Integrated digital marketing agency, StrategiQ, today welcomes brilliant social media agency, Untapped Digital, to its team. 

StrategiQ, which in 2022 has grown to 50 employees, and opened an additional office in London, acquires Untapped Digital as part of its growth strategy into the City. The Untapped Digital team will join the growing agency to enhance its social media offering, spearheaded by Untapped Founder, Corrie Jones. 

Untapped Digital was founded six years ago and has grown from a one-person enterprise into a team of four social media specialists. Corrie has, in that time, become renowned in the field as an authority on social media management and strategy.  

Corrie joins StrategiQ as the agency’s Head of Social Media. Her team will deliver integrated and standalone social media management alongside StrategiQ’s current full suite of digital marketing services. 

The agency, which has been placed on Campaign’s Best Places to Work for another year, has scooped numerous other industry awards across multiple disciplines. StrategiQ has pledged to provide a firm infrastructure for the continued growth and development of the Untapped Digital team.

Andy Smith, CEO and founder of StrategiQ said: “Despite the talk around recession, we are facing this challenging period head on, making the most of the opportunity for growth in our sector by building our business to deliver the best value and strongest outcomes for our clients. 

“This is part of a considered growth strategy that factors in the challenges ahead.  We want to send the message to our clients and the industry that you have to put your best foot forward - and make bold choices that ultimately set you apart from the competition. In doing so, we hope to give clients the confidence to do the same.”

Andy continues: “This is also a proactive means of combating the highly competitive hiring climate in the sector. We have been getting to know the business really well and can see how both agencies can work together to improve their offering but also our tools and services.”

Corrie Jones, founder, saidL “We could not be more excited by this new partnership. It’s thrilling to join forces with a full-service agency, whose employees bring so much passion to work every day. Plus, it’s critical that we have a shared vision: to deliver world-class social media services for ambitious brands”. 

Consequently, StrategiQ has already outgrown the London office that it opened in May 2022, and has moved to a larger space to support expected continued expansion. 

Charlie Taylor, Marketing & Performance Director, said: “The StrategiQ team is really excited to work with Untapped Digital. This partnership is invaluable in demonstrating the strength of services across all digital channels. Organic social media has incredible potential when it is managed by experts. Corrie and her team brings a wealth of expertise to StrategiQ, and further enhances the opportunities and performance for current and future clients alike.”

The acquisition will not impact on the delivery of current services to clients of either agency, but instead inject fresh thinking and additional expertise across both teams.
