Hide AdBig’s Manchester office, which opened in 2015, has doubled profits in the last year after new wins including packaging specialist API Group, planning consultancy Turley and an expanded remit with legal firm Addleshaw Goddard to support its Manchester and Leeds offices.
Director Allan Barr said: “Winning more integrated accounts, where we combine digital, marketing, design and PR, has significantly boosted performance this year.
“As well as new account wins, we’ve expanded the range of services we provide to existing clients, which has made a major contribution to fee income.
He added: “We have a hugely talented team which works incredibly hard for clients and it’s important that they share in the success of the business, so we’re genuinely thrilled to be paying out our largest-ever staff bonus across the entire company.”
Big expects to increase headcount “significantly” over the next year, particularly in digital, design, and strategy roles.
