Success in lockdown for Visibilis as it adds new clients and staff

THE LEEDS-BASED digital marketing agency Visibilis yesterday revealed it had welcomed six new clients and hired more staff as it continued to grow during the lockdown.

The agency, which was founded in 2011 by Ben Wolfenden, predominantly offers search marketing services and counts the retailers Kiddies Kingdom and Terrys Fabrics among its client base.

Visibilis’ new clients include the software companies Linaro and Kallidus. The agency’s headcount has grown with seven new members coming on board since lockdown began.

Mr Wolfenden’s wife, Daisy, who is the firm’s managing director, said: “We’ve seen enquiries spike from businesses who pre-pandemic were more reliant on their physical presence and offline activity such as events to make sales.

“We’ve been able to help them quickly adapt and diversify their marketing strategies to focus on their digital channels and this is really where Visibilis excels.”

Mrs Wolfenden added: “We’re an agile team meaning we can be responsive to changing business needs, and we really love working as though we’re a part of our clients’ teams. A lot of our past experience is helping businesses to get started with digital marketing and helping them grow online across multiple channels.”

She added: “We’re so pleased to have welcomed these clients in the past few months and we’ve no doubt we’ll enjoy strong partnerships with them. A third of our existing client base has been with us for over three years and it’s creating these lasting successful relationships with clients that sits at the core of why Visibilis was founded.”

Mr Wolfenden said: “Obviously no business knew what the immediate future had in store for them when lockdown began and it was a really worrying time for everyone.

“But our virtual pitches have really hit the mark and we’re pleased that we’ve still been able to demonstrate how we work as one cohesive unit despite not being in one room.”

He added: “We absolutely put our success down to the unwavering determination and expertise of our team.”
