A MARKETING agency shortlisted for an award is celebrating two years of supporting Warrington businesses.

real5 Digital, set up by Stacey Whitney in June 2020 and based on Wilson Patten Street, provides a friendly and approachable service that could help businesses of all shapes and sizes to succeed in a modern business climate.

Two years on, the company has been shortlisted for the best start-up Agency at the UK Digital Growth Awards and now has a team of six full-time staff.

Stacey, who has 10 years of experience in marketing, said: “Some of us in the office have been on the client side of hiring marketing support, as well as working for various agencies ourselves.

“Because of this, we are truly able to put ourselves in the customer's shoes and ask ourselves what we would expect from a marketing partner.

“We know from our experience that businesses want to work with an agency that they can trust to represent their company with content that captures the imagination of their potential customers and clients. We pride ourselves on delivering marketing strategies that get to the heart of what each business is about and finding rewarding strategies with a genuine return on their marketing spend”.

real5 has worked with several high-profile clients since its inception including Warrington BID, Rylands FC, Golden Square, Radio Warrington, Warrington Borough Council and Warrington Wolves Foundation.

Negin Karimi, who heads up the digital marketing team at real5 Digital, said: “It's lovely to be part of a company that genuinely cares about seeing our clients succeed.

“No two campaigns are the same and part of my job is ensuring that the content we create is engaging and worthwhile, that generates interest from the right people for the business we're creating it for.”
