Bespoke, a long-standing digital marketing agency, has reported record results after being acquired by Manchester’s Digital Media Stream last year.
Originally based in Chorley, Bespoke has consistently grown since it became one of the pioneering agencies to offer web design in Preston in 2001.
In the years since, the agency has solidified its reputation as a top north-west B2B digital marketing agency, having delivered over 250 websites for clients.
Digital Media Stream, a Manchester-based company, completed the acquisition of Bespoke in 2023 to strengthen their own offerings in website design and development for B2B clients.
Following the acquisition, Bespoke has seen an 11% year-on-year increase in revenue from website and marketing retainer services, with a comparable rise in profits.
Steve Brennan, Co-founder and CEO of Bespoke, 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 its Preston base, with additional offices located in Manchester and London to serve clients in those regions.
This year, the agency is also celebrating after winning a Sunday Times Best Places to Work award and successfully renewing its Investors in People accreditation.
