Creative Marketing Services

Founded in Leeds in 1982, this agency has built brands for both B2B and direct-to-consumer clients longer than any other marketing agency in the city, now with a presence in London as well. It describes itself as a performance marketing agency at heart, which shows in how PPC and search work sit alongside branding, web design, and PR rather than as separate add-ons.

The agency's team includes several web developers and senior SEO specialists, plus in-house marketing and viral video makers, covering technical SEO audits, Google Ads setup and management, and organic social and influencer management under one roof. Branding and logo design projects sit alongside website design work, while media relations extends into press clippings and event support. Recruitment marketing and advertising round out the client-facing services, and above-the-line planning, including TV advertising and media planning, gives the agency reach beyond digital channels alone.

The breadth of disciplines, from technical SEO audits to TV media planning, reflects a client base that spans consumer and business audiences and needs more than a single-channel campaign. Press clippings and event support point to ongoing PR relationships rather than one-off announcements, while the recruitment advertising offer suggests work with organisations hiring at scale. The agency also notes it operates as an LGBTQ+ friendly and transgender-safe workplace, a detail that speaks to its internal culture as much as its client work.
