Code celebrates passing £4m mark and hunts for new creative director | Print |  Email to a friend
Thursday, 07 February 2008
Code Computerlove is claiming to have accelerated its average 25% year-on-year growth to 70% for 2007, with the news that it has reached the £4m turnover mark and is looking to expand further.

The agency, founded and owned by directors Tony Foggett, Wini Tse and Louis Georgiou, welcomed 14 new clients through the doors last year and bumped up turnover considerably with the opening of its new media and marketing department (claiming billings of £1m in its first year).

In 2008 alone the agency has won business from Crown Paints , Epson, HBOS and PZ Cussons and will be hoping to maintain its current client retention rate of 93%. The agency also produced a number of campaigns for long-standing clients including Sharwoods , HMV and Rank Hovis.

The apparent success has led agency MD Tony Foggett to instigate a recruitment drive, as he looks to fill numerous spaces across the decks in Code and, specifically, starts a hunt for a new creative director.

Tse currently heads up the creative team, but will now be joined by a new face to assist in the day-to-day running of the department.

Board director Andrew Davenport said of the next stage of development: “We’re aiming to keep doing what we do best - concentrate on our full service offering and help marketers to capitalise on the continued inexorable rise of consumer's passion for online.”

Don't stack up to me... almost half the billings must be media, how do you employ 45 people plus and turn over just £2m in services??
