Newcastle agency marks decade of growth

A marketing business is celebrating a milestone anniversary with ambitions for further growth.

Newcastle-based Bumbl has reached its ten-year anniversary, marking a decade of expansion from a one-person startup into an award-winning agency with a global client base. 

Founded in 2015 by Greg Miles, the company is now headquartered on the city’s Quayside, working with brands across multiple sectors.

Its portfolio spans global names such as Nike, Bandai Namco and Tommee Tippee, alongside major regional organisations including Northumbria University and Newcastle Building Society.

Greg said: Greg said: “Bumbl has come a long way since I launched the company from my parents-in-laws' sofa as a 22-year-old with no resources and no connections.

“We’ve had some public highlights like working with category-defining brands and winning a global award, but the biggest achievement is perseverance. 

“There’s no finish line, only possibility, every day. 

“The journey is the real reward.”

Bumbl’s reputation was cemented in 2023 when it was named ‘Best Small Agency’ at the Global Social Media Awards, recognising the creativity and international reach of its work.

The anniversary milestone signals a future-focused vision for the business as it looks to build on its success and continue delivering campaigns with impact both in the UK and overseas.

Lois Miles, creative director at Bumbl, added: “We’re beyond grateful to all of our clients, team, collaborators, suppliers and everyone who has supported us over the past decade.”

Greg added: “The pace of change in technology can create a tug-of-war between apprehension and excitement, but my philosophy is to go with the flow rather than resist.

“In marketing, this new era has already unlocked creative possibilities that were only accessible with a big-brand budget a matter of months ago. 

“Our goal is to keep pushing what’s possible. 

“We’re excited to see where the next ten years take us.”
