An award-winning digital marketing agency has doubled its footprint in the city by moving into a new office following a period of rapid growth both in headcount and new clients.
Alphageek Digital has moved into Century House, in St James’ Court, after expanding its team to 20 members of staff – a growth of 33% in the last six months.
Making the move to the 167 sq m office space is allowing the firm, which offers online advertising, pay-per-click campaigns, web design and development, content creation and brand amplification services, to increase its client portfolio further.
Alphageek currently looks after the online activity for around 50 companies in four continents across a range of industries including Derby-based Project D, restaurant chain Tamatanga and international brands HUUB, Casio and Do Not Age.
The new office space has the capacity for the firm, which is run by three friends Art Lindop, Alex Mills and Kieran Flynn, to expand on to the next floor meaning it can continue its push to be at the top of its industry in five years’ time.
Operations director Kieran said: “This move is another positive step forward in our development as a business and because we are committed to growing the firm sustainably, and attracting the best talent to serve our clients, having more space at our disposal means we are ready to hit the ground running when we recruit.
“We have an ongoing commitment to providing a high-quality and collaborative working environment for colleagues and this new space gives us several offices as well as an area for downtime and even has space for our table tennis table.
“We want our people and clients to come and experience the refreshing culture that we’ve built and the new premises helps this to thrive further as we’ve made it our own.
“We are all ready to write the next chapter in Alphageek’s story. We’re really proud that Derby has the fastest-growing economy of any city in the East Midlands, and it has a growing reputation as a centre of excellence for technology.
“It’s a really exciting time for us. We are still recruiting for more staff and have just landed one of the most exciting projects we’ve ever been able to work on, which will be announced in the next few weeks.”
Originally set up in 2019, Alphageek’s first big client was Casio, for which it has achieved over £5m worth of online sales for its iconic G-SHOCK watches, which are beloved of celebrities including Eminem, John Mayer and Ed Sheeran.
The firm is being advised by experts from Ascend, an initiative offered by Derby City Council to assist the most promising city businesses to prepare and implement growth plans.
Kieran added: “It’s been an exciting journey so far for Alphageek and one to follow for more impressive updates in the coming months.”
