Manchester’s Edison Media has been confirmed as the latest Prolific North Partner.
The full-service media agency, specialising in OOH, digital marketing, guerrilla, content creation, and international planning and buying, becomes the ninth company to join the 2025 partnership programme. They join a distinguished group that includes Sun Branding, Embryo, Bruntwood SciTech, Tall and Cornerhouse.
Founded by Nicola Orrell and Jodie Howe in 2019, the agency has grown rapidly to a team of 16, with expertise across key sectors such as retail, public services, health and education. They work with high-profile clients, including JD Sports, Nike, Adidas, the University of Derby, the NHS and Merlin.
Being one of the Prolific North Partners will give the agency a variety of opportunities across the year, including taking part in key industry events and supporting its mission to celebrate, connect and inform the North’s creative and digital industries.
Nicola Orrell, Managing Director, said: “For the first four years of our business, we kept our heads down, worked incredibly hard, and made as little noise as possible.
“But last year, we realised it was time to be proud – proud of the work we do, the clients we collaborate with, and the people who make Edison Media what it is today.
“The next natural step for us was to partner with Prolific North, an organisation that has championed Northern businesses, including us, from the very beginning. We’re honoured to stand alongside them as we continue to build and strengthen the Northern industry together.”
Following several successful tender wins in recent months, the organisation has expanded its team to strengthen its international department. With growth already underway in 2025, they are actively seeking new talent to join their ever-growing team. For more information, please reach out via email at [email protected].
