Impression listed as a top 3 search agency in The Drum’s Top 100 list.
Nottingham based digital marketing agency Impression has been named in the top 3 search marketing agencies in the UK, according to a new list from The Drum.
The list, which was released today, is based on the ratings and feedback given by clients to their agencies. Unlike other lists of this kind for which agencies might apply, the agencies themselves play no part in the nomination process for the Drum Top 100.
Sam Scott, Assistant Publisher at The Drum: “The Drum has long championed the UK’s independent agencies, which collectively make an enormous contribution to the creative industries. Great independent agencies often offer outstanding levels of skill and attentiveness, delighting clients and driving up standards. This Top 100 is a recognition of independent agencies that have performed well across our comprehensive measures – taking financial performance, awards wins, and client satisfaction into account.”
Impression was also named in the top 7 marketing agencies overall, acknowledging excellence in SEO, digital PR, content marketing, PPC, web design and web development. This is taken from the Drum list:
“Impression is a digital marketing agency that specialises in SEO, PR, PPC, content marketing and web design in Nottingham and London. It has worked with clients including Experian, Company Check and Carsnip and has grown from a staff of 15 digital marketing specialists to 22 over the past 12 months. Impression emerged as the third-best search agency in our research, and had the seventh RAR ranking overall.”
Speaking of the ranking, Impression’s managing director Aaron Dicks said: “It’s a huge accolade for us to be rated amongst the UK’s very best search marketing agencies, and is testament to the incredible work done by the team here.
“Nottingham isn’t necessarily recognised as a leader in digital marketing – yet. It’s more common for people to cite London, Leeds or Manchester as digital hubs. But we believe Nottingham is on the cusp of a digital boom, with new agencies growing here, established agencies moving into the area and in-house team investing heavily in their digital strategies, too.
“To be listed in the Drum Top 100 list is something we’re very proud of here at Impression, and something Nottingham more widely can be proud of as recognition of the digital excellence we’re seeing in the area.”
Impression’s digital marketing team has grown significantly in recent months in response to growing demand for their search engine optimisation and paid advertising services. As a Google Premier Partner agency, Impression is a leading figure in digital marketing in the East Midlands and beyond. They employed their first member of staff in July 2014 and today, they employ more than 30 digital professionals.
The agency recently celebrated a win in the European Search Awards, the RAR Digital Awards and shortlists in the UK Agency Awards and UK Biddable Media Awards.
Laura Hampton, Impression’s marketing manager, said: “We operate in an incredibly competitive market – both here in Nottingham and beyond. For us, the differentiating factor isn’t so much the services we offer, but the way we deliver them.
“Our focus is very much on taking a data-driven, scientific approach to achieving outstanding results for our clients. We see the output of this in the long-term relationships we’re therefore able to build with our clients, as well as the speed with which we are able to grow. To be recognised in reports like the Drum Top 100 is a fantastic accolade.”
Impression is currently on track to deliver on some very ambitious growth targets. They work closely with a number of Nottinghamshire organisations and support networks to provide digital marketing services to businesses across our region and beyond. They also invest in graduate retention for the area, through their prestigious digital marketing graduate scheme and through various work experience initiatives. Impression is currently hiring for a range of roles at their Nottingham HQ.
