Preston web agency announces record results following acquisition

Chorley-based digital marketing agency Bespoke has reported record results following its acquisition by Manchester-based Digital Media Stream last year. 

Bespoke, founded back in 2001, has grown steadily since becoming one of the first agencies to provide web design in Preston, and is now established as a leading north-west B2B digital marketing agency. The agency, which also has offices in Manchester and London, won a Sunday Times Best Places to Work award this year, along with the successful renewal of its Investors in People accreditation.

Digital Media Stream acquired Bespoke in 2023 to bolster their own website design and development offering. The new structure has seen turnover from website and marketing retainer bookings increase by 11 per cent year on year, with a similar increase in profits. 

Bespoke co-founder and CEO Steve Brennan said: “We met lots of companies who were interested in acquiring Bespoke, and received several offers, but Digital Media Stream was our clear preferred option. 

“The partnership is a win for all parties. Bespoke’s clients benefit from DMS’s extensive Hubspot expertise, and we bring bespoke website development and digital marketing capabilities to their clients. 

“We had a sensible integration plan that would benefit clients of both companies, and it has delivered the expected results for the business, and our clients.”
