The Market Creative set to double in size

The Market Creative is set to double in size following a series of new business wins, marking the company’s best year yet.

Over the last six months the retail marketing agency has grown its existing client base and won several new clients including Grafton Merchanting GB, Thomas Sanderson, PZ Cussons, The Fine Bedding Company, Rest Assured and Shipton and Co.

As a result, the company has appointed a new account manager and is adding three new hires to its account handling and creative teams over the next few months. To accommodate the expanding team, The Market Creative is looking to move from its offices on Third Avenue in Trafford Park to a more creative space in Salford Quays or Media City.

Kathryn Wilday recently joined the company as account manager working on Shiptons, Rest Assured and Graftons. She has seven years marketing experience and her previous role was working as a freelance account manager for BJL and Creative Spark.

Account director Adam Tregaskis has been promoted to head of retail where he will oversee client services and be responsible for business development.

Sue Benson, managing director at The Market Creative said: “By the end of our financial year in June we are on track for more than doubling the turnover and profit, in just one year. We put this down to having successfully carved out a niche and to our in-depth grasp of our clients businesses. We mostly operate at board level, talking their language rather than from just a marketing perspective. This gives us a thorough understanding of our clients’ business and helps to set us apart from other agencies.”

“Despite the well reported suffering high street, some retailers and brands in retail spaces are getting it right and as a result are extremely buoyant. I feel that it is an exciting time for retail at the moment and we are in a strong position to continue to capitalise on this demanding and fast changing market.”
