Leeds digital agency celebrates “exceptional growth” amid eight-figure turnover

Leeds based digital agency, 26, part of MSQ, has recorded its strongest year to date, with an annual turnover of £21.5m (a 48 per cent increase YoY) alongside 31 per cent profit growth.

It has welcomed several new clients to its roster in recent months including Mitchells & Butlers, Brasserie Bar Co, Ted Baker, Hamleys, WatchShop and Pearson, which have tapped into the agency’s specialisms across media and digital experience.

The agency continues to build on partnerships with Wilko, Asda Money, CIPD and Baringa, which are among its current clients.

Underpinned by an 18-year legacy and 130-strong team, the business has made a number of significant investments to continue to enhance performance for its clients, elevate the employee experience and attract the UK’s “most ambitious” brands.

The agency has “challenged convention” by embracing cross-functional teams as part of an agile transformation programme that puts strategy first to drive collaboration, efficiency and value-add for its clients.

26 has expanded its footprint into Manchester, revamped its Leeds city centre offices at the start of this year and continues to invest heavily in its people and their development. This has culminated in 26 featuring in the UK’s Top 25 Best Mid-Size Companies to Work For in 2023.

Following this significant period of evolution and growth, 26 has invested heavily in its own identity and positioning and unveiled a new website this week.

Ryan Scott, CEO at 26, commented: “We’re delighted with our businesses performance over the last 12 months, what we’ve achieved in the face of a tough industry environment is exceptional and is a testament to all the work our people put in every day for our clients.

“Our brand evolution is an exciting next chapter and I look forward to further success over the coming years.”
