AN East Lancashire digital agency is expected to hit a turnover of more than £1 million for the first time in its history.

21Digital saw its reach grow by 40 per cent in 2021 with confirmed contracts representing a further minimum 40 per cent growth in 2022.

The agency is now planning to grow its customer base nationally in the home and garden sector, which represents more than three quarters of its recent account wins.

It is also set to increase its focus on digital marketing, with SEO (search engine optimisation) and PPC (pay per click) contracts representing a significant proportion of recent and confirmed growth.

21Digital managing director, Sam Fletcher, said: “The last quarter was our best ever in terms of work delivered and new contracts won.

“E-commerce is basically booming after lockdown changed people’s buying habits for good across the world.

"So, there’s a huge thirst in the market for high quality digital marketing services.

“The majority of our new contracts come from client referrals and people seem to appreciate our no-nonsense, goal-focussed approach.

"We’ve got the track record of results to assure customers we can deliver what they need to make a significant impact on their business’s success.

“As a Blackburn agency, we’re proud to fly the flag for Lancashire and prove you don’t necessarily need to go to the big cities for high quality digital marketing.

“Having developed some fantastic case studies in the home and garden sector, we’re now looking to work with more of these types of clients on a national level, while continuing to look after our highly valued local clients in a wide variety of sectors.”

Based at offices on Blackburn’s Trident Park, 21Digital is a multi-award-winning agency specialising in lead generation and ecommerce, providing digital marketing services including web design, web development, SEO, Google Ads, digital consultancy, social media marketing and email marketing.
