Digital marketing company recognised for outstanding organic growth
London, 12th November 2009 –
dotDigital Group PLC has won the Business Link Growth Strategy of the Year Award at the 2009
National Business Awards. The full service digital marketing company, which is quoted on the PLUS market, was recognised for its organic growth strategy that has achieved outstanding levels of sales, profit and market share improvement.
The
dotDigital Group has recently announced strong growth figures for 2008-09, despite a challenging economic climate. The Group revealed a revenue increase of 91% to £4.7m, driven by an aggressive expansion and new business strategy. Customer numbers increased 113% from 1,072 to 2,282 over the last 14 months, with the Group adding a roster of high profile clients including DHL, Kodak, Nationwide and EDF Energy.
Peter Simmonds, CEO of dotDigital Group PLC, said: “In a competitive industry sector, we have consistently demonstrated that we can grow our business by recognising and servicing the needs of our clients and customers. This award is recognition that our team of digital marketing experts have been able to deliver products and services that offer fantastic ROI and stand up against our competitors.”
Over the last three years, the dotDigital Group PLC has transformed itself from a niche website design agency and email service provider into one of the UK’s leading full service digital marketing agencies. In that time, a series of new business units have been created and the Group is now made up of four main brands:
dotMailer,
dotCommerce, dotEditor and
dotAgency.
Philip Forrest, Chairman of Judges, The National Business Awards, said: “It was a close call, but dotDigital beat out other organisations for The Growth Strategy of the Year Award, with its bold strategy and excellent presentation. The judges agreed dotDigital had a clear integrated strategy which made their proposition attractive to all stakeholders, in turn providing a platform for strong continuous growth.”
Ray Lambe, Deputy Programme Director, businesslink.gov.uk said: "Business Link is very proud to be presenting the growth strategy award to dotDigital. Companies like dotDigital that are looking to take their business to the next level can often benefit from objective external advice and guidance to help accelerate growth and make the most out of every possible opportunity."
