What a year it’s been! As the end of 2024 approaches, we’re taking time to reflect on all that we’ve achieved over the last 12 months. From launching a new website, to setting a new company record of 15 awards finalist announcements on national and international levels, we’ve had a busy 2024 (and we can’t wait for an even busier 2025!)
Arke-lytics
We’ve been busy, but here are our top achievements and stats from the year!
- Number of new websites launched: One!
- In June this year, we launched our brand new website, complete with a new look and feel. Same amazing award-winning work, shiny new visuals to match. Time has flown by, and we can’t believe the new website is only 6 months old.
- Number of media partners used: 16
- We had the opportunity to introduce even more channels in our media plans this year, including Uber Ads and SkyAdsmart to find innovative approaches to increasing campaign reach!
- Most used channel for paid media: Google Ads
- Although we’ve had amazing opportunities to utilise a wide range of channels for paid media, the “old guard” channels like Google Ads and Meta have earned that title for a reason!
Did someone say “Award-Winning Agency?”
We’ve had an amazing time on the 2024 awards circuit and we’re so grateful for all the hard-work the team has put into all their campaigns, and for our amazing clients we get to work with!
- Finalists for 15 awards across 6 awards bodies (both on a national and international level), setting a new company record for most number of finalist shortlists!
- Double award wins at the UK Agency Awards – Best Integrated Campaign for BFI and Campaign Effectiveness for Health Counts, and took home Employer of the Year at the Sussex Business Awards!
- Officially certified a Great Place to Work!
Culture-rama
Our team has been growing this year, with a mix of brand-new hires and promotions!
- We’ve had 6 promotions in 2024, including our amazing founder, Steph Noble, stepping into her new role as CEO of Arke and Alex Watson being promoted to Managing Director!
- 5 New Starters – Blair, Sasha, Emily, Kim, and Jon all started at Arke this year, and we’re so lucky to have them as part of our team.
Our Charity Round-Up
We’ve supported 6 charities and causes that are near and dear to our hearts:
- Endometriosis UK, who we’re proud to be a registered Endometriosis Friendly Employer with and who we organised an 8-mile fundraising walk, to symbolise the 8-year average waiting time for an Endometriosis diagnosis in the UK. We raised an incredible £820 for the cause!
- In support of PlasticFreeJuly, we conducted a beach clean-up of our beautiful Brighton beaches and collected a whopping grand total of 60-kilos of litter!
- In October, we hosted an office Tombola and “Wear It Pink” day to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and raised £238 for Breast Cancer Now! We had amazing community support from a number of local businesses, so it’s especially rewarding to bring everyone together to support the cause.
- 10 of our Arkenauts are also using one of their volunteer days to support Chomp, a Brighton-based charity that supports low-income families. The team will be helping with packing and delivering Christmas hampers, and we’re so glad to be able to support such an amazing local charity.
- We’ve also donated to the Clock Tower Sanctuary, another local Brighton-based charity, and have partnered with CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) as one of our volunteer partners!
We’re so proud of all the hard work our team has done this year! We will be taking some time off to recharge and rest up for Christmas and New Year’s, so we will be closed from the 24th of December until the 3rd of January when we’ll be back and ready to kick off the new year! Until then, Happy Holidays, and see you in 2025!
