Rapid Riser award for Creative Pod

Growth and sustainability recognised at Sussex Chamber’s inaugural awards.

Creative Pod was recognised during an awards ceremony at Buxted Park Hotel last month.

The event was staged to celebrate the success of local businesses over the last year, with categories focusing on equality, sustainable business models and community engagement – to name just a few.

The full-service marketing, design and print agency was singled out for recognition for its exceptional levels of growth with a strong plan for sustainable financial performance.  

Having grown from nine employees in 2020 to now 25, the company has almost tripled in size, as well as actioning internal promotions, dealing with mergers and acquisitions, and working with more businesses than ever. 

This award is seen as another achievement to add to other accolades. It won the ‘Creative Design and Marketing’ award in March at the Gatwick Diamond Business Awards, was County Business Clubs’ ‘Sales and Marketing’ award for two years running and become a Drum Recommended marketing agency this year too. 

Matt Turner, CEO of Creative Pod, said: “We’re delighted to have won the Rapid Riser award from the Sussex Chamber of Commerce. This achievement is a testament to our growth – in employees, in clients, in achievements, and financially too. It feels wonderful to be recognised by such a prestigious body and to be highlighted for the hard work the team puts in. A huge thanks to the chamber for this accolade!”

Creative Pod is based in Crawley and is celebrating its 16th year in business.
