Helping UK SMEs unlock the value of digital advertising

Today in collaboration with our client IAB UK, we've launched a tool to help UK SMEs unlock the value of digital advertising for their brand, products and services in order to drive more sales, raise awareness of their company and help them succeed.

In June 2020 IAB UK published a research piece "Powering Up". Drawing on evidence from nearly 1,200 UK SMEs, "Powering Up" explores how small businesses are using digital advertising, where they feel it excels and where more support is needed from the digital industry to help the market’s recovery in the wake of COVID-19.

Powering Up: Helping UK SMEs unlock the value of digital advertising

The tool was born out of one of the core pieces of feedback the research found being that SMEs need a tailored, interactive experience to help them discover why digital advertising is effective for reaching their customers and building brands.

The tool has two primary objectives:

Encourage SMEs who currently don’t invest in digital advertising to take their first steps
Empower SMEs who already spend on digital advertising to discover new channels and to use it more effectively

We continue to work with IAB UK on a rich roadmap of feature improvements for their website.

Econsultancy Top 100 Agency

We’re proud to announce that we feature in Econsultancy’s Top 100 Digital Agencies Report.

The Econsultancy Top 100 report is an independent overview of the most significant digital agency players in the UK. The report lists the top 100 Digital Marketing, Design and Build, Technical and Creative Agencies ranked based on their total UK fee income from digital marketing.

Quick stats at-a-glance;

23rd in agencies a decade old
53rd in independently owned agencies
57th in "full service and marketing” agencies
98th of all UK digital agencies on the list

Founder and Managing Director Jonathan Smith commented; "All credit to the team for our debut on the Top 100 list. We're significantly punching above our weight as an agency of around 30 people to be featured alongside big consultancies Accenture Interactive, SapientRazorfish and IBM, and large digital shops like DigitasLBi, AKQA and Zone.

We think of ourselves as small but perfectly formed, and Econsultancy bill the list as 'the definitive listing of the UK's largest digital agencies'. With Accenture Interactive in the top spot with £284,660,000 of UK fee income, it's little surprise Catch comes in at #98 overall!

With so much incredible work in the pipeline, multiple DADI nominations, and significant pitch wins recently with Worldpay and Watford FC, I’m looking forwards to the coming year with our fantastic team".
