Inc & Co, the agency collective set up by Jack Mason, says it has had a £10m turnover in its first year of business.
The collective started with five members of staff in 2019 and now employs 120 staff across six agencies. It is recruiting for an additional 20 staff across the businesses, which operate across Leeds, London and Manchester.
CEO Mason said: “We’ve invested heavily in the last 12 months and I like to think we’re inventing the new normal for doing business in the creative sector.”
“The secret to our success is not focusing on only one type of business, we currently have a software development company, digital marketing agencies, and our most recent acquisition of Skylab, a digital strategy and production company working with some of the biggest names in sport – we are ensuring we have variety.”
“Last year we brought on board Laundrapp, a service that offers on-demand laundry and dry cleaning, who experienced huge growth during lockdown.
“Laundrapp has recently partnered with Mumsnet and we are looking forward to progressing with the Mumsnet platform partnership.
“It’s an exciting time for the Inc & Co brand. Our collective is going from strength to strength and we’re aiming to double turnover in the next 12 months and bring a diverse set of companies into the group.”
The creative collective provides each of the businesses access to centralised resources such as business strategy, finance, HR and marketing.
Inc & Co recently launched a property investment group, Inc & Co Property, that has acquired the serviced office accommodation specialists, Prospect Business Centres.
Rebranded under incspaces, it offers managed office space in Leeds, London and Manchester with plans to expand throughout the UK.
