Engage has invested in new talent thanks to the growth that it has experienced over the past year. The SEO team in particular has expanded significantly, with a 50% increase in the number of team members since the beginning of 2021.

Alex Willcocks, managing director at Engage, added: “Investing in recruitment and new talent is not only important for delivering results for clients and securing new business, but it also drives team morale as they feel part of a company that’s growing and thriving. People are our most valuable asset and our latest hires will positively contribute to our culture, business and client accounts. It’s been brilliant to see how everyone has integrated into the agency, and I can’t wait to find out how each of them shapes Engage over the coming months.”
