Stockport-based agency Dawn has closed out 2025 with a trio of new SEO client wins, following the launch of its SEO service earlier this year.
The agency has been appointed by animation studio Tracks and Layers, workplace safety specialist Vita Safety, and commercial refrigeration supplier CaterFridge, as demand increases for search to play a central role in wider digital strategy and performance.
SEO was introduced as an extension of Dawn’s existing brand, website and motion services, responding to growing client demand for long-term visibility, lead generation and online performance.
David O’Hearns, founder and creative director at Dawn, said: “We added SEO to strengthen the work we already deliver, not to operate it as a separate service. Clients want everything aligned- brand, website and search working together to drive growth.”
The three appointments reflect a mix of creative, professional and industrial sectors and point to a broader shift away from isolated SEO delivery toward more integrated digital partnerships.

“Clients aren’t looking for ‘SEO packages’ anymore,” O’Hearns added. “They want clarity, accountability and results. The wins we’ve seen are coming from taking a joined-up approach.”
The new contracts cap a year which has also seen team expansion, service development and the delivery of multiple large-scale brand and website projects for clients across the UK.
Alongside the agency’s growth, Dawn has also continued to build BHOST, its operated managed WordPress hosting brand. BHOST specialises in secure, performance-led hosting and site management for agencies and in-house teams and provides secure, reliable and performance-focused hosting for agencies and in-house teams who need specialist technical support and dependable infrastructure for business-critical websites.
“It’s been an important year for us,” said O’Hearns. “We’ve strengthened what we offer and built momentum that’s carrying into next year.”
Dawn delivers brand strategy, visual identity, motion design, and website design and development for growing brands across a range of sectors. Its clients range from creative and professional services businesses to product-led and industrial brands, helping organisations strengthen how they present themselves, perform online and grow sustainably.
