Foreword
By Paul Mead, former board director at Jellyfish and Founder of VCCP Media
Our aims with the IPA Beacon project are:
- To actively reach out to source the best agency growth stories in the UK
- To provide a platform to celebrate and showcase these stories and to profile their founders
- To introduce the IPA and welcome future members to our community
- To inspire future founders
- To celebrate the UK agency sector as a whole
The inaugural list of IPA Beacon agencies covers such a vibrant and innovative mix of founder stories, capabilities, UK regions and growth stages. It has been compiled through the IPA network, desktop research and social media outreach, with the final published list of agencies having been interviewed by editor-in-chief, Ellen Hammett.
What the IPA Beacon agencies have in common is being natively digital with a strong sense of mission. They are each bringing a fresh perspective to the way they deliver their services. And with the changes that technology is so rapidly enabling there has never been a better time for fresh perspectives.
It will be fascinating to follow their progress! I hope also that this is just the beginning. Who should be on next year’s list?
