Leading UK marketing agency Purplex has welcomed five new employees as part of its ambitious plans for growth.
Purplex is the UK’s top full-service agency in the fenestration, construction and home improvements sectors and, in its 20th year of existence, is growing quickly to meet the demands of new and emerging technologies.
Last year the Weston-super-Mare based company passed the 100-employee mark and is keen to add more specialist staff to its payroll.
The newest batch of recruits are: Jack Dosson, Content Writer; Will Green, Social Media Executive; Carrington Walker, Content Writer; Chris D’Agorne, Growth Manager, and Danielle Rennie, Social Media Executive.
Jack has experience in writing and video production, along with BA and MA qualifications in journalism and communications. “I chose to work at Purplex to develop at a bigger agency, especially given there are so many talented people to learn from,” he said. “It seemed a great working environment, and everyone’s been incredibly friendly and welcoming.”
Will is a media production graduate from Bournemouth University currently living in Bristol. “Purplex has a unique family atmosphere that I haven’t seen anywhere else,” he said. “I knew I’d love working here as soon as I came in for the interview, everyone was so warm and lovely.”
Before joining Purplex, Danielle had various jobs including ‘Sandwich Artist’ at Subway! She was aiming for a career in digital media and has now found her niche. “As a newbie to the marketing world, I wanted to work for a company where I could grow and develop the skills I gained through my digital marketing diploma,” she said. “At Purplex, I have the opportunity to do just that by working with a variety of clients on their social media.”
Carrington has a background as a senior journalist in print, broadcast and digital media, and has freelanced in PR and content creation. “Purplex offered a great opportunity to test all the new skills I had picked up,” he said, “and I’ve got to grips with my role fairly quickly. It has allowed me to utilise skills from a few different fields and I hope this continues as I progress through Purplex during my time here.”
Chris describes his career path as ‘circuitous.’ He worked at the BBC’s One Show before studying for an MSc in Biotechnology, and has spent most of the last decade in a variety of marketing roles, as well as founding howtorewild.co.uk, the UK’s top independent rewilding website. “I was looking for a large modern workplace with a vibrant, welcoming community, to escape the lonely life of working from home,” he said. “Purplex has more than delivered on all fronts and I’m particularly enjoying the freedom in my role to make bold decisions that will positively influence growth.”
Welcoming the new recruits, Andrew Scott, Purplex founder and MD, commented: “People are the lifeblood of any business and at Purplex we’re committed to recruiting the very best staff from Weston and beyond. We have exciting plans for further expansion and our future has never looked so bright.”
