Leeds agency announces expansion with eight new hires

Digital agency Engage continues to invest in its commitment to develop and grow with eight new hires across three teams.

New colleagues Dave Whitrick, Leah Wood, Graham Taylor, Emilia Keskinen, Oliver Askew- Sheard, Phoebe Holden, Lucy Bateman, Lucy Roe and Ela Piepiorka joined the business across the Finance, Design and Performance Marketing teams to support the agency’s drive to continue being the UK’s top rated B-Corp digital agency.

Now standing at 52 employees, the Leeds-based business is also Great Place to Work-Certified™, an accreditation that uses employee feedback to assess factors such as leadership effectiveness, career development and work-life balance to ascertain an overall score.

Bringing more than 15 years’ combined experience in the marketing and digital mix, the exciting new hires previously held roles across major businesses including the RAF, Trinity Leeds and Creode.

The Performance Marketing team has been strengthened with three new hires, including the appointment of Dave Whitrick as Head of SEO. Dave will lead the team to deliver SEO insight and expertise across industries, verticals and tech stacks.

Commenting on his appointment, Dave said: “Since my appointment at Engage I’ve really enjoyed getting into the detail, adding strategic input across the SEO function and accounts. I’m excited to help continue driving significant successes across our clients.”

Sanjeevni Dip-Matadeen, Head of People Development & Culture at Engage added: “We’re thrilled to have seen eight new hires across four different teams. Giving us the opportunity to not only deliver top results for our clients but also grow Engage with talent that reflects our values and clients’ missions.

“Engage stands as a testament to resilience and adaptability in the face of industry challenges. The company’s proactive approach to talent management, strategic hiring, and investment in employee development positions it as an industry leader not just in performance but in fostering a culture of continuous improvement and resilience.”
