A CO Armagh digital marketing agency is embarking on a recruitment drive to fuel sales growth in North America.
Newry-based Fat Fish Marketing is creating six new roles this year as it looks to grab a bigger share of the lucrative alternative medicine market, forecast to be worth over $196 billion by 2025.
The new roles will contribute £189,000 in annual salaries to the local economy, with an average wage of £31,500.
Fat Fish managing director, Joshua Neilly said the latest expansion is a response to growing demand.
"The demand for our services and expertise is accelerating. Boosting our team will be crucial to remaining competitive and enabling us to offer tailored cross functional digital marketing services," Mr Neilly said.
"There is general global trend of increased understanding of the health benefits of alternative medicine so we need to position ourselves to meet the increasing needs of our existing and potential customer base. Working alongside Invest NI, we are excited to be investing in growing the business further to maximise on new export opportunities."
