We turn 5 on the 13th May đ 5 successful years, each one better than the last. Given itâs a milestone I thought Iâd write a quick blog looking back.
Maboâs goal has always been to be the best with a small caveat of also being the biggest. The first 5 years have seen us rise from a home office to nearly 30 members of staff servicing 300+ clients, we occupy the entire top floor of a purpose-built building for digital businesses but things, of course, werenât always this way. On a personal level, Iâm often asked âyou must be proud of what youâve achieved?â the truth is the goal we set when we were very young sounded silly coming from a company with a 1 room office, shared toilets and kitchen worktops as desks. Itâs huge, itâs mammoth size, itâs surely the greatest goal there could be, the best and biggest? Our goal is still the same today but much more realised and weâre much more serious about achieving it.
After just over one year of trading, I brought in Maboâs first member of staff, a former colleague Rob Jackson (Rob is now Operations Director at Mabo) at the same time as a small office. I liked to think it was going to be the biggest business risk to date and there wouldnât really be another one like it but moving at the fast pace we do it wasnât long before it was trumped.
During 2016, Mabo had to move offices to accommodate our team which by our 3rd birthday had reached staff number 8 and became a Premier Google Partner for our work.
This time last year we had already moved into our current home in Middlesbrough to accommodate new staff, growing our team to 20. At this time Mabo were looking after 200 clients. Notably, 2017 saw the beginning of our events with Google, as we hosted our first joint event and had been selected to spearhead Googleâs Vanguard programme.
Over the past year, Mabo has continued to grow and thrive. We now service over 300 clients and manage over ÂŁ2m of ad spend every month. Weâve been shortlisted for over 10 awards, one of which is for âBest Small PPC Agencyâ at the European search awards next week and the team is just about to tip over the 30 mark on the back of our latest recruitment drive.
The next year will be huge for us and we will continue to work hard and give it our all to become the BEST and biggest PPC Management Agency in the UK.
A massive thank you to all those who have supported Mabo over the past 5 years, staff and clients, what weâre trying to achieve simply isnât possible without the commitment from both. Weâre immensely proud of where weâve got to and weâve got a long way to go but Iâm sure our experience and drive, our dedication, as well as pure Northern grit, will see move closer to our goal each year. Weâll continue to develop our service and our team to help us achieve the ultimate goal.
The story continuesâŚ
