Barnsley online marketing firm expands to cope with growth

Online marketing business Bigfoot Digital is taking big steps towards further growth by strengthening its creative team.

The SEO and social media experts, based in Barnsley’s Digital Media Centre, have taken on three new team members since April and are currently looking to fill two further positions.

Bigfoot moved into the landmark Barnsley building in 2012 from an office in Wakefield where the business was founded with just two staff.

The team has grown significantly since moving into the building and now occupies the largest office space available employing 10.

As a result of the business’s recent success the company has commissioned a new website which is being worked on by another DMC tenant, Crazyhorse Creative.

Bigfoot Digital director Mark Woodcock, explained: “Moving Bigfoot Digital to Barnsley three years ago was by far the best business decision we ever made.

“The support available in Barnsley and in the Digital Media Centre has been second to none. We have monthly business mentoring support from the DMC team and we have also had help with various matters from Enterprising Barnsley.”

“It’s an exciting time for Bigfoot and we’re looking forward to growing the team further and seeing what the next few years have to offer.”

Mark is always on the lookout for fresh talent to join the team- he has a strong belief that passion for the industry is the most important thing a potential employee can possess, which for him, comes above experience as the world of SEO is ever-changing.
