CEO Rob Shaw said: “2014 has been a year that we’ll never forget. Becoming Jaywing’s search specialist, working with dozens of new colleagues across the business and extending our relationship with key clients such as Waterstones have put us in an exciting position going into the New Year.”
Epiphany has also extended its relationship with Waterstones, meaning it will retain responsibility for the retailer’s integrated SEO, PPC and programmatic advertising strategy.
Emma Grinter, senior online marketing manager at Waterstones, said: “We’ve been working with Epiphany since 2011. Online channels are a vital part of our business and I’m pleased that Epiphany is able to integrate our SEO strategy with programmatic advertising and display, building on our successful relationship in search”.
Epiphany says it is continuing to recruit into the New Year and is also exploring additional premises on Leeds’ south bank.
