Jackson signs up after having worked at Wilmslow’s Pavilion, now part of the Hasgrove Group,  as digital media manager and at Big Mouth Media prior to that.

She joins SEO specialist Victoria McKevitt at the operation, pushing Quba’s overall headcount to just under 30.

Quba, which opened up in its home city of Sheffield in 2000, has traditionally been known as more of a web design firm, dealing with a slew of high profile clients such as Cadbury’s Schweppes, Channel 4, Land Rover and the Carbon Trust.

Quba: writing's on the wall for Sheffield

McKevitt herself told How-Do that the firm had found it difficult to recruit specialists in Sheffield, whereas there was a much deeper pool of talent to draw from in Manchester – as evidenced by Jackson’s move.

A release from Quba MD Matthew Williams confirmed this, as he stated: “As Manchester is the capital of Digital Marketing in the North, the move to the city seemed to be the next step to ensure Quba is at the forefront of changes in the industry, whilst also having access to big clients and being able to further its expertise from specialist recruits; something we found difficult to achieve in Sheffield.

“Having a base in both Manchester and Sheffield enables us to compete with big players in the online industry and put Quba on the map”.

The agency’s Manchester office is based in Piccadilly House in central Manchester.
