Built on word of mouth
We believe our people need to think like business owners, immersing themselves in your business and operating as though they are a part of your team – that’s how we build the understanding needed and maintain the focus to make a real difference – to tell your business story in the right way and attract the right audience.
We work with businesses across a range of industries and sectors including manufacturing, technology, health, retail and professional services.
Here’s our story…
Starting with a bang
The Word Agency is launched and is quickly selected to provide consultancy services to clients in manufacturing, recruitment and media.
2019
We’re in demand
As the COVID pandemic hits the UK, The Word Agency is retained by all clients, helping them navigate a changing world and maximising their opportunities.
Our customers now include one of the UK’s biggest media owners and we move to support customers in digital tech.
2020
A growing team
The year starts fast as The Word is retained by a number of clients working in sports retail, professional services and we undertake the rebrand of one of the most fast growing small businesses in East Yorkshire.
With a growing customer base and bigger team, The Word moves into Westwood House, South Cave, a base from which the team are within easy reach of customers right across Yorkshire.
2021
The new office
Word of mouth continues to spread and we become partner to a destination marketing company, an agency of choice for a multi-site health care provider and had the exciting rebrand of a Brewery to deliver. We were proud to also support the charity Ryedale Special Families as they relaunched a key fundraising event, smashing their target by 20%.
Towards the end of the year we were selected as partner to one of Europe’s premier digital technology resellers.
2022
Anticipation
The Word continues to partner with SME businesses where the owners and leadership teams are ambitious, motivated and hands on. We add the most value to organisations that put marketing at the heart of the business and are clear about what they want to achieve. Nothing is more rewarding to our team than knowing we have made a genuine difference.
We welcome the interest of businesses that want to enhance their marketing impact and improve their customer experience.
2023
A huge year
2024 has been a huge year for The Word Agency. A growing team, buying and renovating our new office in South Cave East Yorkshire, winning clients around the world as far afield as Australia and helping our existing clients to thrive in a constantly evolving and sometimes challenging market.
