About ilk Agency

Founded in 1999, ilk is an award-winning integrated marketing agency based in Leeds.

We work with all sorts of clients across all sorts of sectors, and offer expertise right across the marketing spectrum.

With the diversity of our in-house skillsets, our offering is all about integration, collaboration and combination. In other words, we focus on answering the brief rather than selling a service; on finding the most creative solutions to the challenges our clients set us, utilising whatever skillsets, strategies and channels best fit.

It’s an approach that gives us a platform to be creative; to develop compelling concepts, ideas, campaigns and content strategies unlimited by channel or service silos.

Visit and Conference Leeds has had a long standing relationship with ilk Agency stretching over a decade. Through the course of our relationship with ilk, they have become a valued extension of our very small team, delivering successful PR, web and digital marketing support.

We were really impressed with ilk from the moment they pitched for the project. They clearly understood the importance and objectives of the campaign and had some innovative and creative ways to ensure we are able to reach the parents and children who stand to benefit most from the programme. Throughout the campaign the quality of their work has been excellent and we have seen some great results with more children participating in the summer holiday activities.

We recently had the pleasure of working with ilk Agency and couldn't be more impressed with their results. We were very apprehensive about working with another PR Agency because of poor results with other agencies in the past. Despite our incredibly last-minute brief, Ilk turned it around quickly and delivered results we were happy with. Their professionalism, efficiency, and expertise were evident throughout the entire process and we're already looking to plan our next PR campaign with Ilk!

Working with ilk is not like work - it's a truly collaborative, creative process which has yielded outstanding results for a complicated, challenging brief. At every step of the way, they have been supportive and innovative, bringing lots of energy (and a huge amount of fun) to a challenging job - they're a joy to work with.

ilk is a brilliant marketing agency filled with brilliant people! I've worked with them in two different roles and both times they've been great to work with - buzzing with fresh ideas. Most recently they supported us as we launched Tomato Energy's consumer energy services across the UK and within a very tight timescale turned around a successful, engaging campaign! I'd highly recommend getting in touch with them.
