A BELFAST-based digital advertising agency has quadrupled its workforce in the last four years as it responds to a growing demand for its services in Britain and Ireland.

Loud Mouth Media, which also has established offices in Dublin and Glasgow, will hire two new staff in the coming weeks on top of the 15 recruited at the firm since 2014. The agency currently employs 16 across its three offices.

The expansion, supported by Invest NI, is part of the company's ongoing plans to grow its reputation and client list, particularly in Scotland and the Republic in the next twelve months.

Managing director of Loud Mouth Media, Mark Haslam said the award-winning winning is on target for its best year ever.

“We are on target to reach our highest year to date in terms of sales and I’m very proud of the team which has contributed to this success.”

"With the help of Invest NI we have been able to build up our team and also win business with some large ecommerce and finance clients with substantial digital marketing spends," he added.

Loud Mouth Media has benefited from over £90,000 of Invest NI support towards its job creation, marketing and skills development activities.

Moira Loughran, Invest NI's eastern regional manager said the support has helped Loud Mouth establish a strong reputation in the market.

“The support we’ve offered towards job creation and market development activities at Loud Mouth Media has accelerated its growth and contributed to the business securing new customers outside Northern Ireland. This is an exciting stage for the company and we wish the team continued success.”

Loud Mouth Media offers a specialist tailored digital marketing service to its customers and was named ‘Best Small PPC Agency in The UK’ in last year’s UK Search Awards.
