Web agency reports record results following acquisition

Digital marketing agency Bespoke has reported record results following its acquisition by Manchester-based Digital Media Stream last year.

The Chorley-based company has grown steadily and consistently since it became one of the first agencies providing web design in Preston back in 2001. 

In the years since, the agency has become established as a leading north-west B2B digital marketing agency, and has delivered over 250 website projects. 

Manchester-based Digital Media Stream acquired Bespoke in 2023 to bolster their own website design and development offering, for B2B clients. 

The new structure has seen turnover from website and marketing retainer bookings increase by 11% year on year, with a similar increase in profits. 

Bespoke co-founder and CEO Steve Brennan said: “We met lots of companies who were interested in acquiring Bespoke, and received several offers, but Digital Media Stream was our clear preferred option. 

“The partnership is a win for all parties. Bespoke’s clients benefit from DMS’s extensive Hubspot expertise, and we bring bespoke website development and digital marketing capabilities to their clients. 

“We had a sensible integration plan that would benefit clients of both companies, and it’s delivered the expected results for the business, and our clients.” 

Bespoke continues to operate from it’s Preston headquarters, with offices in Manchester and London serving clients in those areas. 

The agency is also celebrating winning a Sunday Times Best Places to Work award this year, along with successful renewal of its Investors in People accreditation.
