Freestyle wins Midlands Company of the Year

We’re extremely pleased to announce that Freestyle Interactive won The Marketing Industry Network’s Midlands Company of the Year Award.

Against the tidal wave of industry-wide belt tightening and significant challenges, Freestyle’s bold moves into 2009 paid off. With a series of prestigious new client wins, growth in our existing client base and innovation in our service offer, we’ve had our most successful year ever.

Andy Wood, Strategy Director at Freestyle, said:
“I’m really proud of the whole agency! We've all had a hand in winning 6 major new accounts over the past 18 months (Massey Ferguson, TNT, City University, Thales, TRW and Lloyds TSB), while most importantly - losing none. I’m especially pleased with this achievement at such a challenging time commercially. Our secret is simple:  we’re always working hard to keep the agency moving forward by challenging our staff to innovate and evolve our service offer. During 2009 we’ve developed a social media marketing, content production and online PR skill set, converting major new business in this area. I’m also especially pleased with our strategy, planning and creative departments, who’ve won ‘lead agency’ pitches developing brand and creative strategy across digital and offline work for the first time in Freestyle’s history. We’ve certainly got a lot to build on in 2010 and I’m really looking forward to working with our teams and clients to take things forward again.”

Straightforward, grown up digital strategy

No matter what the current buzzword in the marketing industry is, we know that success for our clients lies in our ability to look beyond the hype to sound digital strategic marketing solutions.  Rather than just persuade our clients to simply ‘spend’ on new strands of marketing activity, or tick the Twitter box, we’ve taken them on a journey of discovery that leads to solid return on investment.

This no nonsense approach is the reason Richard Draycott, Editor of The Drum, had this to say about us:
“For stopping and thinking, regrouping adding resources, adding new clients, for decent, stable growth and grown up thinking and being an example to others, we’ve awarded Freestyle Interactive ‘Midlands Company of the Year’”.

Managing Director, Suzanne Linton, said:  
“Award-winning digital marketing and creativity does not lie exclusively in the London and SE region - there is a strong community of design, technology and digital communication innovators here in the Midlands region and I believe we should be shouting about it a lot more It was fabulous to receive recognition from our peer network and influential trade bodies like the Marketing Industry Network”.
    
Alan Cooper hasn’t let go of the trophy since the Awards evening, saying, “It’s just what I need – it works really well as a magnifying glass to read the small print in the new client contracts!".
