Big Black Door, the FMCG agency founded by Weetabix’s former Head of Marketing says it’s expanding after exceeding targets.
Gareth Turner set up the agency 18 months ago and said it was now on track to reach £250k turnover, this time next year.
That comes following a number of new clients wins, including The Wine Society, the oldest member-owned wine community in the world.
The Leeds agency has been brought in to refine its brand positioning and long-term marketing strategy.
“I’ve proudly been a member of the Wine Society since 2012, when it was my leaving gift from Heineken, and I have gifted membership myself a couple of times since,” explained Turner.
“This brief is a perfect example of the two reasons I created Big Black Door; to make a significant difference to businesses I admire, and to work with good people. I can’t wait to get started.”
Turner has also recruited a new Lead Consultant, Vicky Murray.
Murray has 15 years experience in brand marketing, insight and strategy at companies including Bettys & Taylors of Harrogate, and Ainsley Harriott Foods.
Murray worked with Turner for more than a decade at Arla Foods.
“It’s a brilliant time to join Big Black Door. The business is motoring and I’m so lucky to work with such a great team of BBDers and client partners. The projects so far have been so much fun that they can barely be described as work! I’m looking forward to helping our business and our clients’ businesses flourish.” said Murray, who becomes its second permanent staff member.
