From the Tyne to the Tees, we help North East businesses grow through strategic digital marketing. Social media, email, content, and paid campaigns — all built on data, all focused on the metrics that actually matter to your bottom line.
No fluff. No jargon. Just proper work that moves your business forward.
North East audiences respond to brands that feel real. We build social campaigns across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok that reflect your business authentically and convert regional engagement into measurable commercial outcomes.
Automated email workflows that generate revenue around the clock. We create segmented campaigns and intelligent sequences for North East businesses that keep customers engaged and drive consistent repeat sales.
Multi-channel campaigns that connect with audiences across the North East and beyond. We align landing pages, editorial content, and video marketing into unified strategies that build awareness and drive conversions.
Full transparency on every campaign we run across the region. We measure what counts — conversions, revenue, and acquisition cost — and present it in clear monthly reports that inform your next move.
The North East is one of the UK’s most exciting business regions. With the North East Combined Authority driving investment, new infrastructure projects underway, and a tech sector that’s growing faster than the national average, the opportunity is enormous — but only for businesses with a digital strategy sharp enough to capture it.
We’re a North East agency that works with North East businesses — from Tyneside tech firms to Teesside manufacturers. We combine deep regional knowledge with the same calibre of strategy you’d expect from a London agency, at a fraction of the cost.
From Newcastle’s tech corridor to Sunderland’s regeneration zones, Durham’s professional quarter to Teesside’s industrial heartland — we help businesses right across the North East grow online with campaigns rooted in regional insight and powered by hard data.
A four-step process refined over 13+ years and 60+ brands. No fluff — just the work that actually moves the needle in the North East.
We start with a free no-obligation audit. We’ll dig into your current digital marketing performance, your competitors in the North East, and what’s actually possible inside your budget — before anyone signs anything.
We put together a clear plan with realistic targets, costs and timeframes. You see exactly what you’re getting, what we’re measuring, and how we’ll report. No surprises, no upsells you didn’t ask for.
We get on with the work. Direct access to Dave and the team — no account managers, no gatekeepers, no subcontracted offshore studio. Weekly check-ins, monthly reports, and a Slack/WhatsApp channel for quick questions.
The work doesn’t stop at launch. We track what’s working, drop what isn’t, and keep iterating — whether that’s rankings, ad spend, conversion rate, or all three. You get a clear report every month showing what changed and why.
Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Bing Copilot are now answering questions that used to send users to your website. Good digital marketing in 2026 means optimising for AI citation, not just blue links — structured data, semantic clarity, and content that an LLM can lift verbatim.
Five years ago, half the businesses in the North East didn’t take digital marketing seriously. That’s no longer true. Your competitors are spending, learning, and getting better month on month. The cost of doing nothing is now higher than the cost of doing it well.
Modern B2B and B2C buyers don’t just “Google” you any more. They check LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube, Companies House, your reviews, your last three blog posts, and what AI tools say about you — before they ever fill in a contact form. Digital Marketing in 2026 has to cover all those surfaces, not just rankings.
Before you spend a penny — whether with us or anyone else — check whether you’re about to fall into one of these.
Rankings, impressions, followers, traffic — none of these pay the bills. We measure enquiries, qualified leads, revenue. If your agency reports anything else as the headline, ask why.
Cheap packaged digital marketing bundles look like a bargain until you realise every client gets the same playbook. Your business isn’t generic — your strategy shouldn’t be either.
Any agency that needs a year’s commitment to do good work doesn’t trust their own work. Our clients stay because the results are there — not because they’re contractually stuck with us.
Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity are already eating organic traffic. Most agencies haven’t adapted. We optimise for AI citation alongside traditional ranking — one is the future, both matter today.
100-page reports with no story aren’t reporting — they’re cover. Ours fit on one page: what we did, what changed, what’s next. If you want the underlying data, it’s yours to dig into — but the headline tells the story.
Bigger agencies subcontract design to one country, dev to another, content to a third. We don’t. The same team that pitched you does the work — so the strategy you bought is the strategy you get.
Honest answer: it depends. But here’s how we structure things so you know what to expect before the first call.
A fixed-scope piece of work with a defined deliverable — a website rebuild, an SEO audit-and-fix, a brand refresh. Quoted up front, paid 50/50 (deposit + completion). Typical delivery: 2–6 weeks depending on scope.
Ongoing digital marketing, optimisation, reporting and support. Rolling monthly — cancel any time with 30 days’ notice. No 12-month lock-in. You get a real human, a real report, and real changes every month.
For businesses where digital is the front line. Multi-channel programme — digital marketing alongside everything else we do (web, brand, automation, content). Quarterly strategy, monthly delivery, dedicated team. Scoped to your business.
Not sure where you fit? Book a free 30-minute call. We’ll talk through your situation, give you an honest steer on what makes sense for the size of business you are, and you’ll leave with a clear next step — whether that’s working with us, working with someone else, or doing it yourself.
