Bath ad agency overcomes launch in lockdown to celebrate its first 18 months in business

A Bath-headquartered specialist advertising agency that launched last year just as the UK was plunged into lockdown is marking its first 18 months of trading by opening satellite offices in Bristol and Belfast. 

Fueld Media’s client base and staffing levels have exceeded founders Oliver Brightman and Russell Gregory’s expectations since it started trading in February 2020. 

Specialising in digital marketing, the agency helps businesses increase the quality and quantity of inbound inquiries by using a mixture of digital marketing, advertising and social media. 

Its team uses omni-channel marketing across paid and organic channels and also offers creative and website design.

Oliver previously worked for Bristol-based Vouchercloud – the UK’s first money-saving app – and was the South West rep for London-based digital marketing agency Climb Online, which was set up by The Apprentice winner Mark Wright and backed by Alan Sugar.

Russell left a prominent position at online marketing group Yell to help set up Fueld Media.

Oliver said: “The past 18 months have been quite the rollercoaster ride. 

“When many businesses went into hibernation ours took off and hasn’t stopped growing. We’ve won a number of new clients, taken on additional team members and have opened offices in Bristol and Belfast to better service our clients in those regions.

“Unlike other advertising agencies, we talk in clear business terms without the technical language, which can often lead to confusion, lack of trust and credibility. Our solution delivers the needed clarity for online marketing activities.”

Russell added: “Ecommerce is a growing sector for us, which, seeing as the retail landscape has changed beyond all measure, is no real surprise. 

“Some of the businesses we work with have had to pivot to online retail incredibly quickly and we were able to meet this challenge head on. We’re looking forward to seeing what the next 18 months has in store for us!”
