Bolton marketing agency The Underdog Agency is celebrating a raft of new client wins including local Darwen fabric shop Mimi and Bee, award-winning school lettings provider Vivify Venues, world renowned health experts WalkActive by Joanna Hall and Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions.
The new clients join a roster that already includes the likes of Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle, Guinness Foreign Export, swim!, and Becky Adlington Swim School
The agency was set up during lockdown in 2020 by husband-and-wife duo Becky and Craig Battersby and now employs six full-time staff, along with a selection of specialist freelancers. It offers the full spectrum of marketing services from strategy and consultancy to delivery of SEO, paid ads, content and social media – last year it was recognised as one of Prolific North’s Best Small Marketing Agencies of 2023.
Director Becky Battersby said: “We are thrilled to welcome these new clients into the The Underdog Agency, it is great to continue to help so many new companies continue to grow and be successful despite some of the challenges that some UK businesses have faced in the last 12 months. Many of our clients are focussed on their social impact and sustainability at the moment, which also aligns really nicely with the way we run The Underdog Agency. It also gives us a brilliant platform to tell their story to a wider audience and help them to continue grow their business.”
“It’s great to have national household names on the roster, but we’re proud being North West based and love to support local business too. We look forward to continuing to support businesses in the North West, and beyond, in making their marketing work harder to get their brand out to the world.”
One celebrity client sitting in the Venn diagram intersection between North West business and household name, Olympic medallist and World Champion Gymnast, and Beth Tweddle Gymnastics director, Beth Tweddle OBE, added: “We chose to partner with The Underdog Agency as they have a proven track record of delivering results in similar businesses. We found them to be an approachable, fast-working team, something very important in our industry.
“Straight from the offset they understood what we wanted to achieve and helped us to initially identify areas of improvement within our marketing strategy.”
