North East marketing agency ramarketing received investment from Manchester-based private equity firm NorthEdge to help it ramp up growth plans.
The partners say the undisclosed investment will support expansion of ramarketing's services and an increased international presence - including growing its footprint in the US.
Founder Raman Sehgal said: "Finding the right partner for our next phase of growth was critical, and from the outset, NorthEdge had a strong understanding of our business, our industry, and our aims for the future, whilst mirroring our own values.
