Search-first creative agency Rise at Seven, founded by Carrie Rose and Stephen Kenwright in June 2019, expands to Manchester and appoints former Missguided head of brand to head up their campaigns team following 190% growth in the last year.
The agency has now hit 95 staff and soon to be 100 with a new Manchester office opening and Chicago expansion earlier this year. The agency has 15 job roles open right now and expects to double headcount by the end of 2021.
After signing a whopping 24 new clients in the last three months, including Monzo, Tough Mudder, Confused.com, Klarna and more. Their Sheffield HQ is expanding currently with a new space for 110 staff but they expect to reach capacity really quickly. As a result of this, the agency has decided to expand to Manchester to get access to a whole new talent pool of creatives and digital talent. They already have 2 senior heads of services within Manchester and are looking to hire.
On the appointment Carrie Rose, Chief Executive of Rise at Seven, said:
“I am absolutely thrilled to announce that we are expanding our physical presence to Manchester. We have just had our second birthday and with the recent addition of some huge clients based in Manchester’s media city, this expansion was the obvious move. This is going to mean we can work even closer with them to help build brand, tie search, social and PR altogether. We are quickly expanding and are rapidly closing in on the 100 staff mark based across Sheffield, London & Chicago. Our Manchester office will give us access to the huge amount of talent within the city to help propel the agency globally.”
El will be heading up Rise’s newly formed cross channel content marketing team offering as well as content strategy to create work that will span across search, content, creative, social and experiential.
Head of Campaigns El Chetcuti had this to say about joining the team:
“I’m especially excited to be part of an agency which is driven by tangible customer insight and relevancy who executes campaigns with such creative flair! Having worked with the agency in my previous role, I saw for myself their level of creativity, energy and passion and just wanted to be part of their growth. I’m looking forward to enhancing Rise At Seven’s campaigns offering a 360 customer experience which drives ROI across all marketing channels. My strengths lie in creating viral engagement and disruptive thinking whilst maintaining a commercial outlook.”
