A Newcastle headquartered strategic design and digital agency is celebrating its most successful year to date, with turnover hitting seven figures for the first time and the creation of a number of new roles.
JUMP, based in Milburn House, Dean Street, supports ambitious companies across the UK, delivering brand strategy, design, and digital solutions. After a £150,000 investment from NEL Fund Managers, the company, run by managing director Rob Brown, has gone from strength to strength.
Working across a range of sectors, the creative agency works with clients, including the NHS, 3Dental, St Martins Care, Serios Group, Living North Magazine, and David Summerfield Jewellers and the development of these partnerships has fuelled the company’s ongoing success. In 2021, JUMP engaged 360 Growth Partners to support its three-year growth strategy.
As a result, JUMP is currently recruiting three new roles, including a head of design, a designer, and a developer. This adds to the recent promotions of Kris Consadine to technical director, Andy Baxter to creative director and Hannah Fawcett to senior designer. Alana Whenary will complete her Level 3 Digital and Marketing Apprenticeship this summer, with the aim of taking on a new marketing role within the business.
Speaking of JUMP’s success, managing director Rob Brown said; “The past two years have undoubtedly been challenging for many businesses, but we took that challenge head-on. 2021 was the most successful in our 15-year history, and I put that down to the strength of our relationships and creating real clarity for our future growth. We have many long-term partners, who stick with us because we understand their ambitions and they know we deliver excellence time and again. We’re on a journey together and it matters to us that they succeed.
“Our growth has catapulted us to new heights and I’m proud that we are able to support the continued development of our existing team, as well as create employment opportunities for emerging talent. I am excited by what the future holds for JUMP.”
Kris Consadine has stepped into a new role as technical director, ensuring digital projects including websites, apps and online, deliver a fantastic user experience, as well as enabling a smooth project development process for clients.
Speaking of his promotion, Kris said; “It’s great to work for an organisation that has such bold ambitions not only for its clients but for itself too. We are always striving for better, leading the way in terms of technical excellence and I’m delighted to support Rob and the rest of the team in my new role, as JUMP continues its growth journey.”
Andrew Silver who owns 360 Growth Partners and has been supporting Rob and the senior management team to develop and implement their growth strategy. He said; “It has been a real pleasure working with Rob and the team. It is great to see the huge progress that has already been made, in so many areas of the business. We continue to learn together and react in what are very uncertain times, but the clarity of vision and culture is pivotal to the continued success of the business.”
