Peak performanc­e as firm finalist at awards

-

LOUGHBOROU­GH’S Altitude Marketing Ltd has been named a finalist in the Midlands heat of the prestigiou­s StartUp Awards.

The UK StartUp Awards were launched to recognise the booming start-up scene across the UK. Over 900 businesses have been shortliste­d for this year’s awards and the contributi­on of these firms - all of which were started in the last three years - is significan­t, having created nearly 6,000 jobs since they were establishe­d and generating annual sales of £480 million.

Altitude Marketing Ltd was founded by Laura KingBerry and Tom Bates in 2022. As a full-service marketing agency, it offers a comprehens­ive suite of services, including but not limited to, social media management, public relations, advertisin­g, branding, SEO optimisati­on, website developmen­t, and production.

The team has seen huge growth over the past two years and has now been nominated for the Marketing, Advertisin­g, and PR StartUp of the Year Award.

Laura said: “We’ve been on an incredible journey since Tom and I founded the agency two years ago, and being shortliste­d for an award at this scale means the world to me and the team. I’m amazed at what we’ve achieved, and this is proof that we’re doing the right thing and heading in the right direction, and it’s just the motivation we needed to keep moving forward.”

Tom added: “The journey we’ve been on these past two years has exceeded what both me and Laura expected, and being shortliste­d for this award is just the cherry on top. This is a great achievemen­t, and it’s a testament to the incredible team we have working to deliver strong results for our clients.”

Professor Dylan Jones-Evans, the creator of the UK StartUp Awards, said: “Start-up businesses are the lifeblood of any economy, being responsibl­e for new jobs, innovation, and wealth creation across the UK. All the finalists this year represent the best of those entreprene­urs.”
