And the winner is … Ascensor!
We’re delighted to announce that the A Team was named Integrated Agency of the Year at the recent Northern Digital Awards.
Held at the Royal Armouries in Leeds, the Northern Digital Awards recognise the best in digital marketing, shining a spotlight on standout campaigns and talent and rewarding agencies across a wide range of online sectors.
We took home the Integrated Agency of the Year title after a stellar 2020-2021 period, and the award is testament to the outstanding results we’ve achieved for our clients.
Our agency is conversion-driven and regardless of which service or product we’re providing, we ensure that your outcomes are in line with your business aims.
Our integrated approach to web services, digital marketing, innovation, strategy and insights helped turn around businesses impacted by the effects of the pandemic and Brexit and safeguarded jobs.
We set ambitious targets and grew revenue by 55 per cent, from £2.2 to £3.5m, focusing on existing client relationships and creating new opportunities. We generated more than £15m in revenue for clients and grew the A Team from 30 to 40, supported by four acquisitions in 15 months, strengthening our market position and capabilities in software development, digital marketing and SEO.
As well as investing extra resources and personnel in testing and account management we also set up an innovation team and are now dedicating more than 250 hours every month to investigating new technologies.
We were also shortlisted in the Best Digital Marketing Campaign - B2C category for our work with Raithwaite Sandsend, a unique luxury hotel near Whitby in North Yorkshire.
It was great to celebrate at the ceremony with the Raithwaite team after our digital campaign achieved 1,800% ROI and 99.5% room occupancy by driving direct bookings to improve margins and decrease commissions for online travel agents.
The Integrated Agency of the Year title comes after Ascensor were named as the Best Large Digital Agency at the Northern Digital Awards in 2021, and we're thrilled to have our awesome team gain recognition once again.
Ascensor MD Andrew Firth said: “We’re delighted to be acknowledged for our extensive digital work, which has helped our multi sector clients to achieve outstanding profitability. "We are a conversion-driven agency that is 100% committed to delivering clients their ambitious business targets.”
