustainable, compounding organic growth over short term search tactics. StudioHawk has been recognised as Best Global SEO Agency and has won Best APAC SEO Agency three times. Sanders was named a Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia honouree and B&T Entrepreneur of the Year. Outside StudioHawk, he co founded luggage brand Kadi and serves as an ambassador for the Lighthouse Foundation, supporting young people experiencing homelessness and related challenges.
