It was precisely this that led to an experiment, thanks to which I have the great honor of representing myself as an independent SEO […] Read More
Image: Rethinking the Agency Model: Why Paid Media Needs a Partner, Not Just a Provider Rethinking the Agency Model: Why Paid Media Needs a Partner, Not Just a Provider Ignition Digital was founded in December 2025 with a simple belief. Paid media agencies should operate as partners in their clients’ businesses, not as distant vendors managing dashboards. For years, the traditional agency model has scaled by adding layers of account executives, junior managers and offshore teams between the work and the client. As organisations […] Read More

The European Search Awards are a key date on our calendar. We work hard on our entries, but as you’re up against some of the biggest international agencies, it’s always a little nerve-wracking! To come out with two wins is huge, and it’s wonderful to see both leadership and client teams recognised for their forward-thinking work. Victoria Patten, Marketing Manager

Winning the Best Large SEO Agency award at the European Search Awards is pretty much the pinnacle of awards you can win – it’s a super proud moment for me. We’ve come a long way as an agency in the last 10 years (it was only three years ago we won the Best Small SEO Agency at the European awards), and I know awards don’t define us, but they do help guide us along the way. And for me, this is an indication that we are heading in the right direction. Nick Redding, Managing Director
