Marketing communications agency hits £1 million revenue after just 10 months

acceleris marketing communications has broken through the £1 million gross revenue target just ten months after it was launched, picking up more than 20 new clients, five new members of staff and being shortlisted for three major awards along the way.

The agency, which is based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, and is shortly to open in Manchester, provides clients with an integrated portfolio of communications services, including public relations, media relations, digital marketing, media buying and planning, web development, event management and graphic design and production.

The agency is headed by directors Peter Davenport, a former senior journalist with The Times, and Donna Mullin, a media specialist with 15 years experience. Although the newest name on the media and marketing scene in Yorkshire, the agency’s 20 staff share a cumulative total of more than 150 years national and international experience.

Peter Davenport said:

“ From all the available statistics and tables we are one of the fastest growing agencies in Yorkshire and the North of England with a talented team of individuals producing high quality work for an enviable portfolio of clients.

“ We have deliberately kept quiet about ourselves until now because in our industry there are too many agencies shouting very loud about comparatively modest achievements. We have broken through the £1 million gross revenues mark after just ten months and are on target to achieve in excess of £1.2 million by the end of this calendar year and that will surprise a lot of people.”

The agency numbers some well known brands and leading business names on its 60-strong client list, including  brewers Theakstons; Silentnight; the National Federation of ALMOs, the organisation that manages 1 million council houses around the country; the Great Yorkshire Show; law firm Walker Morris; technology company Comtech M2M; Smart & Cook, the UK’s second largest insurance broker; motors.co.uk , the leading on-line motors retailer; Lakeland Ltd; Healthier Weight, the leading weight loss programme; and Citu, the pioneering urban regeneration property developers.

acceleris is part of Acceleris PLC, the northern financial services organisation, which includes Acceleris Corporate Ventures, a specialist in raising funds for early and development stage businesses, and Acceleris Innovations, a company formed to commercialise good ideas and innovative new technology.
