Leeds based digital agency, Search Laboratory, has revealed impressive growth following the recruitment of 25 new starters to the integrated agency. As part of the recruitment drive, the company has invested in 19 UK based roles, and 6 positions in the US. The growth has been accredited to the company’s innovative approach to integrated services, which is growing in popularity amongst leading businesses across the UK and US.
Brands already adopting this new integrated approach with the agency include clients such as Ann Summers. The recruits will work to service such clients across disciplines including PPC, SEO, and international digital marketing, alongside the agency’s already 130 strong team of employees across the Leeds and New York offices. The move sees Search Laboratory strengthen its vision to spearhead the integration of digital communications to support its client’s business growth.
