Venture Stream acquires Newcastle digital marketing firm

Ecommerce specialist web development and digital marketing agency, Venture Stream has acquired fellow Newcastle-based agency Flow Digital Limited for an undisclosed sum.

The deal is part of Venture Stream’s expansion strategy, employing 25 staff with annual billings in excess of £1.3m.

Founded in 2013 by digital entrepreneur Adam McCrory, Flow Digital is known in the market for its SEO and content marketing services.

Victor Morgan, founder and managing director of Venture Steam, said: “There are many parallels between Venture Stream and Flow Digital, not only in the services that we provide.

“It was immediately clear from the first time we met with them that we shared the same values and dedication to delivering excellent results for clients.

“This acquisition is a key part of our ongoing aim to build a leading national digital agency under a group structure that services the spectrum of digital specialisms, all with a commitment to achieve this by investing in the best talent in the sector - and it is on this note that we’re delighted to welcome Flow Digital’s talent to the Venture Stream group.”

Following the acquisition, Venture Stream will continue to operate Flow Digital as a standalone business with its team servicing its customers from Venture Stream’s head office in the city centre.

The deal follows the recent news that Venture Stream was one of the first businesses to secure funding from the new North East Innovation Fund, receiving a £300k investment.
