Digital Marketing Agency Rockets to New Heights 

RocketMill, the full-service digital marketing agency that puts people first, is the newly-crowned Company of the Year by Brighton & Hove Business Awards 2019.

The win comes in a succession of other achievements, capping a successful chapter as they reach their 10th anniversary. CEO, Sam Garrity attributes this victory to his team.

“Winning Company of the Year on top of our other awards has rewarded 10 years of hard work for us and our team. Their behaviour creates the culture and changes it every day. Their talent attracts and retains the clients so this award is certainly for all the people at RocketMill.”

Chief Revenue Officer, Ben Garrity continues, said: “It feels special as it’s not a marketing award. It’s for commercial performance, strategic guidance, employee engagement, and CSR.”

RocketMill also recently placed 12th on The Sunday Times 100 Best Small Companies to Work For, have been recognised as one of Campaign’s 50 Best Places to Work, and featured as Number 15 in The Drum’s Top 100 Independent Agencies Census.

Offering a full suite of capabilities across technology, data, insight, strategy, creative and media, RocketMill help businesses implement the right technology, derive the right data from it, deliver strategies founded on this insight, and then activate campaigns via their creative and media teams. This model is trusted by some of the UK’s biggest brands and most ambitious SME’s, with retained clients including National Geographic, Dropbox, Kimberly-Clark and Gatwick Airport.

While they remain steadfast in retaining clients and talent, they also want to attract new clients and new people – but the right ones on both accounts are key.

“Our clients see us as an extension of their internal team; more of an investment than a cost,” the company says.

“We cherish the clients the big agencies neglect, optimising their business not just their marketing. These clients are not affected by trends such as in-housing. They want long term, multiple service line, agency partners.”

Sam and Ben conclude: “To achieve the success our clients need, we’ve always chosen the best people from the get-go.  Some have been with us from the very beginning and we’ve been fortunate enough to be a part of their adventures; seeing the development, marriages, children, promotions. It’s a must and a pleasure for us to look after them.

“After all, creating business value starts with creating value for people – true for our team, our clients and their customers.”
