Marketing and PR specialists Inspiration Agency has marked the first anniversary of successfully integrating two other companies – paving the way for 12-months of exponential growth.
Since integrating award-winning companies Darren Northeast PR and Octima Marketing, the Inspiration Agency has grown from 4 to 14 people – with every team member still part of the business a year on.
Over the past 12 months, turnover has risen by 66% and gross profit has increased from 74% to 79%. The agency has secured 27 new clients, hired a Business Development Manager, and launched four new service areas – including PR, Crisis Communications, Award Writing and Launch Campaigns. Meanwhile, website traffic has grown by 53% and staff members have received well-deserved promotions.
To celebrate the milestone, the business held a party at its Bournemouth office on Thursday 23rd October, attended by the agency’s clients, as well as partners and the Inspiration Agency team. Founder and Creative Director Louise Seager delivered a speech reflecting on a “momentous and exciting” 12 months.
Louise Seager, Founder and Creative Director of The Inspiration Agency, said:
“It has been a phenomenal year. When we brought everyone together just over 12 months ago, we hoped it would be the start of something special – and it really was. The team has flourished, our clients have backed us every step of the way, and we’ve had a lot of fun making it happen.
“We’re celebrating this milestone with huge pride and lots of gratitude, and we can’t wait to keep growing and doing brilliant work together.”
Earlier this year, the Inspiration Agency won the Best Merger or Acquisition category at the prestigious 2025 Best Business Awards, recognising the seamless integration.
