D&M acquires local agency

Barrowford-based design agency D&M Creative has acquired Stoked Marketing of Colne.

Formed in 2002 in Burnley by Damian Greenwood and Morgan Rothwell, D&M has built a strong reputation in sectors such as hospitality, manufacturing and professional services.

The acquisition strengthens the design and technical development teams at D&M, as well as bringing across the many clients Stoked has worked with over the last five years.

Morgan Rothwell said: "We’re delighted to have been able to complete this deal. Stoked have built a great reputation and share many of our values.

"The acquisition has given us some very talented new team members and lots of great opportunities to expand the services we offer. It’s especially great news for our customers who will benefit from the broadened skill base and greater capacity."

Damian Greenwood said: "We’ve been searching for the right opportunity for many years, we had a great synergy with Stoked from our initial discussions and it’s been a pleasure to work with them. This aligns our agency perfectly now to deliver World-class creative combined with cutting-edge web technology for all of our clients."
