Creative agency increases headcount to 131 and revenue to £11.5 million

Creative agency Leith has grown its revenue by £1.7m to £11.5m, while also taking headcount to 131.

The Edinburgh-based company's annual results for the year ending 31 December 2021 also revealed plans to hire in more positions, with the aim of reaching more than 140 staff by the end of this year.

Leith's client lists now includes The National Lottery, Worldwide Cancer Research, The Scottish Salmon Company, Skills Development Scotland, Irn Bru, the Scottish Government and NatWest.

At the beginning of 2020, Leith merged with Signal, with 2021 marking the first full year of trading since the merger.

During the year, the firm appointed Vic Milne as its new head of strategy, replacing David Amers, who had held the role for 26 years.

Milne, who heads up a team of 16 people, also now sits on the board at Leith.

Richard Marsham, group managing partner at Leith, said: “2021 was a record year for the agency, in spite of it being a challenging year on so many fronts.

“Our mantra is around what we describe as ‘bold ideas that make a difference’, an approach that has helped us to secure new business across the UK and increasingly on the international front.”

Leith was founded in 1984, and acquired by Cello Group in 2004.
