Leeds and London based digital marketing agency completes “valuable” acquisition

Creode, a Leeds and London based digital marketing agency, has announced the acquisition of Blue Digital, a Leeds based digital agency specialising in website design and development, SEO and paid search management.

This is a strategic acquisition that allows Creode to strengthen its broader digital offering and better serve its clients by incorporating Blue Digital’s expertise in digital marketing into its “already robust” suite of services.

The terms of the deal are undisclosed, but both Creode and Blue Digital are confident that the merger will bring significant benefits to both companies, as well as to their clients.

The acquisition will allow Creode to provide a wider range of services and help the agency achieve its ambitious business goals after a period of organic growth in the last 6 months.

Guy Weston, CEO of Creode, commented: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Blue Digital to the Creode family. Their expertise in specific areas of digital marketing will be a valuable asset and will help us implement our continuous improvement approach to the greater benefit of our clients.”

Blue Digital commercial director, Mark Ambler, added: “Joining forces with Creode will allow us to better serve our clients and take our digital marketing efforts to the next level in terms of the wider range of expertise we can offer. We are excited to be a part of such a dynamic and driven agency.”

The acquisition completed this week and both companies are said to be “looking forward” to working together with the aim of offering more expertise and more services across the marketing mix to their clients.

Creode has offices in London and Leeds, and works with clients such as Asda, Skipton Building Society, Vivienne Westwood, Scope, Virgin Media, The Spectator, Sipsmith and Channel 5’s The Gadget Show.
