Fledgling firm remains calm despite rapid growth

WEB agency Calm Digital has predicted a turnover of £350k for its second year of trading after a rapid period of month-on-month growth.

The firm, which is based in the award-winning Boho One, in Middlesbrough, was established by a group of six shareholders in 2009 and has rapidly grown into one of the region’s leading web and creative agencies.

The company has recently won a number of contracts, including a project worth £60k to help Peak Partnerships, a Yorkshire-based healthcare improvement company, to create innovative and interactive e-learning online and mobile applications.

The team - which has more than 68 years combined experience in the industry - is made up of finance director Phil Allick, project director Bianca Robinson, technical director Andy Murphy, web developer Daniel Askwith and graphic designer Danielle Bloom.

“Our rapid growth is a real testament to the hard work and determination of the whole team,” said Miss Robinson. “Together we collectively make decisions on all aspects of the business and everyone has creative input into every project.

“As shareholders we all have incredible motivation to make Calm Digital the North East’s leading creative agency within five years. At present we are delighted to be competing with the region’s largest companies for contracts and on some occasions beating them but we want to be regarded as the number one.”

Calm Digital offers a range of services, including branding, website design and development, digital marketing, web optimisation, social media, viral campaigns, design for marketing and creative campaigns.
