Internet marketing agency Ph.Creative is continuing to buck the economic trend after revealing that it is opening two new offices in London and Manchester in the next two months.
This follows news that the company, which started five years ago, has landed a major coup appointing Richard Waters as a director, having joined from world leading digital agency Latitude who last year recorded a £60m turnover.
Speaking from their HQ in Rodney Street, Managing Director Bryan Adams said:
“This exciting appointment reinforces our intentions towards taking a stronghold on the search marketing sector following our recent acquisition of Be Visible in January.
“We’ve been able to grow quickly after significant investment and time spent developing PhUse, our ‘lead generation’ software that we introduced to clients to help grow their business and ours. Richard will be instrumental in helping prospective new clients maximise their online sales potential using PhUse.”
Mr. Waters will take a key role in developing the business further and has already been responsible for driving with Adams, a series of seminars sponsored by Google and Facebook.
Entitled ‘Attract, Capture & Engage’…how to win more business through online marketing strategies, the seminars will go nationwide this year after their launch at the BT Convention Centre in Liverpool last month.
Ph.Creative will also use Waters’ experience to address the immediate pain of clients through progressive internet market techniques that operate as a business development tool.
Waters joins in a period that has seen Ph.Creative win ten new accounts across the country since March 1st ranging from health and fitness brands to professional services.
He said: “My background is working within large corporate agencies but the spirit and entrepreneurial streak within the team is a real buzz.
“What has impressed me most is their commitment to delivering a premium service to the SME sector. The idea of bringing the service levels expected within the UK industry’s top five agencies to the SME market was one of the major reasons for joining Ph.Creative.”
Founder Adams, who started the business in a basement office in the city has also revealed that they are looking for larger premises in Liverpool.
“We need to move soon so that we can maintain our operations in line with servicing the diverse array of companies and sectors that we now support. From humble beginnings, ultimately we have been able to prove that our innovative online marketing strategies can help any business grow whatever the industry or climate.”
Ph.Creative achieved growth of more than 500% in the previous 12 months to March 2008 with projections on current turnover expected to treble in the next 9 months. The firm currently employs 15 staff with the new offices’ intake expected to double that number within the next 6 months.
