Marketing agency eyes leap into Scottish arena

A Newcastle digital marketing agency is eyeing a base in Scotland as it looks set to accelerate its growth plans.

Media works opened an office in Leeds in January, with the Yorkshire team trebling in size over the past six months. The firm acquired media planning and buying specialist Liberty Communications in March.

Chief executive Brett Jacobson said: “After the success of our Yorkshire office and the growth we’ve seen as a result, we’re now looking to open up in the north-west [of England] and Scotland.

“We’re keen to accelerate that activity if the right opportunity to partner with existing businesses in those regions presented itself.

“However, we’re prepared to invest in starting up our own regional outfit from the ground up if necessary.

“Thanks to a very busy first half of the year, despite the impact of Covid-19, we’re in a very strong position to continue our growth through the second half of 2020.”
