Digital savvy female entrepreneurs treble turnover at Newcastle communications agency

Sparkle Communications, which specialises in digital media, PR and event management, is going from strength to strength after trebling its turnover during its second year of business.

The Newcastle-based digital communications agency has witnessed its client portfolio grow exponentially, expanding from just two to over forty in its two years of trading.

The company was founded in 2013 by Nicola Little and Jennifer Robson, through their shared passion of social media and all things digital.

Now the directors intend to launch a training division after helping nearly 500 businesses during the past year.

Nicola Little, who regularly features in the annual North East Twitterati and was also named in the Top 250 North East of Twitter influencers, said: “We live and breathe digital communications and love nothing better than empowering other businesses to do it for themselves.

“We have trained or delivered social media and training to 500 people through partnering with other organisations and it’s been incredibly popular. So we’re introducing our Sparkle Training programme and monthly “drop-in and ask us anything” session.”

The programme starts on Friday 15 May with a launch event in Newcastle that includes a free taster session, the chance to ask questions and networking over brunch.

Jennifer, who is also a board member for a number of other organisations, added: “As a forward thinking agency in an industry that continues to evolve, we have put plans in place to continue our growth into the future.

“The launch of our training programme is a fantastic way to celebrate our two years of success and the results we have achieved so far. This includes winning the North East I Made a Difference Awards Winner in 2014 and building up our social media network that now includes over 15,000 people”.
